Profile Information
- 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:
- No experience but have set idly by for the past 30 years waiting for our government leaders to step up and do something. I don't intend to wait any longer for someone else to take action. It's up to the people to step up to the plate and make things happen. You know, like they did during the Boston Tea Party days. Americans for Americans! Let's get back to the grass roots of what made America great....hard work and ingenuity.
- What excites you about this campaign?
- That someone actually has a plan that will help America instead of the OPEC nations. I remember the oil embargo of the '70's, the price increases and waiting in line at the gas pumps...it was a wake up call to do something then, but for the past 30 years our government has done nothing! Do we sit by and wait another 30 years for the government to do something? NO! I'm with T. Boone on this one and will do whatever I can to help push this much needed change to an alternative energy plan!
- What do you want to do to help?
- I would like to help spread this information on the Pickens Plan to the many Americans out there who do not own a computer and therefore do not have access to this website in order to make an informed decisions about it. If they had someway to access this information they just might be willing to organize a house party, or a town meeting-- say at a library or church where the videos can be viewed by all and then have a discussion about what they've learned. The Internet is a wonderful thing but, we're not reaching a huge section of Americans who have the desire and the means to help America become less dependent on foreign oil. Perhaps Mr. Pickens could broadcast this on cable TV...as most everyone has cable TV these days...and most of us watch Fox News. Bill O'Reilly has been pushing for a plan to help America, so I think that he would gladly dedicate an entire hour to the Pickens Plan.

Merry Christmas Marilyn,
This year I have helped so many members learn about personal home energy plans. It's all about power use, conservation, and home power generation, things I have been doing at my residence to lower my energy costs. Send me a friend request a to add me Marilyn, I'd be honored to have you as a friend here.
BTW, oklahoma: I just posted an article about Home Wind Systems in oklahoma. Your state's representatives, governor, and public utility commission officials are not in your corner with this "soft policy" on Net Metering. Instead they have the tables turned against green power for businesses and homeowners. You should read that article, important.
Hello Marilyn, These new roof mounting residential wind turbine kits shipping now. The kits are attractive, sleek, well designed to install as a home appliance on the roof, much like an antennae or satellite dish. They are as easy to install as other home appliances, like dishwasher, etc. You can now begin a personal energy plan. These systems are inexpensive, easy to install, scaleable.
Your Wind blows stronger in the winter, Your Sun shines stronger in the summer months. This hybrid wind/solar system combines these cycles to give a more even flow of energy year round. This homeowner sized wind/solar system provides free power for your home. Many customers have found it easy to become customer/dealers of our kits. Customers can become a dealer with no further investment, they see quickly how people are easy to get interested.
I have used the same systems save money on my electricity costs and Marilyn, you can too. Your local wind resources are so good in Oklahoma. Please see these windmaps at the link below and pinpoint what number your area is in. Zone 2 is OK, anything over 2 is (very) good. First double check your wind resources from the map and links below.

I just now saw your post(s). I am afraid I do not frequent this site all of the time so sometimes I miss things. If you are interested in talking about this let me know at steveingraham at hotmail dot com. I do see my emails there every day.
I don't know of any local meetings, but I would like to attend if we do have one. I think this plan really needs to be pushed and pushed hard, so that it continues to gain media attention. The more people who "get it," the more likely it is to be pushed by those in power. (No pun intended!)
