Profile Information

Are you interested in becoming an organizer in your area?: Yes

Tell us about your experience with alternative energy:: Read about it and supported for years. As a kid, folded up newspapers to fill gaps in window frames to block winter winds.

About 25 years ago, our utility, Snohomish County Public Utility District, offered a rebate plan for energy conservation. I followed the plan, built inside storm windows from clear vinyl and aluminum window screen frames, caulked window and door frames, added insulation in the attic, added a "redirect box" in dryer exhaust to put warm air back into home to use "waste heat" in winter, all from a local home inprovement store (Fred Meyer). Cost, less than $500, a loan from the PUD. Rebates paid it off in 3 years! My electric bill since then has been about half what my neighbors pay.

Became an Independent Ecopreneur with CitizenRE over a year ago, to promote solar energy installations. Attended Solar Energy local fair for 2 years. At the July event, over 25 solar companies and organizations had booths and classes, and 5 electric cars were shown. Participated in local PUD meetings on alternative energy sources. Plan to renovate local commercial buildings and include solar, wind, etc. in them. Attended recent Green Building seminar at local real estate investor's association.

What excites you about this campaign?: Proposes solutions instead of just complaining about the problem.

What do you want to do to help?: Continue to promote solar and wind energy to elected officials, builders, real estate investors. Promote PP to others by internet and word-of-mouth.
Promote a combination of alternative renewable energy sources, solar, wind, biodiesel, biogas, geothermal and microhydro.

Biplane is a 1940 Waco UPF-7 from www.OldeThymeAviation.com, Seattle

Took photos at Museum of Flight, Boeing Field. You could fly as a passenger. Beautifully restored!

Stored energy for wind power, etc

Great article on new technology to use with wind, solar, other variable alternative energy.

What's going on in our area? Anything coming up? Let me know I'd like to be more locally active.
We've started a PETITION asking President Obama and Congress to allow more of us the "hoop up" to the grid.
I'd appreciate it if you would go look at it and sign it, click on the link above, I've also made a redirect so it's easier to tell people in person, www.pacificsunlight.net

Thanks Jay
Dan

Start your own list. 4. Contact our office holders, ask if on board. One primary issue is the expiring tax credit on Dec. 31. 4. Find and go to local events on this issue. Take photos and videos, do press releases, write letters to editors. 5. Contact local organizations and volunteer-network, network, network! (good for business, too) 6. Contact every local company (solar, wind, biofuel etc. in yellow pages) to find out what they do, and are willing to do.
7. Congratulate yourself on your accomplishments!
How do you think I got to introduce Gov. Gregoire to the PickensPlan? Hope this helps, Jay
P.S. Do your part at home-replace bulbs with CFLs, or the new LED lights, as a start. I read if every household in the US installs one LED, it would be the equivalent of taking 4 million cars off the road.

At 12:00am on July 31, 2008, Jay Burow said…: Thanks, David, wish it was! The owner was giving rides at an airshow at Boeing Field last month. Got some great videos, prop wash blew my cap off when it came right at me, and then turned 180. Did get a half-hour ride on a restored B-17, "Aluminum Overcast" the day before. It's owned by EEA, go to www.winaplane.com to enter to win a new Cirrus SR20, or helicopter as second prize. Got some great videos, hope to post them when I figure out how.
See Bill's page for my reply. I took lessons many years ago, haven't made Oshkosh, but we have a great fly-in every summer at Arlington, WA.

At 6:21pm on July 30, 2008, David Scott Coker said…: He Jay -- is that your airplane? I cannot tell what it is but it looks smaller than a Stearman but maybe larger than a Starduster. Is it perhaps a WACO?

I love to fly but do not have my pilots license. One of my lifetime goals is to get a Sport Pilot license. Some of my friends let me fly their planes from time to time.

Wish I was at Oshkosh this week. Two years ago, I was. Unfortunately, the guy I used to go up there with died tragicly last year.

Last time we were up there I took some great pictures of the only flying DeHaviland DH-4-B in the United States with a World War I vintage Liberty engine. If you email me at oldcars55@aol.com I will send you some of the pictures I took of this beautiful plane in the early morning when it took off to return to St. Louis.

I live in Southern Oregon, but if the money is right and I could sell my house in this slouching economy then, perhaps I will be a wind tech. It sounds like I could really enjoy it, and make a difference, thanx..........Joel

At 4:44pm on July 29, 2008, Bill Mollring said…: Jay, I forgot to comment on your Steerman. I had the opportunity to take a ride in one by a friend of mine, who by the way, is somewhat crazy. He was a pilot in Vietnam, a crop duster, and owned a Steerman. I think he did everything you can possibly do with a Steerman, except throw me out. He laughed for days. It was a great experience and one I won't forget. That is a great shot of yours. Aloha, Bill

At 4:38pm on July 29, 2008, Bill Mollring said…: Hi Jay,
Thanks for your comments and letting me know about your site.
I have checked it out and find it very interesting and right in line with what we have been working on for the past three years. We have worked with UCDavis, USC., U of Texas, U of Hawaii Energy Test Lab and a couple of other universities. We have our units running at elementary schools including one in Laughlin, NV. This is a great resource and we want to work with all types of schools so students can learn more about alternative energy and help come up with new ideas and concepts. I wish you well with your projects and please stay in touch. We want you, and everyone, to join our site as well, so please take a look it. Thanks a lot, and Aloha, Bill

At 5:33am on July 29, 2008, Joel M. Mesman said…: Yes you are right, about the windmills. They are cool to look at and watch the blades go around. It's easy to get lost in the silent serenity of their energy producing potential! The coastal winds are very good coming off the Pacific. Once you go inland a couple hundred miles they really become unpredictable though. The Columbia Gorge really gets them whipping along.
