My wife and I, as you know, are in pretty dire financial hardship. If I pursue my "ideas" (i.e. music,production, alternative energy wind/solar, computer "stepdown" translation for energy projects, etc.), I need a lot of help, and at some point, some sort of financial backing. If we could talk about this matter, I would have a better idea about what I'm up against. I'm a "Team" guy, yet need to house and feed my family. I'm not alone in this leaking ship on stormy waters, but I have dedicated my adult life to service and creativity. Like my profile said: I'm a "Dreamer." However, I'm a "Doer," when it comes to projects. So often, kindness is seen as weakness. I refuse to give up on my skills. they are my gifts, and I've worked very hard to learn all that I can to make my skill performance the best it can be. I'm pretty much disposed to collaborations--the sum being greater than the parts. There is no reason why self-interest and collective goals are incompatable. My # here in LV is: 395-7902. email: adavis11@mindspring.com please leave a message if we are not home, and leave a nuber where I can reach you. If I did not send you the "outline" for the self-powered automobile project, please let me know, and I'll get it to you post haste. thanks, stan davis

At 2:20pm on January 29, 2009, Michael Shawn Kendall said…: Hi Jeffrey, Here is a tool for all of us to get RE projects started by selling 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 renewable energy project and save money at the same time for themselves. I need help pushing this project, I've faxed and emailed many in Congress/Senate already.If you agree with this plan please consider passing to other people in your district as it will be a great tool to get funding for PickensPlan projects. This is a way to help and give tools to all of us for getting more RE projects started. My email is ke6cvh@yahoo.com. Here is a copy of a fax sent to Nancy Pelosi the other day:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.

At 10:33pm on January 28, 2009, stan davis said…: Jeffrey .... Stan Davis here...sorry I've been out of touch, but have been going through a major work crisis--am being "laid off," because the radio network is closing down the Las Vegas office. I ago day-to-day, packing boxes and waiting for the axe to fall. So it goes. I've added my outline for a self powered car. I have some new additions, which are not in the original plan. I'm not an inventor, but do have ideas and need to hook up with you or someone who can add and put a technical twist to what I'm trying to say. My neighbor, who was an R & D guy for Northrup nearly 35 years and is a master mechanic, says it will work. What do you think??? I wish I could get somebody to do schematics and bring the idea to "life." We'll see. I know that the energy sources are more than enough. I'll try to remember some of the added ideas I want to put in this plan---it makes more sense then. anyway, my number here in LV is 395-7902 and would love to talk with you about this..perhaps meet for a sandwich and talk a bit...here GOES:

TOTAL "SELF SUFFICIENT" ELECTRIC GENERATING SYSTEM FOR AUTOMOBILE
OUTLINE IDEA BY STANLEY DAVIS, 7504 BARBIE AVE. LAS VEGAS, NV 89131
adavis11@mindspring.com (702) 395-7902 PATENT PENDING COPYRIGHT 2008 STANLEY DAVIS. IF THERE IS ANY FUNDING FOR THIS, I AM UNEMPLOYEED AND WE ARE IN DIRE FINANCIAL HARDSHIP....JUST A THOUGHT.
Musician, Musical Composer, Recording Artist, Sound/Audio/AV technician, Producer,
Creative Writer, "Dreamer."

1. SIX (6) "STATIONARY" 14"-16" ELECTRIC GENERATING TURBINES FACED FORWARD AT FRONT OF CAR, SIDE-BY-SIDE, BEHIND GRILL THAT ALLOWS FREE FLOW OF WIND
FROM AUTO'S VELOCITY (FORWARD). ALL WIRED INTO "ROUTERBOX" FOR DISTRIBUTION TO STORAGE BATTERIES LOCATED IN ENGINE COMPARTMENT &
UNDERNEATH BACK SEAT.

2. TWO (2) "REVOLVING" 18"-20" ELECTRIC GENERATING TURBINES "ANGLED AT LEFT FRON CORNER AND RIGHT FRONT CORNER (ONE ON EACH SIDE) OF FRONT GRILL. ABILITY TO SWIVEL AND TAKE ADVANTAGE OF "CROSSWINDS"...ALSO ALSO SENT TO
ROUTING BOX FOR DISTRIBUTION TO STORAGE SYSTEM(S) (I.E. BATTERIES).

3. "SUN ROOF" SOLAR PANEL, W/ ROUTER TO STORAGE BATTERIES.

