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
At this point in my life, dont have the money to put into any of the big solutions (solar panels, a new car, etc.) and as a drummer riding a bike to work is impossible, but I've managed to cut my energy bill by 10% and raise my gas mileage by 15%.
How is that for an actionable objective? Sounds pretty much win-win to me... reduce energy use and save money.
I think that in addition to the large scale solutions (new and more efficient technologies and wide-scale policy reform) there are a ton of small things that we all can do that will lower our energy use (and therefore reduce our oil consumption) on an individual level.
If you have the time, check out this forum http://push.pickensplan.com/forum/topic/show?id=2187034%3ATopic%3A193424 and let me know what you think. I'm always looking for new ideas.
Welcome to Live Carbon Free. We are committed to making an immediate difference while other avenues are developed. We welcome your comments.

We are working on the American Wind Investment Trust that would inverst in a wind farms in plain states and transport that down a transmission ( we own) to NYC. If you are interested I know Richard is looking for live bodies
yourlettertoyourcongressman.docWelcome!Mrs. Grey and I are happy that you have joined this group and we hope that your involvement with this effort will be rewarding for you and your children. We have prepared a letter that encompasses the Pickens Plan so you can send it to your congressional delegation. It is easy to send you just click on the web site to your congressional delegation. You can easily find it by Goggling it.
Mrs. Grey and I had fun developing this plan and we shared this plan with Pickens' people and they sent back a "Great Idea!” I just want to share with you our opportunity to make a difference. A copy of the letter is at the top of this comment
Best Wishes
