Merry Christmas Jennifer,
This year I have helped so many members learn about personal home energy plans. It's all about power use, conservation, and home power generation, things I have been doing at my residence to lower my energy costs. Send me a friend request a to add me Jennifer, I'd be honored to have you as a friend here.
BTW, oklahoma: I just posted an article about Home Wind Systems in oklahoma. Your state's representatives, governor, and public utility commission officials are not in your corner with this "soft policy" on Net Metering. Instead they have the tables turned against green power for businesses and homeowners. You should read that article, important.
We have new roof mounting residential wind turbine kits shipping now. They are sleek and attractive, well designed. These are actually a home appliance on the roof, much like an antennae or satellite dish. They are as easy to install as other home appliances, dishwasher, etc. It's a nice clean way for you to begin a personal energy plan. These systems are inexpensive, easy to install, scaleable.
Your Wind blows stronger in the winter, Your Sun shines stronger in the summer months. This hybrid wind/solar system combines these cycles to give a more even flow of energy year round. This homeowner sized wind/solar system provides free power for your home. Many customers have found it easy to become customer/dealers of our kits. Customers can become a dealer with no further investment, they see quickly how people are easy to get interested.
I have used the same systems save money on my electricity costs and Jennifer, you can too. Your local wind resources are so good in Oklahoma. Have a look at these windmaps and see can you pinpoint what number your area is in. Zone 2 is OK, anything over 2 is (very) good. First double check your wind resources from the map and links below.

I am working on several new solar projects in N California
With a good energy plan, we drill now so in 7 or so years we can be a net exporting nation again - HaveFun

Hi Jennifer,
I'm curious, are you still interested in the Pickens Plan?

Please read my profile, after watching the 2 vids on my page, then my blogs.
I also ask every one to look at and consider this discussion, thank you.
Welcome and THANK YOU for joining Pickens Plan. We need you.
$700 BILLION PER YEAR
We are transferring $700 billion each year, 7 trillion in the next 10 years, to unstable and antagonistic regimes. Americans are angry and ready as never before, to take dramatic steps to reduce our dependence on foreign oil. A plan to replace foreign oil with American solutions has appeared on the horizon, we intend to help Pickens turn this hope into reality- energy independance for our country.
SHARE THE PLAN
with your circle of friends, family and associates. Urge them to JOIN. From your own experience you know it is very much like simply signing a petition. The larger our membership the more likely we will be successful in getting Congress to provide effective incentives for alternative and renewable energies and in insuring that our future president will treat energy independence as a matter of the greatest urgency, applying the same kind of leadership as JFK exercised when he led us with his stirring challenge to put a man on the moon in 10 years.
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. How frightening to think that we could be looking back and apologizing to our children that we chose not to get this done when we had the chance.

I will surely accept if you invite me to be your “friend”.
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. Print downloadable flyers and put them in your car and/or business window.
YOU MAY FEEL INSIGNIFICANT
Individually, we each feel the same way, but together we will lay the foundation for a stronger, more prosperous and more secure America. Thanks again for joining us in this historical effort!
A GROUP FOR EVERYONE
Check out the Legislation Tracking and Write Congress groups as well as the various groups for Solar, CNG, 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.
Thank you for joining with us. You are appreciated.
Jennifer, you can expect to receive more than a few welcomes from various members within the next 48 hours. Thankfully, each welcome will be different from the others. Of course, these welcomes, as is mine, are cookie-cutter type welcomes. They have to be. Because of the daily volume of new members joining the Pickens Plan campaign/army there is no other way, at present, to say hello to so many people so quickly and let you all know that we very much appreciate that you have joined with us.
The way I have approached composing my welcome to you is to think back to the time when I joined (the 11th of August member # 109,109) and ask myself. "What information could someone have given me that would of been of immediate service and value?" And the answers I came up with are what I am passing on to you. This is my welcome.
Note: If you are a veteran at social networking online then much of what I have to say can be skipped. If you are not, then it may be worth your while to read the whole message. Also, keep in mind that these points I have listed are only suggestions.
1. If you have expectations of what you will find here and how things will operate then I encourage you to immediately rip those preconceived expectations off of your clipboard. Put a blank page on and start completely fresh.
2. Do not get into a hurry. There's lots to learn and get acquainted with. It takes a while to "groove" yourself into this.
2. Take some time to thoroughly familiarize yourself with everything that is on your page. Click on everything that you can click on and see what it does. Make notes about the things that you don't understand or don't know how to use.
3. Anything that you don't understand or are uncertain about how to use, don't hesitate to ask anyone who has welcomed you. If we don't know the answer we have all, by this time, built up networks of friends and someone in one of those networks will have the answer(s) you need. And if you happen to think that your question is too dumb or too silly to bother anyone about....well, forget that. There is absolutely NO question that you could ask that would ever be considered either too dumb or too silly.
4. Take some time and check out each of the featured members. On your page they are on the right side. Just click the photo and you will be taken to their page. Once on their page read their profiles, their blogs, their comments, look at their videos, look at their photos, look to see what groups they belong too. Basically, spend some time and look over everything! I guarantee you it will be a big help.
5. After checking out all of the featured members go up to the different tabs at the top of your page and take up one after another and see what happens.
6. When you come to Groups and click on that tab and find yourself on the group page there will be four groups at the top of the page. I suggest that you first check out Guides and Materials for New Members by the Communication Support Group. The members of this group have worked very hard to assemble and provide an extensive resource for the members.
7. There is a search function on the group page. Type in your state and click search. See what group or groups have been started in your state.
Well...that's what I have to offer you. I hope it helps. If you have any questions about anything. DO NOT HESITATE TO ASK.
Now you had better buckle up because you are in for one wild ride.
Good Luck,
Monte
p.s. I will be back in a few days to see how you're doing.