4. FRONT-WHEEL DIRECT-DRIVE, WITH REAR WHEELS GENERATING MECHANISM SENT TO CENTRAL ROUTER AND DISPERSED TO STORAGE BATTERIES (LOCATED UNDERNEATH REAR SEATS AND PART OF TRUNK AREA. BRAKE SYSTEM GENERATING SYSTEM (ALREADY IN COMMON HYBRID USE) SENT TO AXLE ROUTER.

5. TOP,"POPUP" SMALL WIND TURBINE GENERATORS, MUCH LIKE TURBINES USED BY JETS FOR EMERGENCY POWER. THEY WOULD BE LEVER-RELEASED AND RETRACTABLE.

6. "PLUG-IN" CAPABILITIES FOR ADDED ELECTRICITY WHILE CAR IS IN GARAGE OR
HAS ACCESS TO POWER.....MAY USE STEP-DOWN TRANSFORMER IF NEEDED.

7. SIX (6)-GALLON BIO-FUEL GENERATOR, FOR EMERGENCY BACKUP. COULD RUN ON PROCESSED SUGARCANE "FUEL" CURRENTLY IN USE BY BRAZILIAN AUTOS, OR OTHER NON-POLLUTING BIO FUELS (HYDROGEN/BORAX, VEGETABLE OIL, ETC.).

8. AFTER "COLLECTION" AND GENERATION, ELECTRICITY WOULD BE DIRECTED THROUGH ROUTERS, TO STORAGE AND FROM STORAGE, OUT TO ROUTERS FOR DEDICATED USAGE. WIND, WHEEL, BRAKE GENERATION COULD BE SPLIT UP....SOME GOING DIRECTLY INTO OPERATING MECHANICS, WHILE LEFTOVER ELECTRICITY, WOULD GO TO STORAGE BATTERIES FOR USE IN SLOW-MOVING TRAFFIC, AND USE OF AIR-CONDITIONING (NON-FREE-ON SYSTEM), HEATING, NIGHT DRIVING EXTRA DEMANDS, RADIO, WINDHIELD WIPERS, INTERNAL & EXTERNAL LIGHTS, HORN, PUMPING FANS. THERMOSTAT BEING REMOVABLE IN WARM WEATHER CONDITIONS.
SOY AND VEGETABLE OILS, AND BIO-FUELS USED FOR LUBRICANTS AND COOLING FORMULAS (FOR AIR-CONDITIONER, TURBINE LUBRICANT, POWER STEERING...ALL
RUN OFF OF SMALL PUMPS). TRANSMISSION COULD BE SIMILAR TO '60S AND '70S
"DAF" (DUTCH CAR) DESIGN, HENCE "DIRECT-DRIVE." PUMPS AND FAN BELTS AND LOW-VOLTAGE STEP-DOWN TRANSFORMERS TO RUN SIMPLE DEDICATED COMPUTERS.
I DROVE A DAF IN '75 FOR AWHILE--GOT ABOUT 60 MPG THEN. AND THE CAR WOULD HAVE SOLAR PANELS ON THE ROOF TRUNK AND HOOD TO MIX IN WITH SECONDARY WHEELES (LIKE "BOUNCY" BICYCLE WHEELS MINUS THE PLAYING CARDS AND CLOTHESPINS.

9. SERIES OF SMALL, LOW VOLTAGE COMPUTERS WOULD DIRECT AND BALANCE ENERGY DISPERSION. EACH "COMPUTER" WOULD BE PRIMARY DEDICATED, WITH
SECONDARY FEATURES.

10. USING MULTIPLE-GENERATING MECHANISMS, "BACKUP SYSTEMS" WOULD BE IN PLACE AND STORAGE BATTERIES WOULD SERVE IN THAT CAPACITY. AUTO BODY DESIGN WOULD BE LIGHTWEIGHT, YET WITH MULTIPLE SAFETY FEATURES ALONG THE LINE OF THE TOYOTA "YARIS" OR SCION MODELS.:

At 2:56pm on December 24, 2008, stan davis said…: Jeffrey... Stan Davis here. I will also celebrate the 12th of January (It's my Birthday !!!), and am excited about your "Green Move." I'd like to hook up in person after the New Year. My phone here is: 395-7902. My wife has a small pre-school, daycare facility here and is always at home. I work wierd hours for a radio network and never know when I'll be working---sometimes 6 am-2pm, sometimes 10 am to 6 pm, sometimes split shifts. My job is a toughie: no benefits, no vacation (paid or unpaid), no holidays (paid or unpaid). I'll be working Christmas. Please leave a message and number and I'll get back to you A.S.A.P. Clynton knows a lot about me and my background/ideas/dreams. He and I have developed a nice relationship via
the "Comments" route. I don't know if you are friends with him, but he's a wonderful guy and very honest, insightful and inspirational.

