Please – this is not a sales pitch, but an opportunity to get involved in the greening of America. So if you have friends or relatives in the Anaheim area, please take the time to let them know of this message.
I'll keep you in the loop about updates/event. If you are interested in helping update the CA-50 page and get some more activity going, just let me know and we can discuss.
Things have been pretty quiet with our leaders and with the group overall. We could use some new 'life' in the CA-50 group.

Hi Denis!
Nice comment on Boone's page. We are so lucky to have him originating and leading this historical effort.
Boone says that Obama is intent on getting us 100% off of foreign oil - WE MUST give the new President the "muscle" he needs to show Congress the American people are squarely in support of this and will accept nothing less. PLEASE get signatures of support from your congressional district. Check in with your Areo Organizer and offer to help! WE must get this done before Inauguration Day and give Obama the support he neds to ccomplish this lofty goal.
The renewable energy will come from a Duke Energy wind farm under construction in Notrees, Texas, and is expected to begin producing electricity for Wal-Mart by April of 2009.
Hi Dennis! I want to let you know about a new San Diego based company called We Can Power The World! They are doing all kinds really awesome renewable energy projects. I just started a group on this site but you should also check out their webpage! http://push.pickensplan.com/group/wecanpowertheworld

Welcome and THANK YOU for joining Pickens Plan. We need your help.
There is a perfect storm of events happening right now that create the possibility of a paradigm shift that is urgently needed. We have an angry citizenry due to pain at the pump, a presidential election on the horizon, and a man with a plan to dramatically and imminently reduce our dependance on foreign oil, and provide a bridge to future solutions, who has the resources, contacts, knowledge, wealth and "will" to get it done.
Please share this plan with your circle of friends, family and associates. Urge them to JOIN. As you know, it is simply like signing a petition. With large numbers of supporters, we can put pressure to bear on Congress to incentivize alternative and renewable energies, and insure that our future president will be a leader that will push for domestic energy solutions. JFK once said. "in the next 10 years we will put a man on the moon". He got it done. We need that kind of leadership on energy.
Time is of the essence. If gas prices retreat the public will forget the pain, and our moment may be lost. How frightening to be looking back and apologizing to our children that we could not get this done when we had the chance.

Kim

'Green-collar' jobs a growth area, U.S. group says
Companies are stepping up their environmental initiatives, and that may mean a boom in "green-collar" jobs.
A recent forecast by the American Solar Energy Society found that renewable energy and energy-efficient industries were responsible for the creation of nearly 8.5 million jobs in 2006, and by 2030 that number is expected to reach 40 million.
Colleges and universities are taking notice, according to Challenger, Gray & Christmas Inc., a job placement consulting group.
Many have introduced specialized degree programs in eco-commerce, environmental accounting, green and social marketing, and ecological economics.
"The demand for 'green-collar' jobs is really exploding, especially as the cost of energy continues to climb," said John Challenger, the group's chief executive. "Students need to start thinking about developing skills that will give them an edge for these types of careers that did not even exist until recently."
Popular jobs include urban planners, forestry professionals and environmental lawyers, Challenger said. There is also a growing demand for architects and engineers with Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification from the U.S. Green Building Council, a Washington, D.C.-based non-profit.
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:
Alternative Energy has been a passion of mind all my life.

Converting current cars on the road to CNG.
What do you want to do to help?
I would like to set up centers to convert car on the road today to CNG. We need Federal and California Legislation to make CNG conversion kit reasonalble priced.
