Natural Gas is the way to the immediate future that is for sure. I have been using CNG for several years on the boat. In past years I have visited many Latin American countries, as an Engineer, that use CNG to power municipal transit vehicles. Thi...

There’s a new Natural Gas Caucus in the U.S. House of Representatives which is headed by Rep. Tim Murphy (R-...
Thanks for the post V.H. It really is a big deal. I just wish it were $100B from the Stimulus. However, it should send some signals. Now, I just wish my Evergreen Solar stock would go up.

- Are you interested in becoming an organizer in your area?
- Yes
- Tell us about your experience with alternative energy:
- I am an Electronic Engineer who designed solar sites for the State of Michigan. I also have traveled widely to Latin America where they use CNG to power municipal vehicles, e.g. Brazil, Mexico, Columbia.
- What excites you about this campaign?
- The opportunity to participate in an energy revolution that will make North America energy self-sufficient. To make the air better for all mankind. To figure out a way to capitalize on the opportunities that will become available in the near future.
- What do you want to do to help?
- I am willing to participate in the plan but not sure I want to take an organizational leadership role at this time.

Oh, my, I hope you didn't think I meant PV as the solar solution... I'm talking about CSP, and Rankine cycle gen-sets. So the commonality between your geothermal & my solar-thermal is quite high. In fact there's no reason that a geothermal site couldn't add my parabolic troughs and top-up the base-load from your wells.
Ya know, rather than wait the 60 years, maybe we should get together sooner... you know before they outlaw beer again... ;^) (what were they thinking?!?)
Catch ya on the March on DC...

- Hey Chuck,
Top 3 renewable energy sources for the next 60 years...
I gotta say I think solar will take the top spot... because I think it'll be cheaper to install a field of panels than it'll be to dig the mole-holes. ;^)
Whaddya say? In 60 years we get together for a beer -- and whoever is *right* pays... See ya in three score. ;^)

Sally Thompson-Calderon said… - Hi Chuck,
Thank you for your suggestion, and your efforts on behalf of our Indiana district. I am taking action in any way I am able - I am constantly emailing Evan Bayh, and Richard Lugar through the Pickens Plan website. I am also a member of AGreenerIndiana, Greenpeace, and the NRDC. With your leadership, I feel confident that we hoosiers can make our voices heard in DC. I agree with you that alternative energy sources are the only way we will preserve our world, and hopefully the animals that share it with us. Thanks again.
