Happy New Year Kirstin,
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 Kirstin, 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.
Kirstin,
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
I joined the Pickens Plan about a week ago and have spent some time today looking over the features of our website. I just wanted to introduce myself. I’m very excited about our community because I’m also a member of one.org (U2 – Bono – World Hunger) and have personally seen the results of people banning together and influencing our government. The Internet has made it possible. Please keep in touch. All the best, Luis Garcia…
Hi! Kirstin
My name is Denise and Greg Wortham asked me to add you to my list. I am originally from Sweetwater. My maiden name was Hunt. You may know my brother and sister-in-law or some of her family. My brother is Al Hunt and his wife is Karen (Kent) Hunt. I am desperately wanting to move back home now that my kids are grown and get out of Dallas. It's too big, too stressful, traffic is horrible and the humidity just kills me. I understand that you are a big part of the Wind Energy group in Sweetwater. Greg has my resume and if you know of ANYTHING, other than a Tech position, or just anything in the administrative field that is open, I would really appreciate it if you would let me know. I'm trying everything and everyone. Thank you so much and look forward to hearing from you and keeping up with all of the wonderful things going on in my little hometown. Thanks! Denise
Hi, Kirstin, Greg Wortham suggested I reach out to you. We're working in Austin on building a database of third party organizations and leaders -- including chamber and eco devo types -- that would be available to help sign on to letters to the editor, op-eds, etc. in support of the Pickens Plan and the bold ideas set forth in it. Let me know if we can keep you on our list of folks to help. Thanks! - Jennifer Harris, ROSS Communications

"HAVE A WINDY DAY."
Is that the view from your back porch?
