Are you interested in becoming an organizer in your area?

Yes

Tell us about your experience with alternative energy:

In early 2007, I tried to get State of Maryland to lend me one of 6 anemometers the state has funded to empirically determine if a location is a good source of wind power. Unfortunately, at the time, too much bureaucracy to make the program effective. I have since been looking into solar and other wind alternatives for our home. My intent is to eventually make our home a residential example for alternative energy.

What excites you about this campaign?

This has been a long time coming and the fact that one of the "godfathers" of oil is pushing it makes it even more appealing.

What do you want to do to help?

I believe I can help by using my leadership, managerial and organizational skills to support the effort. I just need to figure out how and where.

TRANSPORTATION is the master key to basic survival, and the cornerstone of the economy. We all know that transportation presently depends on oil production, and oil production is peaking. We must focus first on transportation – it is the highest priority. The PickensPlan to transition vehicles to natural gas is a great start toward 100% energy independence, but is a stop-gap measure till we can transition to all electric transportation. Electric energy is strained without adding transportation demands; so we must implement drastic efficiency improvement.
Evacuated Tube Transport (ETT) is a patented technology where travel occurs without air friction or rolling resistance (like “Space Travel on Earth”); ETT can accomplish 50 times more transportation per kWh (or carbon credit) than electric cars or trains. ETT is silent, low cost, safe, faster than jets, and is electric so it can make maximum use of wind or PV power. I invite you to visit my page to learn more about ETT
