Tell us about your experience with alternative energy:: I have been studying Energy Policy, Alternate Energy, and have written editorials to the San Antonio Express-News.
I have a website. www.transtexastrucks.com and I hope to help create Plug-in series hybrid trucks that should pass 80 miles per gallon in fuel economy.

What excites you about this campaign?: The common sense graphics used in the first video tell the entire problem so quickly and straightforward. It's time to stop insinuating, and start getting these politicians to do something.

What do you want to do to help?: I am in a Toastmaster group, and speak on energy policies most of the time. I would love to have movie festivals, car shows (electric car shows), and lots of other events to promote renewable energy.

Tell the politicians that the time to act is now. Not in 2020. We need a national Enegy Policy Right NOW!

Last year I helped so many members of Pickens Plan learn about personal home energy plans. It's all about conservation of power, and home power generation, things I have been doing at my residence to lower my electricity costs. Send me a friend request a to add me John, I'd be honored to have you as a friend here.

BTW, Texas: I just posted an article link on my pickens page about Home Wind Systems in Texas. Your state's representatives, governor, and public utility commission officials are not in your corner with this "weak policy" on Net Metering. Instead they have the tables turned against green power for businesses and homeowners. Texas has created multiple sets of rules for loopholes and you have less rights than people in other states. You should read that article, important.

Asking the government to allow offshore drilling or to open up the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is the same reaction a drug addict would use when told he must kick his habit. He will STEAL from his friends and relatives to get more dope.

Plug-in Hybrid technology exists that will give us 100+ miles per gallon, but at the current time it requires independent conversion shops to make the hybrids plug-in capable. Instead of asking our government to drill more oil, we should be asking our car companies to produce plug-in hybrid cars. Gasoline will never go down in price again.
