Happy Thanksgiving!
Hi All,
Here's a bit of history for you. George Washington created a first national day of Thanksgiving in 1789. I though you might enjoy reading his Proclamation of National Thanksgiving on this special day (below).
Happy Thanksgiving!
Yours in energy security and independence,
James Mayer

Please visit www.FAREnergy.org - The Florida Alliance for Renewable Energy would like to make Florida a leader in solar energy. Since 1991, Germany, Spain, Denmark, and over 40 other nations, states, and provinces, have pioneered legislation that have proven to promote the fastest, cheapest, and widest growth of renewable energy. In many of these countries these policies are called "Feed-In Tariffs" (FITs). Producers of renewable energy are paid a premium rate or "tariff" for each kilowatt of energy they "feed into" the grid. Here in North America FITs are being called, "Renewable Energy Payments" (REPs). The name has changed but the fundamental principles of these policies stay the same:Everyone who produces renewable energy is guaranteed that they can connect to the power grid and sell their energy to their utility company. There is no limit to the amount of renewable energy that can be sold to utility companies.
Utility companies sign 15-20 year contracts with all their renewable energy producers. All contracts are transparent and open for inspection.
The contracts include long-term agreed upon prices that the utility companies will pay for the energy they buy. The prices are set high enough to be an incentive to new producers and for existing producers to expand their production capacities. Prices vary according to the source of the energy (i.e, sun, wind, water, bio-mass, etc.) and the size of the energy-producing installation.
The utility companies can recoup their increased costs of paying higher prices for renewable energy by spreading these costs among all their customers.
An Independent Review Board is established by the government that periodically sets the prices and terms for new contracts.
How do REPs work?
Renewable Energy Payments are the mechanisms or instruments at the heart of specific state, provincial or national renewable energy policies. REPs are incentives for homeowners, farmers, businesses, etc., to become producers of renewable energy, or to increase their production of renewable energy. As such, they increase our overall production and use of renewable energy, and decrease our consumption and burning of fossil fuels.
Thank you! Happy Holidays!

Can you help with a petition?
Welcome to an exciting time at Pickens Plan! We have grown to almost 1.4 million suporters since June. There are now less than 65 days until Inauguration Day.
The Senate's "Gang of 20" and Thomas Friedman, celebrated columnist and author, have all stated that the only way to get the action we need on energy is to build this grass roots effort to un-ignorable heights. (Read at DAILY PICKENS)
Many hands make light work. Please download the petition and get 10 signed pledges faxed in asap. More if you can. It is easy, Boone has done the hard work already. We need to spread the word AND take names.
1. Download the pledge/petition :
http://media.pickensplan.com/downloads/PP/pollingsignupsheet.pdf
2. get them signed
3. fax them in to the 888# at the bottom of the pledge, asap.
Gratefully
Kim

Even when I am busy I run into people. If you are able to get 10 a week, you can still be part of the 100CLUB by Inauguration Day! We would be honored to have you in the 100CLUB.
We need millions to get clout we need as a grass roots organization! PLease let me know how it goes!
BEST to you in yor travels,
Kim
We are a voluntary community of individuals who are placing our combined support behind T. Boone Pickens and his efforts to send our government a clear (heard) message that we must reduce our nation’s dependence on foreign oil through the use of all domestic energy alternatives. This site is a place to interact with fellow Pickens Plan supporters, keep up with events and opportunities to help get more involvement.
On the home page, click on Daily Pickens to hear the latest from Boone.
We need to Push.PickensPlan.com – or “Push” as we like to call it.
Our future really does depend on us at this point in time!
If not now, WHEN? If not you, WHO?
Look up your regional leader. Also, Click on (Group) Guides and materials.
If able, Check out cafepress.com for more advertizing material.
Again Welcome; Tom
I am proud to put my efforts towards this cause.
Well as they say (the large lady voiced the end). Neither candidate openly gave his support outright for our plan. Both new about it and to a degree felt the intense support behind it. It goes back to another old saying, on the political platform be careful how far you put your foot in the door.
Keep in mind As Sara Lee tells us (you cannot please all the people all the time).
Thanks for the friend. Can you help with a petition today? We must get our numbers up - less than 60 days until Inauguration Day! I look forward to hearing from you!
Best
Kim
Always looking for new opportunities!

P.S. Google Samso, Denmark and Freiburg, Germany (The Solar Village) to see 2 great examples of what is being done in Europe.
