Hi LArry
What do you want the new president to do FIRST??
"That's the question of the day at Fox News, and you can weigh in by sending them an email telling them you want to see the next president adopt the Pickens Plan!
Please go to: America's Talking at http://www.foxnews.com/livedesk/index.html
Regradless of who we voted for - our country has decided and we must do everything in our power to insure the Obama's Presdency is a successful one. STARTING WITH ENERGY. We must continue to educate Americans one at a time how urgent renewable and alternative energies are to our future. WE ONLY ACHIEVE CHANGE WITH HARD WORK AND DEDICATION to creating a complete paradigm shift of thought in this country.
Thomas Friedman said some critical things about changing thought and getting action:
What do you think about Boone's New Energy Army marching on Washington when President-elect Obama and the new Congress are sworn in?
I think he’s on the right track.
Why do you say that?
How did we get civil rights changes in this country? It happened basically when people took to the streets and politicians saw them, understood there was an aggrieved community there that wanted action, and the politicians decided that the cost of inaction on their part was greater than the cost of action. The same thing has to happen on energy. There is only going to be real legislative change and support of renewable energy when enough politicians decide that the cost of inaction is greater than the cost of action. And bringing lots of people, and I don’t mean five, ten, twenty, but hundreds of thousands of people to bear on Capitol Hill to drive that point home is really essential.
How closely do you think the major oil-exporting countries are watching us to see whether or not America develops a sustainable energy policy?
I think they’re watching, but I think so far they’re not afraid because they’ve seen this play before. They know when global oil prices go down, it tends to kill the renewable energy industry. Happened in the ‘70s and ‘80s. And so I don’t think they’re exactly quaking in their boots yet. But I think they’re watching very closely, especially when they see the politics shift and they see people like Boone or Wal-Mart, people from the corporate sector or even from the traditional energy business such as General Electric adopting new positions- that gets their attention. They haven’t seen yet any really scale alternative to oil. Until they do, I don’t think they’ll be all that worried.
I have said all along the only way to get this done is to make it political suicide for them not to get it done! The only way we affect results on this is to be strong, be loud, be united and be consistent, in all of it. PLEASE continue to share the Pickens Plan with everyone you know. Bring them to the site. Get them to sign your pledge/petition. NOW is not the time to let down our effort, it is the time to turn up the pressure - We now know where it needs to be directed. We will eat the apple one bite at a time. Please keep it in your conversations and continue to help us build to millions of supporters. WE CAN DO THIS.

Hi Larry,
what types of solar tax credits do they have in VA?
Hi Larry........Europe can be our inspiration if we open our eyes. In our driving throughout the northern European countries, many forms of fuel were available........even look at what Brazil did back in the 1970s after the first oil embargo. Look at Germany, Spain and Denmark who lead the way in wind power. The amount of solar PV panels staggered my mind when we were in Germany......It was an inspiration to me to get off my butt and do things that I knew I needed to do around my own house. I have spent the past few days bringing my thermal solar (hot water) system back up to snuff.......very happy to hear it turning on and off with the sunshine. Also, I have added double cellular shades on my large south facing windows as well as changing over to the new energy efficient light bulbs.......We can all do a little to help!!! Lee
I am working on one of them, but the ETA might not be in your time horizon. There are others out there (because I have to know about them), but I am biased against most of them - hence the reason I am building a commercial product of my own.
Feel free to inquire regarding our product. I will provide whatever information I can (to a point of course).
Thanks
in response to your question you can get a list of manufactures,suppliers and installers on several green sites. Our group Inexpensive Clean Energy I posted some links in a discussion titled local,state,utility & federal incentives. Some of the links there will not only list suppliers but also eem`s, grants, & loans to help pay for it.www.awea.org is one of them. If you have any more questions about wind or solar for your home check in our group ICEcorp or write me. Thats what we`re all about.
