Just recieved a letter from Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst. He thanked me for taking my time in sending him my comments. I SENT THEM THROUGH PICKENS PLAN!!!! Took all of 5 seconds.
He says he "supports a ballanced approach that includes oil, gas and renewables- all while keeping an eye on cost and minimizing environmental effects. I certainly appreciate knowing your views on these important matters and look forward to a robust debate on state and federal levels."
Shelly Botkin is his senior policy analyst who follows energy issues. He refered my letter to her and instructed her to take my ideas into account as they work on developing policies and laws for the State of Texas. He says I am welcome to contact her with additional comments or ideas I would like them to consider.
HMMMMMM.......

Happy New Year Betty,
Last year I helped so many members of Pickens Plan learn about personal home energy plans. It's all about conservation of power, and home power generation, things I have been doing at my residence to lower my electricity costs. Send me a friend request a to add me Betty, I'd be honored to have you as a friend here.
BTW, Texas: I just posted an article link on my pickens page about Home Wind Systems in Texas. Your state's representatives, governor, and public utility commission officials are not in your corner with this "weak policy" on Net Metering. Instead they have the tables turned against green power for businesses and homeowners. Texas has created multiple sets of rules for loopholes and you have less rights than people in other states. You should read that article, important.
Hope you can:
1. bring at least 5 friends and associates to the site
2. hit the red Contact Congress button to email your legislators and governors a request that they sign the pledge
3. get some pledges signed and faxed in to Boone. If you can get over 100 we would be proud to have you in the 100CLUB!
PLEASE see this video: http://push.pickensplan.com/video/video/show?id=2187034:Video:1249346 . It is very clear to even the "Gang of 20" pro alternative /renewable legislators that they will need significant and vocal support to "push back" the naysayers and give them a place to hang their "political hat" to support this plan. IT IS PURLEY POLITICAL. PERIOD. END OF STORY. Our success will be in our numbers!
Please get pledges signed and fax them in. We all meet so many people everyday, and they have not been counted yet. How badly do we want this? THEY ARE TELLING US THEY NEED HUGE numbers. Can we do it? ARE YOU IN?
Best
Kim
