Are you interested in becoming an organizer in your area?

Maybe--But Not Sure What to Organize

Tell us about your experience with alternative energy:

The only experience I have is reading about alternative energies. My deceased father always told me that he believed that solar and wind energy were the way to go and I totally agree. I think we owe it to the earth and it's inhabitants to seek clean alternative energies.

What excites you about this campaign?

I love the idea of wind energy, its safe, clean, and the wind turbine is more pleasant to the eye than the ugly oil pumps. It totally green. I'd put one in my yard if I could. This could be acomplished much faster that drilling for oil as I have heard that starting from the first day of looking for an oil site to drill to the gas tank can take up to 10 years. We need this NOW. I love T. Boones plan to bridge that gap between now and our cleaner green home made alternative energies of the future. We need to keep American dollars IN AMERICA, not the foreign OPEC control freaks.

What do you want to do to help?

I have already sent along this plan via email to family and friends via email to several different parts of the country. I hope to bring it up during conversations and start helping to spread the word. Mr. Pickens, you may be a republican and I am a democrat, but this transends all party lines as we should support this because we are all Americans looking for a way to help clean up mother earth, save money, and keep our money here.

Turbines in NH!!!!!!

I am Very Happy to announce that New Hampshire will be starting up its first wind turbines in Dec08/Jan09 in the town of Lempster, NH!!! WOW! It will serve up to 10,000 customers. It's a start in the right direction. It took 5 years from start to finish. The changes are coming!!!!!

NH for PickensPlan

I am happy that I have a lot of interest for the Pickens Plan in NH. I'd like this to be an casual but inportant place to share ideas. I know that I personally don't have a lot of experience in alternative energies except for the fact we need to do something now. Maybe with those of us in New Hampshire banding together we can get our elected offiicals to do something except just filling a chair. We can write to our elected officials and see where they stand on this issue. You can find their emai… Continue

It has been a while since we kept in touch last!

We are now over 1.2 million suporters. We will need many more if we are to beat back the damn lobbyists and special interests. Can you help with the pledges? Every American needs to sign on. With pledges we can fan out and reach so many. It is an easy ask- Boone has done the hard work. I was able to get 300 signed in the first 4 days - everyone wants to to get off of foreign oil. We may never have a golden opportunity like this again!
ARE YOU IN?

Best
Kim

Just as the Pickens Plan, this sight focuses on the need for other energies to help with Global Warming. You can also sign a petition that will be sent to our leaders regarding using alternative fuels. I feel that the more we send our leaders our concerns, just maybe they will get the idea. Here is the address :

How long would it take to construct an ETT and how could they connect to towns and cities?

At first, ETT will connect major cities, concentrating on cities with heavy travel demand that are about 200 to 600 miles apart (too far to drive, but not far enough to fly). Eventually ETT will be networked like the interstate highway system is, allowing seamless non-stop travel to or from each city, to any other city on the network anywhere in the world. Every city or town served by ETT will have one or more access locations spaced much like exits on freeways.

The first ETT routes will likely be constructed by conventional methods of joining individual sections of tube together. Using this method, the construction timeline for ETT from Orlando to Tampa Florida bid in April of 2003 called for the 96 miles of double tube guideway, three stations, and sufficient vehicles to meet the minimum capacity requirements of the RFP to all be operating by the end of December of 2007. Much of the time was required to meet government requirements, to build and test production tooling, and specific route survey work, and other tasks not part of actual construction. Construction would have started in March of 2005, and taken two years (till March of 2007).

With sufficient demand for ETT production, existing automated pipeline production process can be modification for ETT's special needs. This modification and testing is estimated to take 3 to 5 years to perfect; but will produce ETT guideway across open right-of-way at the rate of more than one mile per hour, and result in further cost savings too.

Seven such ETT production machines could produce ETT along every freeway in the US (about 50,000 miles) in about one year, and at a cost less than the amount of imported oil that could be saved in the first year of operation!

