Fran,
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 drastically improve efficiency .
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
Hi Fran,
Here is a link fromthe Weather Channel called Wild Catting the WInd - that is very informative. It shows how much the ecconomy has changed from the turbine growth here.
I also have a friend who is working with the University of New Mexico on Algae Biofuels and I think it is an excellent resource too. The thing about this movement is - it will open the doors for all renewables... wind is only the start.
If we stay invovled and active - I think if we sit back and think - someone else will do it, things will go back to the way they were. I would say invite your friends to join... and stay in touch with the Pickens site to keep informed.