I'm a life-long musician, having composed over a thousand original pieces of music, toured for decades, recorded everything from "45s" to LPs to CDs. I have a band (the AMERICANSTANBAND), BUT, You know Vegas...not a Mecca for little-known artists doing original material, so I do the bulk of my performance by touring the US, Europe and Australia. I lived in the Netherlands during the '70s and maintain close musical friendships there. I collaborate with a Dutch guitarist (also a master of Greek music), who's played with virtually a "Who's Who in the music world. We've toured around the planet. Hopefully, we will be going to Asia in June. My current "job," is as a commercial radio "traffic" logger/director/commercial creator, template specialist and order processor. I also take all the trash out, properly bagged each Wednesday and saturday (probably the most interesting part of my work).

I have a 10-point outline for a self-generating automobile, which uses wind turbines, solor panels, other electrical generation doo dahs, "plug ins, good storage capacity and a "step=down" transformer system, which I've gotten great feedback from "pro" mechanics and developers from some of the top companies. I am fairly secretive about the idea and Clynton has given me some good advice. It will take about 2-3 years to develope (if funding is out there somewhere) and the cost for that wil bee pretty low. It will utilize the design and direct-drive of the Dutch DAF from the '70s, plus the green technology. My neighbor, a 35-year head of development at Northrup is helping. He's the ultimate "whiz" when it comes to such things.

I'm a creative writer/musician/dreamer and tend to see the "big pictures," and fall short on specifics. I'm a pretty good sound tech, having worked in the music field for 48 years as a professional (I'm 60). I usually had the van in the band, so, of course, I handled the P.A., which accounts for the basis for audio knowledge, and a whole lot of back problems. So it goes. Have a great Holidays and I hope that you give me a call and we can get together. I want to learn more about your solar masterpiece and am thrilled for you. Take care, Stan Davis

At 10:47am on December 24, 2008, Kim Anderson said…: Hi Jeffrey!

Thank you for the friend.

Time is of the essence. In less than 2 weeks, the new Congress will be sworn in. Only the threat of political suicide will keep Congress focused on the job of getting us to independance from foreign oil! The only way to do this is with sheer numbers!

WILL YOU HELP?
http://media.pickensplan.com/downloads/PP/pollingsignupsheet.pdf

Download the petition, get them filled in and fax them back fast. WE CAN DO THIS.

WE HAVE NO INFLUENCE WITHOUT NUMBERS!

Best and Merriest
Kim

Please let me know how it goes. If you get 100 we would be honored to have you in the 100CLUB!

At 10:35pm on December 22, 2008, stan davis said…: Jeff...I look forward to meeting you here in the Chilly North of LV...Y know what I mean. Until then, I wish you a very Meryy Christmas and a prosperous and successful New Year. take care, stan Davis

At 4:03pm on September 11, 2008, Leslie G. said…: Welcome Jeffery and THANK YOU for joining Pickens Plan.

YOU CAN HELP BY BRINGING 5 FOLKS TO JOIN the site today, so that we can build a voice big enough that Congress will finally have to listen to us, instead of the lobbyists and special interests, who will certainly try to derail this historic effort.

PLEASE DOWLOAD THE PLEDGE on the main page. Print out 10 or more of them, get them signed and fax them back ASAP. When we are millions strong, we can achieve this.

THERE IS NO TIME TO DELAY
...to wait and see...or to see if someone else will step up to the plate. It is time for US to roll up our sleeves and go to work. Right now momentum is working in our favor, but if gas prices retreat, the public will forget the pain, and our moment may be lost.

FOR MORE INFORMATION
Check out Pickens "August Call to Action"- for a course of action!
Here is an informative video "Topeka, Kansas Town Hall Meeting": http://www.pickensplan.com/news/2008/08/04/video-of-the-topeka-town-hall

PERSONAL ACTION OPTIONS
We need to do more than “preach to the choir”. Sharing ideas with each other is encouraging but that will not 1) increase our membership nor 2) influence public policy. If you know someone in the press or someone who blogs - get them to cover this. Write to your Congressman/woman. Ask those in the public eye to support this plan.

A GROUP FOR EVERYONE
Check out the many groups for Solar, CNG, your city or state, etc. Connect, learn and share. We grow stronger with your input. If you don't see a group that speaks to your interest, then start a group of your own.

PLEASE FRIEND ME so we can keep in touch. I do updates on new member numbers and help with the pledge petition drive.

Thanks again for joining us.
