Free Alternative Energy Available Now !
America Continues to Waste over 70% of the Energy it Consumes.
100's of millions of lights unnecessarily burn during the day and night, over heating and over cooling is the norm, over packaging, inadequate recycling, toxic landfills, horrendous road congestion, and our perverted obsession with road construction. Public and Private buildings, Schools, Churches, Homes, ... America's blatant energy waste and overuse is culturally pervasive, and abominable !
1- ONLY with a substantial and tangible economic reward/consequence will most Americans care to conserve.
Crude oil must be taxed at $200 per barrel and offset by making income tax begin at $60k.
Taxing energy is simple, fair, economically sound, and available TODAY.
2- The American auto industry must quickly transition to the 6.4 BILLION people reason$ to manufacture solar, wind, and other alternative energy producers. They already have the needed infrastructure. Every home and building in the world, could be using solar energy. We are fast running out of fossil fuels !
Humanity is racing toward extinction, via global warming, for our failure to stop our energy waste.
Taxing energy (in lieu of income taxes) is the ONLY incentive that will stop energy waste and cause renewable energy sources to be employed.

Invitation to join NW Renewable Energy Group
I have started a Regional group, welcoming comments, ideas, and suggestions for Renewable Energy in the NW Region. Including states from the Pacific, Cascade and Rocky Mountain areas. I realize that some of my Pickens Plan friends are outside this region, but you are always welcome to join and add your thoughts to the discussion. We should be looking at best available sources of energy in our region, and ways to improve the power grid to transfer energy from region to region as it is needed.
Does not matter when you brought on new supporters. It is hard work and it is appreciated. Thank you! Di dyou hit 100? Would still like to have you in the 100CLUB.
Great results for you district! Just fantastic. Have you or anyone in your area brought aboard 100 new suporters personally - we would love to have them in the 100CLUB!
Best,
Kim

Hi Ken
Are we planning on having District Meetings at all? I'm having a tough time understanding the value of being involved. Joined over a month ago and have seen nothing tangible other than group-speak emails requesting we send the party line to our reps and that we host an inauguration party. NOT A CRITICISM - simply a call to action.
It will dry up 17,000 acre of farmland on the arkansas river.In this area is a very strong wind zone.I think they should build wind turbines here.Fossil fuel some wear else
Please stop by and visit our TWO newest 100CLUB members. We are lucky to have such hard working and determined folks on the team!
1. Jack Costantino has brought over 122 new members onboard, and can be seen online frequently encouraging others to bring new members to Pickens Plan. He is also co-leader of his congressional district.
2. Gerry Kempen also has over 120 new supporters. I visited him today, at his very nice Liquor store, "Good Spirits" in Middletown, RI to thank him. Gerry's supporters put us over the top. RI-01 reached the 500 goal today - Inauguration Day. Yippee!

Me TOO! Like Boone says, No battery will ever move an 18 wheeler! EVER.
It may be something we don't know about yet, that's great..... but until then we need to get off oil and onto CNG NOW. We can, we own plenty. The only way to force these things is with grass roots efforts and BIG HUGE NUMBERS. WE need to give Bone a massive hammer. Every member needs to get on the phone, ask 5 people today, "will you support T Boone Pickens plan to get us off foreign oil and onto American solutions."
1. ask the question
2. sign them up manually on the TAKE ACTION page.
Everyone wants to get off foreign oil
Everyone understands that we must keep that money here.
Everyone hates the idea of borowing it from China to give to the Middle East
WE JUST NEED TO GATHER THEIR NAMES
We can do this, Ken. I am still optimistic.
As my husband ponted out, Rome was once full of greed and vice... they never self corrected. AND THEY were leaders of the world for more than 200 lousy years. When will we ever get an oppportunity like this and a man like Boone. He has so bared his back side to criticism and contempt... and he could be rockin away on his front porch. We have to hook our wagon to this horse and plow like hell.