Within 5 years of starting construction on a national ETT network, more than 80% of the population would have an acess point within 10 miles. Since ETT can acomplish 50 times more transportation per kWh than electric cars or trains, and operate at less than 5 cents per passenger-mile, ETT could eliminate all reliance on imported oil in less than 5 years, saving the $700B that the Pickens Plan says is being spent outside the country every year on import oil. Additional benefits would be:

ETT is more than 5 times faster -- saving $1.4T per year in value of time spent on transportation.
ETT will cause less than 1% of the environmental damage as cars, trains, and planes.
ETT development will be in demand around the world, if the US develops ETT first, we will supply that demand.

I still want to learn more, so over the next couple of weeks I'll be checking out information. How long would it take to construct an ETT and how could they connect to towns and cities. Just a thought. Have a good day---Lynda

At 6:26am on August 8, 2008, Lynda Stewart said…: Hi Steven: I totally agree with your comments on alternative energies in NH. This is the exact reason I started my blog. So we as citizens of NH had a voice. We are one of the smaller States of the Nation so we have to work harder to be heard. As you talk to your friends, make sure your have them visit my blog. I check new members everyday to add them, but NH Pickens Members are only slowly growing, so we really need to make other NH people understand what is happening here. Anyone on my blog can refer anyone to join in discussions. NH needs a voice too, especially since NH and other New England States face the long cold winters and will be struggling to pay their heating bill this year. Please everyone, blog all you want. I am not an expert and by starting to get NH people talking amonst eachother was one of the things I could do to contribute. Have a Great Day Everyone and the word for the day PickensPlan! ---Lynda

I have found that this is a subject that is strange and different to people in NH and change is difficult. We all need to work together to get something started here in NH or we will be left out.

At 12:09am on August 8, 2008, Daryl Oster said…: Lynda,
Thank you for your comments -- you said your questions were the same as Harvey. The brief answers follow:

Harvey,
Some answers to your questions about ETT:

Your asked:
how do you breathe if the tube is a vacuum?
I know, on board air supply.
But, how do you allow for different people loads and different lengths of time to travel longer distances?

Answer>> this is all disclosed in the patent -- please consider that submarines stay underwater for months at a time, as do people orbiting in space -- all is highly proven, light weight, low cost, and very reliable.

Your asked:
What happens if the system has a failure (things DO break) and people are stuck inside?

Answer>> I believe your concern is safety, is it not? please realize that most freeway and air fatalities are NOT caused by failures, but by human error, weather, obstacles in the path of travel, etc. these normally accepted risks are all substantially eliminated by design in ETT. Also, ETT capsules have no moving parts (less than 1/1000th of the complexity of jet aircraft), and are by nature failsafe. Unlike aircraft, ETT capsules always operate in a highly controlled environment. It should be clear to anyone who closely examines the relative risks that ETT is many times less likely to fail than are cars or aircraft. Also, this is covered in more detail in the ETT patent.

Your asked:
How do you move a disabled car that is stuck in the tube?

Answer>> If failure occurs (remember that failure will be much rarer with ETT), where would you rather be: 7 miles above the ground (as in an aircraft)? OR,
On the ground, 3 inches away from rescue teams with equipment to effect reasonably fast rescue ?
The patent document discloses several ways to effect rescue and or self rescue; yet I doubt they will be used often enough to justify the added cost, and/or added risks of failure points.

Your said:
So many basic things that are not addressed in your information.

Answer>> Please understand the Pickens Plan is NOT my website -- There is much more info on the referenced website
( www.et3.com ) - including the ETT patent document and images (good to open both in seperate windows when reading the patent).

AND, The et3.com website is only the "tip of the iceburg" of information we have accumulated on ETT design and implementation.

Thank you for your questions, and interest in ETT. If you have more questions after reading the patent, i will be happy to answer them as i am able to do so.
