Are you interested in becoming an organizer in your area?

Tell us about your experience with alternative energy:

I am really supportive of moving to alternative sustainable energy sources. However the shift from an emphasis on fossil fuels requires a paradigm shift in our thinking as a nation that it seems such a daunting process, particularly given the powerful influence of these industries.

What excites you about this campaign?

It comes at a time when there has been a wake-up call that reliance on oil weakens us both politically and economically and is not sustainable over the long-term without putting us at the mercy of foreign influences. It is a common sense approach to a complex problem and offers some solutions without destroying our environment.

What do you want to do to help?

I'm not sure at this point but I would like to be kept informed

Welcome and THANK YOU for joining Pickens Plan. We need your help.

There is a perfect storm of events happening right now that create the possibility of a paradigm shift that is urgently needed. We have an angry citizenry due to pain at the pump, a presidential election on the horizon, and a man with a plan to dramatically and imminently reduce our dependance on foreign oil, and provide a bridge to future solutions, who has the resources, contacts, knowledge, wealth and "will" to get it done.

Please share this plan with your circle of friends, family and associates. Urge them to JOIN. As you know, it is simply like signing a petition. With large numbers of supporters, we can put pressure to bear on Congress to incentivize alternative and renewable energies, and insure that our future president will be a leader that will push for domestic energy solutions. JFK once said. "in the next 10 years we will put a man on the moon". He got it done. We need that kind of leadership on energy.

Time is of the essence. If gas prices retreat the public will forget the pain, and our moment may be lost. How frightening to be looking back and apologizing to our children that we could not get this done when we had the chance.
