Profile Information

Are you interested in becoming an organizer in your area?

Yes

Tell us about your experience with alternative energy:

I have designed an Algal PhotoBioReactor System and on August 28, 2006 I transferred my technology to a developer of zero-carbon footprint District Energy Systems, to be powered by Algal biomass to produce Electricity and Biofuels. I believe that this technology if developed into an "Industry" in the near future, is a significant solution to alternative Energy. www.biofarmshawaii.com

What excites you about this campaign?

I see this plan as a pro-active immediate interim solution to develop and supplement an Energy Industry based on Algal Biomass.

What do you want to do to help?

Whatever I'm capable of in my capacity to promote Alternative Energy.

THE NATIONAL WATER FUND:

ALOHA ALL!

The National Water Fund is one of the better ideas I've encountered, "too often ignored" as it is one of the vital elements required for life on our Planet. I have taken the "long view" on sustainable alternative energy with my Algae Project. I've partnered with a Company having the technology in place for Net-Zero Carbon Footprint Waste Bioconversion & District Energy Systems. The sustainable BioConversion Platform converts multiple feed-stocks into clean fuel; (BioFuel Outputs;… Continue

CLEAN ENERGY: "Laws of Perpetual Motion....Addressed and Resolved."

ALOHA ALL!

MAHALO!... To the National Water Fund for all the insights they've provided.

Careful evaluation of the "Laws" reveal to me that combining and integrating the multiple technologies of: Net-zero Carbon Footprint (1.Waste BioConversion, (2.District Energy Systems, and (3.Applied Algal Phycology, that We are developing, represents an "elegant-solution" to providing a single, integrated sustainable, renewable solution to energy and environmental security issues, addressing the Laws of, a… Continue

The PickensPlan: "A Giant Stride!"

ALOHA ALL!

In my experience, the Pickens Plan is the FIRST real step, (actually a giant stride), that Boone has taken to get our Government to actually DO somthing to cut the imported "Oil-umbelicle" that is keeping US in the dark-ages.
I am honored to be associated and in accord with T. Boon and his short-term Action Plan to begin "weaning" us off foreign petroleum. I support the Plan 100%!

In the long-term, Microalgae Biomass are looking better & better for world-standard Industrial-scal… Continue

IT’S TIME FOR ACTION!

Tell’em :

YOU’RE A PICKENS PLAN VOLUNTEER FROM HAWAII.

The leadership at the SUMMIT MEETING of the National Clean Energy Project agreed that “Building” The smart grid is the first step on the road to reducing our dependence on foreign oil.

For Hawaii this means building the key element of the HCEI Agreement:
THE SUBMARINE POWER CABLE - TO GRID THE ISLANDS.

MAKE THIS PROJECT YOUR # 1 GOAL FOR 2009!

At 8:31pm on February 2, 2009, Russ H. Robinson said…: Aloha to the Hawaiian Regiment of the Pickens army!

The boss need each of us to contact our U.S. Senators and ask them to support the Pickens Plan components of the stimulus package.

Here’s some words from Boone you might consider using:

“A high percentage of our oil still comes from foreign countries. Even in December, as the economy was contracting, we imported nearly 70 percent of the oil we used and paid over $19 billion for it.

I am very interested in the aspects of The American Renewal and Reinvestment Act (H.R. 1) that include the promotion of alternative energy - wind and solar; the building out of a 21st century electrical transmission grid; and incenting trucking companies to upgrade from trucks running on foreign diesel to those running on domestic natural gas.

A Department of Energy study showed that developing our capacity to produce wind energy would not only replace 20 percent of the electricity we now produce using coal-burning plants, but would add 138,000 jobs in the first year and more than 3.4 million over a ten-year span.

Also, if we switch just 350,000 of the 6.5 million heavy trucks running on the nation's Interstate Highways to domestic natural gas from imported diesel, we could cut our oil imports by over five percent. In December alone that would have kept nearly $1 billion from being shipped off shore.

I hope you will join me in supporting these components of the Pickens Plan as H.R. 1 moves toward final passage.”

----------

Remember, whatever ill befalls the Mainland economy, worse will happen to Hawaii. If we loose the energy sector of the economy we’ll loose all of the benefits of the Industrial Revolution, and Hawaiians will once again go sailing to fish the Northwest Islands in the likes of HOKULE’A and MAKALI’I.

My friend, I would really, really like to learn more about the entire process. I am a volunteer with the Florida Agricultural Museum here in Flagler County. I would like to to propose experimenting with algae there (since there is over 400 acres). I'm thinking perhaps one of the local colleges would also like to get invloved with it. That would also be a fascinating project to show the school kids that tour the facilities.

Thank you for the the friend request.
As to the algae PhotoBioReactor system, I am fascinated by it and can't understand why we aren't doing more with it!

Thank you for noticing my page and commenting. It so happens that I'm a great believer in biomass and have considered it for EU markets and others abroad where I know the sources with the demand...

I haven't engaged in it primarily due to the need to 'sharpen the saw' in planning, organizing and producing sales. The commodity contracts I deal in take months to produce/close and my work is incredibly time consuming - yet I'm passionate about my work.

Once I complete training new traders to Virgin Moon Trading I do plan on entering biomass business development. My average work week is rarely less than 100 hours.....before any of my Pickens energies are spent!

Let's keep in touch, please by all means do freely send information on your great works and especially info through which I may be able to make a difference to your ambitions and goals.

All the best,
RoseMarie LaCoursiere

I have access to two investor groups and the assets of a failed algae to biodiesel operation that could be put in harness to develop promising technology.
