That's good, but has Senator Inhofe submitted the bill with a House sponsor to remove the certification requirements on CNG conversion kits?
Welcome to the Oklahoma 1st Congressional District Group for the New Energy Army! If you live in OK-01, please join us to learn more about Pickens Plan
events and activities taking place in our District.
Hi Mary:
I still contend the certification requirement on CNG conversion kits must be removed or simplified. Senator Inhofe's D.C. staff person advised they plan to resubmit the bill that would address the problem. However, last year they had no Ho…

- 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:
- Conducted CNG demonstration program with fleet vehicles in the early 1980's. Vehicles included police cars, refuse collection trucks, and other fleet vehicles. Also, explored using methane has recovered from anaerobic digesters at wastewater treatement facilities to fuel electricity generators.
- What excites you about this campaign?
- CNG is the most viable alternative fuel for the near term, since the distribution system is already in place, the technology is proven, CNG is much cleaner burning, and it's also much less expensive.
- What do you want to do to help?
- Encourage conversion of existing gasoline-powered vehicles to CNG. The current EPA requirement for vehicles to be "certified" for conversion is unnecessary, expensive, and an enormous barrier to widespread use of CNG.

I also suggest we solicit Congressman John Sullivan to sponsor it in the house. He has already signed the Pledge, and is accessible.

- Hi Gary,
I just reviewed the bill. So are you telling me it is stuck in the Finance Committe? If so I suggest you post a request to all PPlan Groups for CNG, or Alternative Fuels. I would insert a link to the bill and the Finance Committed. Call me and I can talk you thru posting a link my number is on my company website Design Your Site.
Kindest Regards
Mary

Merry Christmas Gary,
This year I have helped so many members learn about personal home energy plans. It's all about power use, conservation, and home power generation, things I have been doing at my residence to lower my energy costs. Send me a friend request a to add me Gary, I'd be honored to have you as a friend here.
BTW, oklahoma: I just posted an article about Home Wind Systems in oklahoma. Your state's representatives, governor, and public utility commission officials are not in your corner with this "soft policy" on Net Metering. Instead they have the tables turned against green power for businesses and homeowners. You should read that article, important.

Hello Gary, These new roof mounting residential wind turbine kits shipping now. The kits are attractive, sleek, well designed to install as a home appliance on the roof, much like an antennae or satellite dish. They are as easy to install as other home appliances, like dishwasher, etc. You can now begin a personal energy plan. These systems are inexpensive, easy to install, scaleable.
Your Wind blows stronger in the winter, Your Sun shines stronger in the summer months. This hybrid wind/solar system combines these cycles to give a more even flow of energy year round. This homeowner sized wind/solar system provides free power for your home. Many customers have found it easy to become customer/dealers of our kits. Customers can become a dealer with no further investment, they see quickly how people are easy to get interested.
I have used the same systems save money on my electricity costs and Gary, you can too. Your local wind resources are so good in Oklahoma. Please see these windmaps at the link below and pinpoint what number your area is in. Zone 2 is OK, anything over 2 is (very) good. First double check your wind resources from the map and links below.

Dianna Brown said… - Welcome and THANK YOU for joining Pickens Plan. Here is how you can help.
EMAIL A LETTER TO YOUR REPRESENTATIVES
the creators of this site have given us the ability, with little effort, to send a letter to our Representatives in Washington and Governor, too. PLEASE GO TO "THE PLEDGE" (at the very top of this page on the blue header). On the top of the pledge page there are three rectangular buttons- two blue, and ONE RED BUTTON, that reads "CONTACT CONGRESS". Fill in the short, standard form. Done!
YOU CAN DOWNLOAD THE PLEDGE, get them signed and faxed back to Boone. This is how we build our numbers fast! Be a leader, be a part of the "100 CLUB", by faxing in 100 signed pledges. Let me know when you are done and I will add you to the list.
YOU CAN HELP BY BRINGING 5 FOLKS TO JOIN the site today, so that we can build a voice big enough that Congress will finally have to listen to us, instead of the lobbyists and special interests, who will certainly try to derail this historic effort.
THERE IS NO TIME TO DELAY
…to wait and see…or to see if someone else will step up to the plate. It is time for US to roll up our sleeves and go to work. Right now momentum is working in our favor, but if gas prices retreat, the public will forget the pain, and our moment may be lost.
FOR MORE INFORMATION
Check out Pickens "August Call to Action"- for a course of action! Here is an informative video "Topeka, Kansas Town Hall Meeting": http://www.pickensplan.com/news/2008/08/04/video-of-the-topeka-town-hall
PERSONAL ACTION OPTIONS
We need to do more than “preach to the choir”. Sharing ideas with each other is encouraging but that will not 1) increase our membership nor 2) influence public policy. If you know someone in the press or someone who blogs - get them to cover this. Ask those in the public eye to support this plan.
A GROUP FOR EVERYONE
Check out the many groups for Solar, CNG, your area, etc. Connect, learn and share. We grow stronger with your input. If you don't see a group that speaks to your interest, then start a group of your own.
Last but not least! We could use some new Welcome Wagon “drivers”! It is important that we greet each new member of Pickens Plan and let him or her know what can be done immediately. If you have some free time during the day, let me know and I will send you explicit instructions!
PLEASE feel free to FRIEND ME so we can keep in touch.
Thanks again for joining this historical effort. WE CAN DO THIS!
Warm regards,
Dianna Brown
