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
I'm not a billionaire who can finance a wind farm... I live in an apartment, so I cant put up solar panels... I cant quite afford a new, more efficient car, and I'm a professional musician, so public transportation is tough (try loading a drumset into a bus or train... or on the back of a bike... )
Anyway, I've been doing a ton of reading on how we can ease our dependance on foreign oil just by using less energy (and therefore consuming less oil) at an individual level.
I think we are all faced with hundreds of decisions every day... making simple choices can lower our electric bill, raise our gas mileage, and contribute to a healthier lifestyle... if you have a minute, check out this blog entry i put up http://push.pickensplan.com/forum/topic/show?id=2187034%3ATopic%3A193424 and let me know what you think.
