Welcome to the Arizona 6th Congressional District Group for the New Energy Army! If you live in AZ-06, please join us to learn more about Pickens Plan events and activities taking place in our District.
Profile Information
- Are you interested in becoming an organizer in your area?
- Maybe--But Not Sure What to Organize
- Tell us about your experience with alternative energy:
- Have been interested in alternative energy for 30 years, but have been waiting for it to be economically viable. With oil at $146 per barrel, now it is. With Mr. Pickens leading the way we will achieve energy independence. Thanks.
- What excites you about this campaign?
- The timing is perfect to get many people involved, and with Mr. Pickens leading the way, it can much more easily be achieved. Arizona is a great place for solar panels. Having multiple avenues to achieve a common goal of reducing our oil dependence will make success easier.
- What do you want to do to help?
- I am a retired Civil Engineer (AZ DOT) with an MBA and many years of experience in project management. I am interested in solar panels (Nanosolar) and electric hybrid vehicles (Aptera). I would enjoy working in the economic and technical planing of facilities in the Phoenix area..

Arizona Congressional District 6 Virtual March Kickoff Meeting
This Saturday, Mar 28th, 4:00 PM, Discovery Park in Gilbert, Diggers Cove Ramada
Map- http://www.ci.gilbert.az.us/eservices/parks/pdf/maps/discovery0309b.pdf
There are a lot of things available in this park if you want to let the kids play during, before or after the meeting. Its right off of the loop 202, East Side, San Tan Parkway on the North side and Pecos Rd on the South side.
The Diggers Cove Ramada is the closest ramada to where Greenfield and San Tan Parkway intersect. There are 2 picnic tables and shade, bring a folding chair, would probably be more comfortable. There are facilities in the park!
We have oval Pickens Plan stickers for you this time, and maybe some more door prizes.
Hope to see you there.
Thanks,
Dave

Honorable Speaker of the House Congresswoman Pelosi,
I am an Electronic Technician Chief in the US Navy with 27 years service stationed overseas. I’m outlying an idea to assist and work with current plans for achieving energy independence. I urge you, as speaker of the house and the driving force to form the select committee on energy independence and global warming, consider for discussion and introduction into the house US Treasury Savings Bonds for Energy Independance.
In WWII America sold war bonds supporting the war effort. When young, my mother told me her primary school raised enough money through bonds to build a tank to support troops. I am impressed with the patriotism and purpose of our greatest generation that accomplished so much.
Selling energy bonds for RE (Renewable Energy) development would lower foreign oil imports and assist with the complex problem of funding. Bonds sold as “Energy S” could support new solar trough plants, “Energy W” to support wind farms, Energy “H” to support hydroelectric plants, Energy “T” to support RE transportation such as electric bullet train routes powered by RE, Energy "C" COOPS for small communities only needing a small quantity of turbines, and Energy “I” for needed infrastructure high voltage power lines to the RE site. Bonds will have the project name and include an artist’s perspective of the project and an American flag. President Obama had great success with the internet during his campaign. In a similar manner, using the internet, energy bonds could have a website listing current projects and an “electronic checkout” could purchase a bond $25 or higher. Simpler methods of payment such as “PAYPAL” and credit cards would be available and after an electronic purchase is complete a color print out of the bond is available with a follow up of the bond in the mail. The website would limit quantity of projects for each category until funding is complete. After a project becomes funded, a new project will be available. A tab on the site will show history and status of previous projects. Purchasers may take great pride in “collecting” and displaying bonds of various RE projects and participating at different levels of financial support. Solar trough plants in the multi-hundred MW size capacity with molten salt energy storage in California, Arizona, and West Texas can provide a major portion of electric needs. North Dakota has potential to support 1/3 of our nations electric needs in it’s class 4 wind zone areas. There are plenty of suitable proposed wind turbine farms now around the nation to significantly increase our RE if funded. Mid sized hydro-electric has not been used in America to it’s full potential. Following the example of our neighbor, Canada, it would provide a significant increase in percentage of electric production. Developing all three we could provide the majority of our electric and heating needs through renewable energy in a "New New Deal" fashion allowing natural gas for transportation as T. Boone Pickens is working for. Bullet train routes have proven a viable alternative to commercial domestic air service and when powered by electricity provided by RE suppliers America would be in the forefront of world technology. Example, I heard of discussion for a commuter train from Denver to Colorado Springs. Such a route built as a renewable energy project with charter requirement legally requiring to only purchase electricity from available renewable energy sources would be a model example. There are many train routes, city bus systems, and government vehicles that can be converted to run from alternative energy sources and fuels. Jobs created would bolster the economy, lower trade deficit, and strengthen national security. I would take great pride in print outs of bonds with graphics of each project I supported and many other Americans would also. The energy bonds could have tax breaks. BLM lands may be a viable place to start for some projects.
I contacted the US treasury department and was told that the marketing department for savings bonds closed several years ago. I was told there would be problems because savings bonds are at the federal level while the projects will be at the state and local level. I disagree and believe that these can easily be figured out in the way of grants to the state and local level using money from the bonds for those specific projects. I was told to check out auctions on the www.treasurydirect.gov website and found them to not apply to citizens wanting to buy savings bonds to support a cause such as energy independance. I was told by the treasury department to look into CREB (Clean Renewable Energy Bonds). I found CREB to be large scale funding that a citizen would not be able to participate in as a US Treasury Energy Independance Bond would provide. If given the tools to participate directly, the power of the citizens of the United States to help achieve energy independance could not be denied. Americans mean well and the Energy Independance Savings bond program will give citizens the power at their level to make it happen. If marketed through a web page, commercials, and to federal employees the word would get out and participation would spread like wildfire.
Mr. Paul Gipe, a resident of Bakersfield CA, an author of several books about wind energy, and recipient of multiple awards as a pioneer in the industry since the 1970's has put a letter I wrote to Senator Dorgan on this subject as well as an older letter I wrote on wind COOP in JAN07.

have access to CNG gas....Compressed Natural Gas , the super
safe natural gas and they pay only 63Cents a gallon to fill up!
My State Sen. Tom O Halleran refuses to return my calls and
emails as to WHY THIS CHEAP EASY TO GET GAS IS NOT
AVAILABLE IN ARIZONA!
How many people are aware that
42% of the GAS AND OIL STOCK IN
THIS COUNTRY IS OWNED BY TEACHERS
AND FIREFIGHTERS AND , OF COURSE,
ALL GOVT EMPLOYEES!
NO WONDER THE LIBERAL DEMOCRATS
DON'T WANT TO DRILL FOR OIL IN THE USA
AND LOWER THE PRICES....
THEY ARE ALL GETTING FILTHY RICH IN THEIR
GOVT PENSION PLANS, 401 K'S, ETC AND TO
HELL WITH THE COMMON MAN AND HIS
FAMILY!
FOLLOW THE MONEY!!!
