James,
This may be a bit of a stretch, but, If you add a set of zone control valves and the appropriate temp controls and pump to your heat exchanger so that it would heat domestic hot water for the home first, would it not now apply for the tax c...
Are you interested in becoming an organizer in your area?
Maybe--But Not Sure What to Organize
Tell us about your experience with alternative energy:
I have worked in the fields of HVAC, electrical contracting and energy management more than 30 years as well as solar for 10 years. I have worked on several solar projects in the past. Now I have just completed my first small wind and solar project. I have built a hybred jet/solar canoe, solar water heater and I am presently working on a hydronic solar furnace.
What excites you about this campaign?
It is time to take America back from the tyrants of this world that we supply all of the money to, to buy the bullets that they are shooting us with. It is time for "we the people" to stand up and be counted. So, put me in coach, I'm ready to play!!
What do you want to do to help?
Anything I can!

Hello PP member,
The planet is in Peril, we try to do our bit, please
checkout our website www.solarbotanic.com and tell us what you think
We should improve add or change
Change to a Better Design in Spark Plugs, a little like changing light bulbs, easy to do with an impact for all. Spend $40.00 - $50.00 now and save $200.00 per year on fuel.

hey jim,its nice to see your own invention.If you would like to produce anything in mass quantities let me know.I have a team of my people back in india who can do it.
I just read your profile and I am interested in some of the work you`ve done. I am working on starting a small wind & solar business in Texas for homes and businesses. I ran into many road blocks so now I am contacting my elected officials to put pressure on them to do whats right.
I found out that my reps recieved thousands of dollars in campaign contributions from big oil. They always vote against renewables.
I started a group called Inexpensive Clean Energy. I posted links to legislative directory,writeor email elected officals,how much money has your representative recieved from big oil,how your rep voted,green jobs,news now,wind & solar suppliers,new technologies, government financing,grants,eem`s incentives, and more.
I invite you to join us and add any iformation that is relevant or use any of the links you wish.
It's my view that the only thing government needs to do is force existing power and energy companies to accept competition by personal and small operations.
There are huge economic opportunities once these obstacles are out of the way and plenty of room for anyone interested to do something small to help.
Imagine if every house hold in Texas or in all of North America had the freedom to buy and install a single 120W photovoltaic panel tied to the power grid. If any could afford more, great.
Jim,
You have been working on some very interesting projects...
a hybrid jet/solar canoe, solar water heater and a hydronic solar furnace. I need to learn more.

Jim,
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 implement drastic efficiency improvement.
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
Thanks for your comments. As I said in an earlier post, we have replaced all our applances in the last few years. The heater and fridge are only about a year old. I think the biggest issue is the 3 teenagers (hopefully moving out soon). Tv's computers and laptops (5) always on. Even though we have He gas washer and dryer they run about 14 loads a week. Not to mention the dishwasher in run everyday and so on down the list. We will keep trying and hope the price comes down soon.
