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:
I am happy to see people beginning to invest in solar panels around my neighborhood and the bay area, but it is too bad that it has taken so long since its introduction in the 70s for it to become widely accepted. In 1985 as an undergraduate at the University of Pennsylvania, I wrote a research paper about wind energy as a possible source of alternative energy, centering on the Altamont Pass windfarm. My professor, who had helped put together the ENIAC computer, was disbelieving that the technology was actually being used, and I had to tell him that yes, I had seen it with my own eyes. Maybe he was prompted to study the field himself, but I cannot say whether he pursued the idea.
What excites you about this campaign?
It is far reaching and proposes a practical way to provide a significant amount of energy nationwide through clean sources. It can be supplemented by wind farms offshore, to provide twice as much energy, too. It also promotes cleaner running automobiles, which is critical for both fuel economy and a healthier, sustainable environment. Some may disagree, but I like the fact that an "oilman" who knows the energy field and knows business, is putting his vision and resources behind this, because I think that that kind of entrepreneurial spirit is what is needed to spur on such a major change and see it succeed.
What do you want to do to help?
I am happy to help with advocacy with my representative leaders in Washington, and to help raise awareness in my community.

Microbes created to produce biodiesel fuel

A collaboration led by researchers with the U.S. Department of Energy’s Joint BioEnergy Institute (JBEI) has developed a microbe that can produce an advanced

biofuel directly from biomass. Deploying the tools of synthetic

biology, the JBEI researchers engineered a strain of Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacteria to produce biodiesel fuel and other important chemicals derived from fatty…

Gas prices go up, down, then back up again, but Bill Segraves doesn't care.



Most days he ignores the truck and two gas-guzzling Cadillacs in his Pleasant Hill driveway and takes his all-electric GEM to work, where he simply plugs it into the wall outlet to recharge.



He dreams of… Continue

Mr. Debra as far as american car companies is there info on how to contact them via email? We as members can flood their message and contact boards with questions and comments. Once they realize what americans really want they can rightfully adjust and act accordingly.

Sorry for the long delay in getting back to you. The Points system in California and MAss. is based upon a "fleet' rating for a large volume car manufacturer. In order to be allowed to sell higher polluting vehicles in great number, the manufacturer must build and sell in the state a minimum number of extremely low polluting vehicles, thereby "averaging" out the emissions across the models offered. The State's have developed a points system for the differing levels of emissions, more points for low emissions, so the manufacturer gets a pile a points and "spends" them on selling high polluters. Essentially the GX is sold at a loss in order to sell Honda SUV's and Minivans...

The Inhofe bill has more to do with the conversions, the Emanuel Bill is more on the infrastructure and manufacturing of new vehicles.

Hi Debra,

We all share the same goal; to rid ourselves of foreign oil and clean up our environment for our children and grandchildren. Wind energy is a viable alternative. Some of us have a different ideas of what we can do for immediate relief.

Check out our group "Live Carbon Free" and see how we are promoting conservation and environmental stewardship as the bridge to future energy developments. Regardless of what we do, it will take some time to implement on a significant scale. For immediate results we can make a huge difference by conserving what we have.

We would like for you to join our group and value your input. Feel free to add me as a friend.
