Yes
Tell us about your experience with alternative energy:
I am currently building an electric car. I am working on installing solar cells in my home.
What excites you about this campaign?
Its long over due. It will reduce wars, pollutions and save money. None of the Presidential candidates and fix this problem in the short term. We(the people) are the only ones who can by stop using oil and gas or at least reduce its use. We have the power to make the change.
What do you want to do to help?
I own a few websites so I can run advertisements on my other website or my car.

Estimate of cost savings from gas to electric car.

Estimate of cost savings from gas to electric car.

I have worked out what the approximate cost of parts of a internal combustion in an automobile compared to a electric plug in vehicle.

Automobile: 1. radiator $ 300- 2. Hoses $ 50- 3. gas tank $150- 4. gas line filter $ 25 -5. fuel pump $100- 6. emission system $60-7.air filters $20-8. pcv $60-9. exhaust system $150-10. I.C. engine $1,500-11. carburetor $ 90- 12. starter $100- 13. guages $60- 14. caps radiator/Gas $ 20- 15. transmission $ 500-… Continue

Jerry,
TRANSPORTATION is the master key to basic survival, and the cornerstone of the economy. We all know that transportation presently depends on oil production, and oil production is peaking. We must focus first on transportation – it is the highest priority. The PickensPlan to transition vehicles to natural gas is a great start toward 100% energy independence, but is a stop-gap measure till we can transition to all electric transportation. Electric energy is strained without adding transportation demands; so we must drastically improve efficiency .
Evacuated Tube Transport (ETT) is a patented technology where travel occurs without air friction or rolling resistance (like “Space Travel on Earth”); ETT can accomplish 50 times more transportation per kWh (or carbon credit) than electric cars or trains. ETT is silent, low cost, safe, faster than jets, and is electric so it can make maximum use of wind or PV power. I invite you to visit my page to learn more about ETT
