Profile Information
- Are you interested in becoming an organizer in your area?
- Yes
- Tell us about your experience with alternative energy:
- I was recruited from high school to get involved in nuclear and alternative energy at the University of Texas at Austin. When OPEC dropped the price of oil, I extended my professional career to pioneering new technologies and to the business side of new venture development. Originally from West Texas with a keen sense of the effort and commitment involved in developing and supporting the energy needs of the country I have applied my expertise in a wide range of advanced and new technology development as well as venture justification that could potentially be leveraged to support this effort.
- What excites you about this campaign?
- As an engineer, technologist, and new venture development person, its exciting to me to see Picken's commitment and the rapidly growing enthusiasm of this community for alternative energy solutions and initiatives. The passion behind this movement is tremendous; it's needed.
- What do you want to do to help?
- Let me get alittle more familiar with the plan based on federal updates. Thanks.

Unfortunately San Antonio is not what you could call a progressive city. There is green awareness here but nothing terribly organized, especially as regards alternative energy. Some discussion of light rail, for example, and a fair amount of solar activity. On the positive side, hardly a week goes by where I don't see a line of trucks taking windmill parts down the road. Also, there may be things going on that I'm not aware of. I'm really busy, so I haven't done much more than join the Pickens Plan group. Thanks for emailing. Feel free anytime. Roy Q
The onshore and offshore installation of wind turbines in Denmark and Germany are producing 20% of all their electrical needs; in Spain, as much as 38% (please see examples in the photos on my page). We are 10 years behind in implementation compared to these countries!
I mention these examples to give us a direction for inspiration and point to where we could be heading with the Pickens Plan. The technology is already there and we do not have to reinvent the wheel. These are a few of the websites I would suggest you visit to see what others around the world have done and are doing:
1) The Solar Village – Freiburg, Germany. See: http://www.thesolarvillage.com/
Watch the video in the upper left corner of the page. It tells a great story.
2) The Folkecenter for Renewable Energy – Denmark.
See: http://www.folkecenter.net/gb/overview/publications/
Under VARIOUS, read: The transition from Fossil Fuels to the Renewable Energies
The whole website is excellent and you could spend hours there.
3) Google: Samso, Denmark. This is an island off the coast of Denmark that is completely self-sustaining. http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2008/07/07/080707fa_fact_kolbert
4) Read the article written by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. titled: “Global Warming: A Real Solution”
Here are a few great videos to see: “Saved by the Sun” a PBS NOVA video, and “A Crude Awakening” by Basil Gemlpke, et al. Americans need to mobilize and pressure our government representatives both on the state and national level. The Pickens Plan is a good place to foster discussion and share ideas and PUSH this plan! We can all share in this vital common cause. Good luck in your quest for a better more secure America….. Please ask 5 of your friends to join the “PLAN”……> Lee Ewald
