I would like to discuss wind energy with you and anyone else here. Thank You.

Sorry I’ve been MIA for a while. I’ve been dealing with a few personal issues, and trying to get a kid into college. But this is important. We all need to take action now and telephone Representative Boccieri and Senators Voinovich & Brown at their local and Washington offices. I’m sure you already know, congress will be voting on a new stimulus package. Next Wednesday is the House’s vote. All our legislators say they (and their staff) are here to serve the residents of the 16th District. Telephone them all before Wednesday, and tell them to vote for the stimulus package.

Tell them you support this legislation because it contains:
Support for wind energy (that builds on 2008's successes).
An extension of the Production Tax Credit.
And, it implements a renewable infrastructure loan program.

To see change, and stop feeding our addiction to foreign oil, we need our legislators to support our own home grown energy sources (like wind & natural gas). So while on the phone talking to (or leaving a message with) our legislators, ask them why they haven’t yet come out in support of the PickensPlan! Tell them if they’re not going to support this plan, please give you the details of their own plan. If not T. Boone’s plan, they best have their own plan that’s better!

Here’s their Washington & local phone numbers:
Representative John Boccieri
W # 200/225-3876
L # 330/489-4414
Senator George Voinovich
W # 202/224-3353
L # 216/522-7095
Senator Sherrod Brown
W # 202/224-2315
L # 216/522-7272

Important: Please let me (and the group) know you’ve called by reporting back at a discussions page on our PP 16th district group page. Also let us know if you learn anything of interest from them or their staff! I’ll be reporting this back to PickensPlan HQ.

Your 16th District Leader,
Dave Gallagher

I’m the new Ohio “16th Congressional District” leader for the Pickens Plan. This is just one of the congressional district groups, from across the United States, created by T. Boone’s national organization. I would like to ask you to join this group, and become an active member with us. The intention of this group is to take T. Boone’s “Pickens Plan” beyond the Internet, and into real live “Action” meetings! Take this first step, and join the “Pickens Plan District Group OH-16” group at:

http://push.pickensplan.com/group/DistrictGroupOH16

I hope to see you there soon!

Dave

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.
In addition to the PLEDGE, we now also have a RED "CONTACT CONGRESS" BUTTON on the main page, top right. Fill out the standard form and the letter is sent to YOUR Governor and Washington Representatives! Easy breezy. Perfect timing considering the energy bill is coming up. We must beat back the lobbyists!

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.

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

My life's goal is to have all residential property co-generating electricity in North America by 2025. Little know fact it's only 25% of entire North American Grid Consumption.
This is attainable we have the technology and the man-power.....
We must start now!!!! Time for talk is over.....

I have introduced the Boldest Solar/Housing Initiative ever put forth...
Entire subdivisions of low-cost Modulars with little to no electric bill that retail from $79,900 to $149,900 680sq 2/1 to 1380sq 3/2.
Meets the need for low-cost housing and helps over Stressed Grid during PEAK_USAGE hrs as entire subdivisions come on-line becoming virtual mini-generating stations.

As well as helps the environment…

Win-win-win.
It is the short term solution to a long term problem.......

Now that I have come home to South Georgia....
it is time to enlist All the help with this I can get.
I need more R & D with my new patent Idea an will be asking for Ga Tech's help.....with the SOLAR POWERED RECIRCULATOR GENERATOR which will drive the cost of production down by almost 60% and will also be going back to Washington DC in this election year to demand more from our "so called elected or soon-to-be-elected officials".

I am in negotiations with Roger Little of Spire Solar in Mass to build a 100mw manufacturing plant in Liberty County Ga.

My plan is simple mix Roger's little assembly line with RapidModular.com's walling panels to produce under one roof the
Structures of the future.

I have a Confidential Private Placement Memorandum near
Completion. I am only letting 35 non-accredited investors in
before turning it over to the Investment Banker Wolves....
they are already at the door.....

Me and couple other individuals would like to purchase land in the midwest with known sustained high wind areas but don't have the expertise in evaluating the land and looking at tradeoffs. We are all engineers (electrical) who have worked the gamut of startups to large corporations. Do you have/know of people with this expertise? I am able to obtain capital but a large amount of due diligence is needed before I approach investors. Please let me know how you would like to collobarate and I can send you my personal contact info.

Thanks,

Kumar
