I am opening Green Garage in Encinitas, CA and need your support.
Honda Motors the company that owned Fuel Maker Forced receivership. Since then FSS Fuel Systems Solutions has been in the process of purchasing the assets. FSS owns Impco and BRC. Both companies manufacture parts for CNG conversion of vehicles.

I hate to sound like another whacko with conspiracy theories, but my personal belief is that the decline in interest in using CNG as a vehicle fuel roughly coincided with the electricity-producing utilities scrambling to build natural-gas fired pl...
The only way I can think of to break this attitude is to lead by example.
If some of us invest in green technology with an expected ROI, a few people may take notice and follow suit.
If that happens maybe we can build up some momentum.....
I've come to realize that Americans are not interested in anything that has an ROI of 5 years or more.
Americans want a payback of a few months or less.
They can't see beyond next month's expenses....
Right on queue.....
I was wondering how long it would take Mr Epps to chime in and bad mouth any meaningful conversation about solar.
He is more fanatical than your average radical Islamist when it comes to hatred of Solar PV.
Oh well. I guess ...
Here's one reason why the Administration "doesn't get it," when it comes to using Natural Gas as a viable alternative transportation fuel:

The preliminary word is Fuel Maker is in negotiations with a buyer. No word on who though.

You're a godsend. Thanks for a rational response. The Epps comments were really off-putting. I've been begging my utility for info and trying to locate state rebates, etc. Lots of info out there. Thanks again and good luck with the new system. I'm very excited for you!

WELCOME and thank you for joining Pickens Plan. I am a volunteer greeter - here to help guide you with some ways that you can help.
EMAIL A LETTER TO YOUR REPRESENTATIVES
The creators of this site have given us the ability, with little effort, to send a letter to our Representatives in Washington and Governor, too. Please go to "THE PLEDGE" (at the very top of this page on the blue header). On the top of the pledge page there are three rectangular buttons- two blue, and ONE RED BUTTON, that reads "CONTACT CONGRESS". Fill in the short, standard form. Done!
DOWNLOAD AND PRINT THE PLEDGE
Carry some copies with you and get as many as you can signed and faxed back to Boone. This is how we build our numbers fast! Be a part of the "100 CLUB" by faxing in 100 signed pledges. Let me know when you are done and I will add you to that growing list!
BRING 5 FOLKS TO JOIN
The more members we have the bigger our voice to Congress! With enough members, they will finally have to listen to us, instead of the lobbyists and special interests, who will certainly try to derail this historic effort.
THERE IS NO TIME TO DELAY
…to wait and see…or to see if someone else will step up to the plate. It is time for US to roll up our sleeves and go to work. Right now momentum is working in our favor, but if gas prices retreat, the public will forget the pain, and our moment may be lost. Now is our chance to be a part of the solution!
FOR MORE INFORMATION
Check out an informative video "Topeka, Kansas Town Hall Meeting": http://www.pickensplan.com/news/2008/08/04/video-of-the-topeka-town-hall
PERSONAL ACTION OPTIONS
We need to do more than “preach to the choir”. Sharing ideas with each other is encouraging but that will not 1) increase our membership nor 2) influence public policy. If you know someone in the press or someone who blogs - get them to cover this. Ask those in the public eye to support this plan.
A GROUP FOR EVERYONE
Check out the many groups for Solar, CNG, your area, etc. Connect, learn and share. We grow stronger with your input.
LAST BUT NOT LEAST
We can always use new, fresh Welcome Wagon “drivers”! If you have some free time during the day, let me know - there are directions on the blog on my page.
PLEASE feel free to FRIEND ME so we can keep in touch and share ideas!
Thanks again for joining this historical effort. WE CAN DO THIS!
BEST
Kim
