- Are you interested in becoming an organizer in your area?
- Maybe--But Not Sure What to Organize
- Tell us about your experience with alternative energy:
- Knowing of the opportunity that exists with hydrogen as an alternative source of energy and the natural interface with wind generation of electricity, I was excited to hear and read about Mr. Pickens' commitment.
- What excites you about this campaign?
- It is obvious that there are many alternatives to fossil fuel. Mr. Pickens has made it crystal clear that with government cooperation/support for the marketplace the necessary $$ market support will follow. His example, by way of his investment, is proof of his commitment and application of his savvy business acumen. he and warren Buffet cannot be wrong.
- What do you want to do to help?
- As one who works in the investment banking community and is getting up to speed in the area of hydrogen technology and opportunity, count on me as a supporter of the need to take advantage of all alternatives that are American to get away from reliance on foreign oil.

For the rest of us, those who have already built houses, we can obtain a subsidy or grant to fund 70% of the cost and installation of a photovoltaic system.
There are many sources on the web, but almost all of them in spanish. Let me point out that the evolution of installed generating capacity in Spain has gone from 7 MW in 2002, 11 in 2003, 21 in 2004, 40 MW in 2005, 80 MW in 2006 & 151 MW 2007. The plans are to achieve an installed generating capacity of 400 mW by 2010.
As to eolic (wind) generation, at the end of 2007 Spain had an installed generating capacity of 13.467 MW, with the objective of reaching 20,000 MW by 2012.
Please feel free to contact me, as most of the information sources are in spanish.

The difference is that the US still produces oil, but Spain is wholly dependant on imports.
is patented technology where travel occurs without air friction or rolling resistance (like “Space Travel on Earth”). ETT provides 50 times more transportation per kWh than electric trains or cars. ETT is clean, safe, and faster than jets. The focus of ETT is to maximize transportation value with proven technologies.
I have seen your footprint around this site. Are you bringing all these folks onboard? Nice job. There seems to be so few people on from RI and Mass.
Thank you for sharing your valuable insights into what Europe is doing.
I will follow up for sure.
You are terrific!

I often see comments on the pages of people joining the Pickens Plan movement where they want to be involved but have limited knowledge of where to start and where to look. After spending time in Europe and seeing what many countries are doing to secure their energy independence, I think that I can share some pretty good ideas and information with you. The European countries, especially Germany, Denmark and Spain are leading the way on that continent to renewable energy.
As we all know, knowledge is power. This power has for too long been out of our hands with emphasis shifted to different fronts by our government. Whether we are Republicans or Democrats, it doesn’t matter. We are all Americans that face the same problems caused by high oil prices. T. Boone Pickens is leading the charge here in America similar to the path many European countries have been on for 10-20 years. Most countries there have always had expensive fuel.
I wish everyone in America could take a trip to Germany to see the solar and wind initiative that they have fostered in their society. It is mind-boggling! This commitment was jump started by a place called Freiburg, Germany. Denmark started with a huge program in clean energy from wind. These are websites that I would recommend seeing where you can read about these programs and see examples of what they have done and are continuing to do - examples of where we should be heading:
1) The Solar Village – Freiburg, Germany. See: http://www.thesolarvillage.com/
2) The Folkecenter for Renewable Energy – Denmark.
See: http://www.folkecenter.net/gb/overview/publications/
Under VARIOUS, read: The transition from Fossil Fuels to the Renewable Energies
The whole website is excellent and you could spend hours there.
3) Google: Samso, Denmark. This is an island off the coast of Demark that is completely self-sustaining. http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2008/07/07/080707fa_fact_kolbert
4) Read the article written by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. titled: “Global Warming: A Real Solution”
Our issues with energy aren’t just about lack of oil to go around, they are on a more grand scale about the issues of global warming, the transportation of goods and services throughout America, and national security as well. What you will see in the above references is information that deals with a quest of becoming carbon neutral. Not only can our government and businesses move in that direction, individuals can participate as well like they have in Germany. In Germany and Denmark it is all about tax laws that encourage every homeowner to become an energy producer. (Germany has 19,000+ wind turbines and millions of solar panels). The incentives make it worthwhile and at the same time direct these countries toward energy independence. WE need to PUSH for this kind of legislation!
Unmentioned above are recommendations for a few good documentaries to watch – “Saved by the Sun” a PBS NOVA video, and “A Crude Awakening” by Basil Gemlpke, et al. Americans need to mobilize and pressure our government representatives both on the state and national level. The Pickens Plan is a good place to foster discussion and share ideas and PUSH this plan! We can all share in this vital common cause. Good luck in your quest for a better America….. Lee
Thank you for being a fellow in this process of sharing the REALITY. I saw T. Boone on CSPAN yesterday and could not sit by and not act......
I will invite all I know to join the Pickens Plan
