Mike Pickens has made a major mistake. He has asked me to assume the role of Mississippi State Pickens Plan leader, and personally, I now have some doubts about his sanity. However, since (obviously) there is some doubt about my sanity, I have accep…

Profile Information

Are you interested in becoming an organizer in your area?

Yes

Tell us about your experience with alternative energy:

long-time pilot(UNDERSTAND costs, ALL, of heavy oil useage), career railroader, (above, again). Understand all of the alternative energy questions, AND THEIR PROBLEMS.
Especially infrastructure problems.

What excites you about this campaign?

It is exactly what it SAYS it is, an immediate START in solving the problem. THE ONLY POSSIBLE immediate start.
It does not proport to be THE answer, only an IMMEDIATE answer, that gets us started in the right direction.
As Boone says, there is no other immediate answer. We need to get started, not just daydream and plan.

What do you want to do to help?

Anything, including organizing, IF NECESSARY.

I would prefer to be a behind-the-scenes worker.

I do have the facilities and location to hold meetings of just about any size. Those facilities are open and free to anyone wishing to promote these concepts. (60'x60' hangar, or very large country club meeting rooms.)

New technology possibly applicable for CNG tanks

One of the major problems with converting motor vehicles to operate on CNG has been the high-pressure tanks that are required to carry the CNG. A company that has recently entered my radar is Liquidmetal Technologies, which is developing a whole array of various items out of what they call glass metal technology. Quite similar to injected plastics in basic concept, this technology could possibly lead to very light, extremely strong CNG tanks, far cheaper than what is currently in use.

It can be made from switch grass, weeds, even garbage, costs less, produces less pollutants, and produces mopre power per gallon. Not a bad start - I wonder which Big Oil will kill it? (Sorry for the cynicism but history does repeat itself)

I guess the object directly in fromt of the plane hid the characteristic Cessna air inlet on the bottom of the cowl and made it look like the Rans cowl. I flew 172's mostly in Indiana - was treasurer of flying club - not had the great rides you have! A friend had a Cristen Eagle - great plane! I have only flown once in 5 yrs being in Georgia - a Taylorcraft BC12D - fun but a bit tight under the arms :-) I miss it terribly.

At 9:33am on September 12, 2009, Allen R. Gale said…: Thanks for your comment. Properly applied to vehicles it is a reasonable alternative. I know from marine experience that it needs to be handled carefully lest it leak into your bilge - but what fuel doesn't need care? By the way, is that your plane? It looks like a Rans from what I can see.

At 6:33am on July 18, 2009, Lee Taylor said…: Thanks for the Solar Promise update. I fully concur that this seems to be the major desirable energy source for the future.
Solar energy is so incredibly obvious to anyone who spends any time at all outdoors---I can CERTAINLY testify that here in Misssissippi, after I worked in the yard for a couple of hours during the height of the day, that WE ARE NOT LACKING IN SOLAR ENERGY HERE!!! :<) -----:<((((
Solar's only problem is that it is still a few years away from making a significant impact on the consumer level, and THAT IS WHAT PICKENS PLAN IS ALL ABOUT. It is about providing a BRIDGE to help us get started on reducing the foreign oil usage, and starting NOW, not ten years from now.
T Boone has always stated unequivocally that his "plan" is not THE ANSWER, it is a bridge to help us get to "the answer", and START with what we have available NOW.
He has also consistently stated that there is no one "answer", and the final answer will be the combination of several different systems, methods, and concepts.
All he, and we, want is to GET STARTED NOW, with what is available to the consumers, (us!), NOW. Well proven, available, practical, NOW. To give us time to develop "The Answer".
And stop sending $700 Billion of our money every year overseas, never to be seen again.

Over the next 5 billions years before the Sun begins to dim, it will produce unfathomable amounts of
solar energy. A tiny fraction of that solar energy will reach the surface of the Earth. Yet, this tiny
fraction is enough to supply all of the energy needs, properly harnessed and distributed, to sustain our
growing global population in a pollution-free environment. How is this possible? (read on) and is it
probable? (Yes) Consider that the solar energy is responsible for plant growth, wind, waves, hydroelectric power, river power and direct conversion to electricity and for direct heat.

A Solar Furnace CHP System consists of four major elements: A solar energy collector on a Sun
tracker electro-mechanical system, a Thermal Energy Battery, and an application, such as a Combined
Heat and Power unit which can produce rotational horsepower. There are many other applications for
industrial and human use of the latent heat stored in the Thermal Energy Storage Unit. Here's the
problems the Solar Furnace CHP System has solved (on paper):

 Matching load to supply. The storage of a hot liquid in the TEB, greatly in excess of the
anticipated load over time, will allow for uninterrupted use by the applications. Critical backup
should always be provided such as for hospitals, communication centers and other essential
services. The TEB can provide most of that backup, since heat can be generated and parsed into
the TEB from a variety of sources (electric heat, liquid fueled heaters, geothermal heat, heat
from biomass combustion). The supply of heat from the TEB allows for matching to a variable
load.

 “Free” energy. The use of solar radiance to heat the transfer liquid is the lowest cost source of
energy, even considering the amortization of equipment and operational expenses.

 Low cost. The low cost of the Solar Furnace CHP System relative to large central plants,
makes the unit affordable by a much larger customer base.

 Distributed energy. The primary benefit is derived from the ability to size a system for a wide
variety of different applications, loads, and locations. The Solar Furnace CHP System's
electrical generation can operate in stand-alone mode or networked locally or nationally. A
significant savings of energy lost over the transmission lines, due to heat radiation, can be
realized by locating many smaller plants at the point of application and the avoidance of huge,
centralized facilities.

 Heat collection, storage and transfer. The use of a heat transfer liquid allows for two levels
of heat. The collectors will be able, on a sunny day, to heat the liquid up to 600 degrees F. This
liquid will be pumped to the TEB which is a large tank, heavily insulated and containing a heat
exchanger. The tank takes its input from the solar collectors at the maximum temperature (not
to exceed 600 degrees F), which incoming liquid heats the liquid in the TEB.

These units will be marketed to farms, greenhouse operations, dairies, food processing and packaging
plants, industrial plants and institutions which can accommodate the Sun Collectors and tracker
system. The anticipated payback time will be between two and ten years, depending on the
applications employed.

Shadow will be at the event not our meeting.
Maybe you should do the PR work for me .
My Goal is to Promte the PP to all who attend the show after the show when they leave the building. to add to our Army. And I have no help.

If you think im not doing something right feel free to put your resources and know how in with mine.
If you have a better way for me to promote the PP Im all ears.

thanks
Mike

Leaders should learn about that.
