- I have an agenda.....
My life's goal is to have all residential property co-generating electricity in North America by 2025. Little know fact it's only 25% of entire North American Grid Consumption.
This is attainable we have the technology and the man-power.....
We must start now!!!
Time for talk is over.....
I have introduced the Boldest Solar/Housing Initiative yet
To date…
Entire subdivisions of low-cost Modulars with little to no electric bill that retail from $79,900 to $149,900 680sq 2/1 to 1380sq 3/2
Meets the need for low-cost housing and helps over Stressed Grid during PEAK_USAGE hrs. As these subdivisions go on-line they will act as virtual mini-generating stations.
As well as helps the environment…
win-win-win.
It is the short term solution to a long term problem.......
Now that I relocated to South Georgia....
it is time to enlist All the help with this I can get.
I need more R & D with my new patent Idea an will be asking for Ga Tech's help.....with the SOLAR POWERED RECIRCULATOR GENERATOR which will drive the cost of production down by almost 60%.
And will also be going back to Washington DC in this election year to demand more from our "so called elected or soon-to-be-elected officials".
I am in negotiations with Roger Little of Spire Solar in Mass to build a 100mw manufacturing plant in Liberty County Ga.
My plan is simple mix Roger's little assembly line with Rapid Modular’s walling panels to produce under one roof the
structures of the future.
By building our own PV and being the one of only 2 proposed PV plants in the entire southeast US. We will capture this market in FL, GA, AL, and SC, NC. Simply by cutting down on the cost of shipping we will be the viable option for all of the Solar Retailers in the Region.

Kay Shoemaker said… - Hey JD. I'm glad you are doing this. I live in Savannah and I believe it is an ideal city to build a community of solarized homes that sell energy back to the grid. I have been wanting to solarize our home for years, but we can't afford it. I would love to get involved with you and your project. I have a lot of ideas, good ones I think, to build this dream. I recently saw something on the Science Channel about roofing tiles that were little solar collectors. Do you know anything about that? Anyway, please get in touch with me. I am seriously interested in what you are doing, and I want to be involved on a pretty deep level, if possible. I sent you an email last week after I signed up, so you should have my email address.

Tim Heming said… - Hi, see that you left a note for Boone. A year ago I was all for his plan, till I started researching it. You are right he won't answear, remember its his way or the hi-way. I like what you talk about with a solar plan. One good thing about this pickens plan site, is that I have read some interesting idea's on energy. Yes we have to get off our dependence of foriegn oil, but with boone's plan is it just shifting the wealth from one person or company to another? They don't want to here plans on homes supplying its own energy needs with solar and wind power, because there is no money in it for the power or gas companies. Sort of like a drug dealer telling a junkie to go straight. If you could send me information on solar pv systems, I would appreciate it. I will be building an off grid system, and solar is going to be one of the main components.

Katheryne Smith said… - JD would you happen to know who at Pickens Plan will take a proposal for an energy project? I had a contact who I was getting ready to submit my project to and she left after the elections. She said to look for an online coordinator, but I am not on here very much and I thought you might direct me to someone if you know who that might be. Thank you JD. Katheryne

Michael Shawn Kendall said… - Hi JD, Here 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 in Washington DC, I've faxed and emailed many in Congress/Senate already and need others to do the same. 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.

Earle U. Scharff III said… - I like your Initiative. So Your low cost housing subdivisions would all use Solar Power and they would produce even more electricity than they need and that could go back into the grid? I am an optometrist and do not know the jargon. so please educate me. What is a Solar Powered Recirculator Generator?
I assume PV stands for photovoltaic. Please explain to me what you are trying to build or manufacure. I think you want to produce solar panels Is tthat correct?
I also like the video you posted regarding the Water Engine for Cars That was pretty amazing,
Thanks again and help me get educated on Alternative energy.
My 1st goal is to bring people together in my state to discuss Altrernative Energy and the Pickens Plan . Then 2nd is to help to make sure that the right policies are in place to help people get jobs in RI which are related to Alternative energy. We are a small state and could be an inubator of good ideas for the nation possibly.
However It seems like there are many people with very good Ideas such as your self, Faye from Florida who is involved in FARE and organizing a conference, and John who built the energy efficient house here.
Looking forward to communicating with you in the future.
Earle
