Are you interested in becoming an organizer in your area?
Yes
Tell us about your experience with alternative energy:
Designed and Installed 6000 watts on NASA property.
Have street legal solar vehicle. Performed well and looked better at Seminole Comm. College's 2nd Annual Car Show on Oct. 4th, 2008.
Also solar trailer with HD radio for events / disaster relief combined with the vehicle there's over 1200 solar watts available.
What excites you about this campaign?
It's one facet in our energy shortage problem. Lightweight EV's will win out, and those that need no infrastructure to charge, such as mine are the only answer as the market plunges under 10,000.
What do you want to do to help?
Allow Mr. Pickens access to my Natural Gas outlet that sure saves on my hot water bill! Most months I pay more for their office and tax fees than what my actual energy use is. I may get a gas stove if my 1950's Tappan range ever breaks down.
I studied Alternative Vehicle Fuels at the FL Solar Energy Center.

Someone needs to be focused on helping me and all of you people spending all that time and energy searching on line for something, you'll have to wait for this vehicle's new paint job. Then, I'll either be too busy to get back on line or announcing the investor packages are ready! This is not easy because I am not working with a patent, nor would I ever want to stop another solar vehicle manufacturer from helping to solve all the worlds problems.
Larry, you know; that would look a whole lot better on the roof of a Postal LLV! You really should consider approaching the USPS with your inventive design and show how they could install A/C and use multiple battery or capacitor cells to run the engine and still provide A/C comfort or heating in the winter. Since USPS vehicles normally get used only about 5 hours a day, the total running time would be much less, since each full dismounted stop would accumulate to take over an hour of that 5 hours, so real running time would be about 4 hours. At speeds of maximum 45 MPH, and an average of just 12 MPH, the electric engine would be a significant advantage over gas or diesel. And charging the vehicles would be possible through night chargers, if the sun was not going to be significant enough for the next day, indicated by an evaluative system set up with the solar cells on the roof. It would charge during the day also, further reducing the need for supplimental power. I see it as a multi-million dollar solution per week, and you could find enough interest if you wanted to make this your income producer. Hope you like my idea!
