Yes

Tell us about your experience with alternative energy:

Google my name. I have been what many regard as a visionary in this venue. I began the Cape Wind project, and have been writing about, talking about and trying to do something about this issue for two decades. The crisis we are in was inevitable, even though it was invisible to many for the past 20 years. Now is the time and we musty be the one to do it!

What excites you about this campaign?

The vision!

What do you want to do to help?

Everything, innovate the appropriate technology, implement the plan, develop the resources and reclaim our future.

I have done quite a little work on wave and current power extraction technologies, as well as research on suitable off-shore sites for DC current-grown artificial reef-based island communities, and even free-sailing islands made with the same technology. With 8 Billion hungry mouths on the way and the seas rising, we need to make the water our home and stop it being treated like a sewer for urban societies!

I live over on Salten Point(Barnstable Harbor) and have a flagpole that was there when I bought the house. I just think how great it wuold be to have a windmill instead. I called the building dept. but couldn't get a straight answer at the time. Noone knew anything. Do you know if I can get a permit? My neighbors might protest but who cares. Looking out over the marsh in front of my house a hundred years ago you would seen tons of windmills pumping sea water into the salt works. Nothing new on Cape Cod.

We could use some help with this...

Come join us at the group Paradigm Shift Institute, a proposed nonprofit organization promoting education, innovation, entrepeneurship, and the solving of national and global crises.

I hope you can help us make a future for our children.

The windfarm that is proposed off-shore could solve a bunch of problems. I left the Cape 30 years ago, and moved to NH. I have always, until recently, used wood or biomass to heat my home. I now use propane--the ROI is better than wood right now, and there is less environmental impact. In any case, keep up the good work. Bob Close, New Ipswich, NH.
