- What excites you about this campaign?
- The mainstream focus on renewable energy
- What do you want to do to help?
- get the word out about distributed renewable energy. Unlike the pickens plan (centralized power), the Patel Plan focuses on helping home owners and small businesses install their own solar panels or wind turbines and combining energy efficiency in the process to provide a maximum reduction in the energy required from the grid. Over time, a person could reach independence from the grid as they scale up their clean energy systems and continue to figure out ways to become more efficient. Empower local communities to contribute to the grid and become energy independent.
The benefits of distributed renewable energy:
1. don't have to worry about deploying transmission lines
2. empowers the people versus big energy
3. since the power does not travel far from the production to consumption, distributed renewable energy is much more efficient than centralized power
4. more secure than centralized power.

Natural Gas WILL NOT help us become energy independent
The foundation of the Pickens Plan revolves around helping America become energy independent, although is changing how we fill our our vehicles to run on Natural Gas a good idea? Will it truly help American Become energy independent?
The purpose of this post is to discuss issues I see in using natural gas as our primary source of energy for our transportation needs. Let's start with the data, I have researched to see who has the worlds natural gas reserves in the world.

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.

Thank you for all you do!
I hope you are still here, you were one of the first folks I met way back in July, when we were just a little tadpole. We have come so far.... hope you can help turn us into a shark!
Our new Congress is sworn in less than 10 days from now - they must be told loudly and clearly that we demand action to reduce our dependance on foreign oil!
WE CAN DO THIS. We need your help. THERE IS NO INFLUENCE WITHOUT NUMBERS!
Please watch the latest amazing "Boone Cam" recap:

Last night, after dissenters were removed. Lou was unanimously elected to the position of CEO of the ON-LINE NORTH AMERICAN PARTY
Anonymity to the On- Line NAP is assured under the Canadian Privacy Legislation.
Sign up here_______________________
Platform details available at www.howtoboilafrog.com (the Game). Please send us your two cents. - All ideas gratefully accepted. In Lou’s opinion, the entire world needs a NAP at this point so it can calm down, clear its head, and get started on the house-cleaning chores that are so long overdue. He takes a very down-to-pond attitude towards these things – it’s up to each of us to keep our own lily-pad clean.
Please CONGRATULATE Rhonda Brown for being invited into the 100CLUB! She is amazing. She has over 136 signatures, and going back for more. Her daughter will also have 100 before the election, too! How lucky we are to have Rhonda on our team.
Thanks

It is an incredible experience feeling the power of this machine. There are some initial stats from that partial machine at www.myspace.com/theadamman1 in my blog 'output data'. Keep in mind that those numbers are from a machine that had a swept area of about 450 square feet. Even a 20kw traditional windmill has over 700. There is enormous power capability in these designs and I am desperate to get it some attention. Adam

I just found out about the Picken's Plan on the Presidential Debates and formed a group on this website titled U.S. Real Estate Investors for Renewable Energy and the Picken's Plan based in Philadelphia, PA. Please be one of the first to join. I would enjoy hearing more about your company and we are currently considering various strategic alliances with manufacturers and consulting companies in the renewable energy industry, such as solar. I can be reached through this site or by our website: www.americanlandrecycling.com.
