Natural Gas Fueling Station Directory

What we need is a National and Global Directory of all fueling stations that could be made available to everyone. If you have a list or information about an NG fueling location, let's all share it. I'll compile it and create a PDF formatted handout.

Profile Information

Are you interested in becoming an organizer in your area?

Yes

Tell us about your experience with alternative energy:

Professional Electrical Engineer with over 25 years of distribution system design and construction experience. I also have over 10 years of GIS and mapping experience. Have worked on wind power and solar panels installation before but only on a limited basis. I am eager to learn more on these subjects. Currently, I am devoting most of my time on humanitarian non-profit organization I founded in the Philippines (http://leapforlife.ning.com) and just recently started experimenting on 'water to fuel' for vehicles.

What excites you about this campaign?

We are in a very difficult and serious situation. Old and New leaderships in Washington have promised many propositions regarding achieving energy independence. But none has really explained in enough details how they go about solving it. None has been achieved to date. This election has fired up the people of America to be involved and engaged into action.

What do you want to do to help?

Anything technically related or simply a local organizer to promote the Pickens Plan or any viable Alternative Energy Plan.

At 9:26pm on January 28, 2009, Michael Shawn Kendall said…: Hi Gilbert, If you agree with this plan please consider passing to other people in your district as it will be a great tool to get funding for PickensPlan projects. This is a way to help and give tools to all of us for getting more RE projects started. I have been pushing for the sell of US Treasury "Energy Independence Savings Bonds". Savings bonds are normally purchased in $25 increments. This gives a way for just about any American to tighten their belts just a bit by skipping a meal at McDonalds or Pizza Hut and buying a RE savings bond to support a project. I need help pushing this project, I've faxed and emailed many in Congress/Senate already. My email is ke6cvh@yahoo.com. Here is a copy of a fax sent to Nancy Pelosi yesterday:
27FEB09

Honorable Speaker of the House Congresswoman Pelosi,

I am an Electronic Technician Chief in the US Navy with 27 years service stationed overseas. I’m outlying an idea to assist and work with current plans for achieving energy independence. I urge you, as speaker of the house and the driving force to form the select committee on energy independence and global warming, consider for discussion and introduction into the house US Treasury Savings Bonds for Energy Independance.
In WWII America sold war bonds supporting the war effort. When young, my mother told me her primary school raised enough money through bonds to build a tank to support troops. I am impressed with the patriotism and purpose of our greatest generation that accomplished so much.

Selling energy bonds for RE (Renewable Energy) development would lower foreign oil imports and assist with the complex problem of funding. Bonds sold as “Energy S” could support new solar trough plants, “Energy W” to support wind farms, Energy “H” to support hydroelectric plants, Energy “T” to support RE transportation such as electric bullet train routes powered by RE, Energy "C" COOPS for small communities only needing a small quantity of turbines, and Energy “I” for needed infrastructure high voltage power lines to the RE site. Bonds will have the project name and include an artist’s perspective of the project and an American flag. President Obama had great success with the internet during his campaign. In a similar manner, using the internet, energy bonds could have a website listing current projects and an “electronic checkout” could purchase a bond $25 or higher. Simpler methods of payment such as “PAYPAL” and credit cards would be available and after an electronic purchase is complete a color print out of the bond is available with a follow up of the bond in the mail. The website would limit quantity of projects for each category until funding is complete. After a project becomes funded, a new project will be available. A tab on the site will show history and status of previous projects. Purchasers may take great pride in “collecting” and displaying bonds of various RE projects and participating at different levels of financial support. Solar trough plants in the multi-hundred MW size capacity with molten salt energy storage in California, Arizona, and West Texas can provide a major portion of electric needs. North Dakota has potential to support 1/3 of our nations electric needs in it’s class 4 wind zone areas. There are plenty of suitable proposed wind turbine farms now around the nation to significantly increase our RE if funded. Mid sized hydro-electric has not been used in America to it’s full potential. Following the example of our neighbor, Canada, it would provide a significant increase in percentage of electric production. Developing all three we could provide the majority of our electric and heating needs through renewable energy in a "New New Deal" fashion allowing natural gas for transportation as T. Boone Pickens is working for. Bullet train routes have proven a viable alternative to commercial domestic air service and when powered by electricity provided by RE suppliers America would be in the forefront of world technology. Example, I heard of discussion for a commuter train from Denver to Colorado Springs. Such a route built as a renewable energy project with charter requirement legally requiring to only purchase electricity from available renewable energy sources would be a model example. There are many train routes, city bus systems, and government vehicles that can be converted to run from alternative energy sources and fuels. Jobs created would bolster the economy, lower trade deficit, and strengthen national security. I would take great pride in print outs of bonds with graphics of each project I supported and many other Americans would also. The energy bonds could have tax breaks. BLM lands may be a viable place to start for some projects.

