This Group favors the inclusion of conservation education in K-12 core curriculum; and a painless way for the Federal Government to provide State Education departments with subsidies earmarked for that purpose by ROUNDING-UP gas prices .1 of a cent.

Profile Information

Are you interested in becoming an organizer in your area?
Yes
Tell us about your experience with alternative energy:
I'm a hands-on carpenter builder who started building passive solar and earth bermed homes in 1973 (OPEC Embargo) as well as low tech geo thermal systems. I'm currently building Timber Framed homes enclosed with Structural Insulated Panel (SIPs) wall systems which use controlled harvest, renewable resource timbers and are 35-50% more energy efficient then conventional construction. Play the video on my website at: www.timberframesunlimited.com and visit my New Hampshire fabricators website to learn more about Timber Framing: www.davisframe.com .
What excites you about this campaign?
Because of his personal knowledge of the oil industry, business experience, success and visibility, T. Boone has the ability to bring this vital issue to power centers the average person can't reach. I believe he can make a difference in affecting real change in our objectives for US energy independence. He has put his money where his mouth is in Sweetwater, TX and is a genuine action figure in this vital cause.
What do you want to do to help?
We must educate consumers about simple conservation techniques and alternative energy options where the most is used; homes, transportation and industry. I believe the path to energy independence is largely an issue of educating users about these options so we can reduce consumption while creating the demand for alternative energy resources which new industries can satisfy. I would like to be part of that process of education.

NJDLD (New Jersey District Leaders Delegation) Seeks Towne Hall Assistance

Hi all...

The NJDLD (New Jersey District Leader Delegation) is discussing strategies for a Towne Hall meeting event this fall. We are reaching out to regular members and RL's who have participated in or produced these events in the past and asking for advice and information on the process. It's not evident or conclusive at this point that Boone's schedule will accomodate a personal appearance which we would prefer; but want to consider it anyway as an important community outreach for the PP obj… Continue

GREEN BANK...What does it mean?

We have heard and read recently about a proposed BILL for a government run GREEN BANK. There are a variety of opinions about it's purpose, structure and value to the objectives of Clean Energy development and Energy Independence. Some are in favor and some agree with the general idea but have a dim view of the government’s ability to manage a successful outcome.

On first reading, some, myself included, felt it demonstrate… Continue

BE 500 PEOPLE / A simple but effective VIRTUAL MARCH approach.

BE 500 PEOPLE!

The first day of the 3 day Pickens Virtual March on Washington is around the corner. Among other actions, I’m encouraging everyone to send a single eMail EVERY DAY. In political arithmetic that is counted as 500 in the minds of our elected officials.

YOU ARE 500 PEOPLE. Every eMail legislative aides receive is statistically calculated to represent 500 people in a congressional district who feel exactly the same way...even if they didn’t actually write. That’… Continue

Haven't been able to get a response from the pickens team on an idea. Maybe you have some pull some where. Assuming the new wind farm is on hold, why not setup a fund to add a windmill to an existing wind farm ? I would contribute to it. My original reason for joining was to increase the use of wind energy.

CNG Auto Insurance

I am seeking auto insurance for the dual-fuel CNG-gasoline used auto I recently purchased from the federal government through auction. My auto insurance company, 21st Century formerly AIG, says my VIN number is not listed. When I told them about the type of auto I purchased, 21st Century said they could not insure a modified auto, even though this CNG dual-fuel auto appears to have been right from the Chevrolet factory, because they would not know how to value a "modified" vehicle if it damaged. When I contacted my mother's auto insurance company, Amica, they searched three data based for the CNG dual-fuel VIN and could not find it and therefore could not insure it. Without auto insurance, I can not legally drive this vehicle and can not consume CNG as a transportation fuel.

Do you or any one in the PickenPlan organization have any direct leads to assist me in locating an insurance company that can insure this dual-fuel CNG-gasoline used auto?

Sincerely,
Robert A Evangelista

hi Jack, it's been awhile since I've been on this site. I moved recently am currently living in rural Arkansas. I've also been concentrating on my music in hopes that someday it will lead me to contacts to get my "play" going. You can check out my video's at www.youtube.com/elflive How is the pp movement going anyway? hope you're well, kris

Hi Jack,
Thanks for the kind words the other day. Weather was a bit of a problem, but there are always good things that result from any situation, such as future event info and further bonding with Alan and a contact I made with Clean Ocean Action.

Quick question: It seems that every major environmental/energy website I subscribe to has instituted an email campaign to support the Waxman bill currently in markup stages in DC. Why has PP chosen to do nothing on it? Would seem to me that another Virtual March would have been appropriate, considering the goings on with anywhere between 150 to 400 amendments being looked at by the opposition to delay the process.

Welcome back Jack. I hope things went as well as possible this weekend. I love your description of your fishing event!

I will post a couple of pictures once I get the phone's camera hooked up here with the desktop. Did any of them come through via texting yesterday? Just curious, as I never know what happens once you hit that send button.

There are 2 more events we have been invited to attend, one in Cape May and the second at Island Beach State Park. Once I have specific details I will forward on.

I have entered 34 new members into the system, with 8 more not accepted due to address/zip code only. I either will stop accepting these names and insist on email address only, or someone has to tell me how to get the ____things into the system. David is "working on it" with the "computer people". The total to input is now 21.

Be well.
