Have you seen T. boones AUTO MATIC system to send
e-mail to your rep. You type in a few key strokes and
it auto adresses the e-mail to all your reps and the GOV.
of your state based on zip code. Has a sugested draft of a letter to send. NEVER EASYER. Spread the word to click on the ACTION CENTER at the main web site.
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.

Debra,
With ETT, travel in car sized, magnetically levitated vehicles, takes place in tubes that have virtually all the air permanently removed, so ETT is like "space travel on earth" (tm). Since the ETT vehicles weigh less than 1/100th as much as locomotives, the infrastructure costs are less than 1/10th the cost of HSR, and under 1/4th the cost of freeways.
ETT is faster than jets, yet requires 1/50th as much energy as electric cars or electric trains. There is much more info on the et3 website
Thank you for your many comments on the "We are TRANSPORTATION dependent -- not oil dependent." thread. I hope you visit my page and the ETT group to learn more about how ETT offers everything you claim to desire about trains, AND uses 1/50th as much energy, and can be built for less than 1/10th the cost.
I am much older than you and have been through this three or four times. Alternatives are a piece of the puzzle but only a small player in the short run. Oil will be prime for the next ten to twenty years and then start to be replaced with new technologies. I will electric motor was invented steam engines and belt/pulley system provided the power for industry. How long di it take to change over to the superior electric motor? Would you believe 50 years. (source Stanford University economics department white paper)
circa 1960?
The point being we have so much invested in the gasoline transportation system it will take many years to convert to a new paradigm. The poor can not afford new cars and they must get to their jobs. All worker can not sell their house and move to bike distance form their jobs. It would take huge displacements of people to use the European design of large urban cities and train systems. America has proved the majority does not like bus/train transportation because unlike Europe it is a long distance from New York city to Los Angles so air travel is available to even cities with 10,000 population.
I support development of "all" forms of energy but am realistic oil/gas/coal will be a big part for a long time. The quicker we build a few hundred nuclear plants the quicker we can get off oil.
