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:: Boiler controls expert, with significant experience in firing/optimizing biomass fuels. Have saved customers millions of dollars/year by burning more biomass fuels, reducing fossil fuel consumption.

What excites you about this campaign?: It is the right thing to do.

In a nutshell, our country has no energy plan. I actually saw this mess coming several years ago with increasing Nat Gas prices and started switching my IRA into energy funds. My broker told me I was too heavily invested in energy. I have done quite well.

Generating electricity with Nat Gas is a disgrace. I was watching a Gas Turbine operate at one of my customers facilities. It was making ~155MW, consuming some 18 Lbs. of NG per second! With these Gas Turbines scattered all across the country, no wonder NG prices have risen by some 225% over the past 10 years.

On a BTU basis, NG is <25% the cost of gasoline.

I am also excited about some of the solar technology emerging.

What do you want to do to help?: Motivate the community to get behind this plan. Push our politicians in the right direction.

Thank you Mr. Pickens for spearheading this movement!

THERE IS NO COMBUSTION OR CONSUMPTION OF FUEL. IT DOES NOT DEPEND ON VARIABLE SOURCES OF POWER,(IE:WIND,SOLAR,WAVE,ETC.).
IT WILL RELAGATE ALL CURRENT FORMS OF GENERATION, INSIGNIFICANT.IT IS NOT LOCATION SPECIFIC, COULD BE BUILT IN RESEDENTIAL AREAS OR AT MFG. SITES, ALLOWING TOWNS,CITIES,MFG.PLANTS,INDEPENDANT OF THE GRID SYSTEM. YOUR RIGHT, NOTHING IS FOR FREE. IT NEEDS FACILITIES, PEOPLE AND MONEY TO SET UP AND RUN. BUT, THE METHOD IS, THE SOLUTION TO OIL DEPENDENCY,GLOBAL EMISSION PROBLEMS. THE DOWNSIDE ALTHOUGH, IS IT WILL COLLAPSE THE CURRENT INDUSTRIES, ESPECIALLY THE COAL SYSTEM, WHICH WILL BE A SERIOUS NEGATIVE TO TODAYS ECONOMY. THATS WHY CAUTION MUST BE USED IN INTRODUCING THIS METHOD GLOBALLY. I DONT HAVE THE RESOURCES TO DO THIS. SOMEONE WHO DOES HAS TO IMPLEMENT IT.
MY BIGGEST PROBLEM IS THE DISBELIEF THAT THIS METHOD EXISTS. IT JUST NEEDS SOMEONE WHO CAN LISTEN AND SEE. HOPEFULLY MR. PICKENS IS THAT SOMEONE. I'M OUT OF SPACE TO WRITE AGAIN. THANKS MARK. ....... KEN..
