Profile Information
- 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 am an interested observer living in the heart of the panhandle of Texas. I've seen the local oil production come and go and come again, along with prices. Now I'm watching wind energy sprout from the south plains to the north.
- What excites you about this campaign?
- My optimism in the American Spirit. I know that when we decide to do something, nothing has ever stopped us. When we effort together, great things get accomplished. The plan seems logical and supportable, plus I sense a ground swell from the public that we must do something.
- What do you want to do to help?
- 1) I will contact my government representatives to petition their support of the plan. 2) I will email the plan to my contacts. 3) I will provide a link to the plan on my business website. 4) I will consider other opportunities to share and promote the plan.

Happy New Year Keith,
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 Keith, 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.
Part of the answer to this whole problem is to make all states energy deregulated as Texas and New York are. Give people a choice of switching to green energy through their energy provider. Deregulation leads to choices, incentives and lower prices, as these two states show, and the website illustrates specifically, with real world prices you can check on from many providers.
In regulated states, there is no choice and utilities have a monopoly hold on everything. They will not change, or if they do, it will take another fifty years. They have a strangle hold on everyone and will not let them go..it feels kind of like being in Egypt back in the Old Testament days. Consumers are powerless and helpless for the most part, and are dictated to by oil companies and utilities who buy their carbon fuels.
By contrast, if customers have a choice, as they do for long distance service, then they can switch FAST. Consumers can easily switch to a green energy company that supplies all of their power from wind for example.
Consumer demand will drive the green market as well as investors who will supply it to the demand, rather than utilities freezing everyone out of choice and forcing everyone into extinction due to burning carbon based fuels and 10,000 years of buildup of toxic radioactive fuels.
The only thing left is education, which means that green energy providers hire sales people who will educate first, and then sell green energy to consumers who are truly AWARE and making an INFORMED choice.
We cannot wait another thirty years for the government or anyone else to save us. We have the power NOW to change things, today.
Especially for those living in Texas or New York it is possible to switch to green energy today, without building anything and without buying expensive panels, towers, etc., using links below.

I have found one in N. Dakota
Promana ticker PSLU did a reverse split and its assets were taken over via a merger by Crownbutte Wind Power on July 31st 2008, Crownbutte board replaced Promana board July 31st 2008
Crownbutte completed a private placement Aug 1st 2008 to build, own
and operate an approved 200 megawatt wind project with 134 turbines in
southwestern North Dakota estimated cost to build $30,000,000.
Project value upon completion and before tax credits is $50,000,000.
CBWP has been consulting for and building wind power farms in North
Dakota since 1999.

is patented technology where travel occurs without air friction or rolling resistance (like “Space Travel on Earth”). ETT provides 50 times more transportation per kWh than electric trains or cars. ETT is clean, safe, and faster than jets. The focus of ETT is to maximize transportation value with proven technologies.
YES - did you get a different impression from the copy & storyboard?
Thanks for joining - please come back to me - let me know of your production experience - or - are you just expressing support for the idea of a documentary? Either/both of which are appreciated. Thanks also, for requesting me as a friend. We’ll talk soon & I will keep you up on the group’s progress.Now back to recruiting more of us for PickensPlan.com –
Saw your comments on the investment board and want to share some information.
We have a group of leaders, some of whom you are already speaking with, who will be participating in a conference call regarding the formation of an SB11 or 501 Charter.
I'll be sending a notice or alert to all members of the Finance Team. If you want me to send one to you. Click this link to review before deciding you want to join.

I support the Pickens Plan!
I also believe that we must support traditional energy exploration through production of oil, natural gas and coal. We've got to drill more now! This can be supplemented with wind, solar and hydro. Eventually, these alternative energy sources will become primary. Additionally, we must begin engineering and building nuclear reactors now, and must decide on a location for the spent nuclear fuel as soon as possible.
America must be energy independent.
Thanks for considering my opinion.