I contacted the US treasury department and was told that the marketing department for savings bonds closed several years ago. I was told there would be problems because savings bonds are at the federal level while the projects will be at the state and local level. I disagree and believe that these can easily be figured out in the way of grants to the state and local level using money from the bonds for those specific projects. I was told to check out auctions on the www.treasurydirect.gov website and found them to not apply to citizens wanting to buy savings bonds to support a cause such as energy independance. I was told by the treasury department to look into CREB (Clean Renewable Energy Bonds). I found CREB to be large scale funding that a citizen would not be able to participate in as a US Treasury Energy Independance Bond would provide. If given the tools to participate directly, the power of the citizens of the United States to help achieve energy independance could not be denied. Americans mean well and the Energy Independance Savings bond program will give citizens the power at their level to make it happen. If marketed through a web page, commercials, and to federal employees the word would get out and participation would spread like wildfire.

Mr. Paul Gipe, a resident of Bakersfield CA, an author of several books about wind energy, and recipient of multiple awards as a pioneer in the industry since the 1970's has put a letter I wrote to Senator Dorgan on this subject as well as an older letter I wrote on wind COOP in JAN07.

BTW the water cell mostly DOES NOT WORK. More energy in than out. The commercial way of producing hydrogen is to strip the Carbon atom from Methane since it yeilds four Hydrogens for each breakup. The Mythbusters did a series on it using VERY EXACT directions and never got one unit to even come close to generating enough energy to power itself much less a car.

Jeff is VP of business development for Mariah Power (google Mariah Power, Reno) There small wind turbine can be an complimentary adjunct to the large wind turbines for homes and small businesses. There is no electrical grid problem associated with the small wind turbines.

At 9:11am on December 1, 2008, Gilbert B. Dalit, PE said…: The end game in a bigger context is creating jobs and economic recovery. This is what this Alternative Energy is all about. The proposed $150B by the Obama-Biden Energy Plan should include direct assistance to small businesses and individual consultants who are in support of the PickensPlan. President -elect Obama has made several references to his talks with Boone Pickens regarding the PickensPlan. So at least our voice is being heard and hopefully considered. In my opinion, we need to focus our attention first on transportation as it relates to alternative fuels.

At 8:48am on December 1, 2008, Gilbert B. Dalit, PE said…: Supporting and making existing companies and organizations grow and prosper is the best place for all of us to start. If we can get enough of these existing vehicles that we personally own converted, we will have accomplished something substantial. It will hopefully create jobs and opportunities for these companies as well as save fuel cost to the car owners.

At 10:56am on November 30, 2008, Tai Robinson said…: Gilbert, for lack of a better term, most people call these fuel system upgrades "conversions" we are not converting the engine though unless we start with a diesle engien and add spark plugs to allow the use of gaseous fuels without a baseline fuel for ignition. So, we install aftermarket fuel system upgrades and we provid ethe technician training for peoepl to install our sytems. WE offer franchising of our American Fuel Vehicles and REfuel Centers. We offer the complete package and are end goal is mass prodcution, on the assembly line of multi-fuel vehilces, designed and built for multi-fuels.

We are the only CNG upfitters that are members of the Society of Automotive Engineeers. This is our life, we are doing it and we are looking to expand to help more people chosse the clenaerr, safer, local fuels for transportation requirements.

Thank You!

It's an interesting outline - and presumably you have a brief introduction as to the point of the business plan. In any case, I wonder why you posted it to my page - and not here (in a blog for example).
