I live in Knoxville, and when I signed up to PickensPlan, I looked for groups in Tennessee. There were groups centered in Nashville and Memphis, but not Knoxville, and the activity and leadership in our state in general was kind of weak at the time. I began the group East Tennessee for Sustainable Infrastructure and I would appreciate any input. You can find it here
I can also answer any questions about the plan or navigation of the website.
Please invite friends to the plan, as we need all the help we can get for Congress to take us seriously. We wish to be a million strong by January. There is a now a button to contact congress and a pledge on this page
Thank you very much,
Eric Lykins, Pickens Plan Campaign Ambassador

Tenneesse has great potential in providing solutions for energy:
-The Governor has a new Energy Division http://www.state.tn.us/ecd/energy.htm
-We are home to TVA that has some some green power (wind, just minutes from my home) (http://www.tva.gov/greenpowerswitch/index.htm)
-We are home to the Oak Ridge National Laboratory that does national energy research. (www.ornl.gov)
-Tenneesse is building a new biomass ethanol plant.
-We have some excellent supplies of natural gas in Tennessee, for example Morgan County, TN. (http://www.wate.com/Global/story.asp?S=8670875&nav=menu7_2_5_2)
-We are home to several auto manufacturing plants and supplier and VW just announced they are coming to Chattanooga that already runs in public transporation buses on natural gas.
-We are also home to Eastman Chemical that is leading in coal gasification.
