Michael's Friends

Michael's Groups

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:: I own a flex fuel vehicle. I have been contemplating buying an old diesel auto and converting it to run on vegetable oil. I have already signed up with wecansolveIt.org. My goal is to live off the grid. On a larger scale I would like to volunteer my time to mobilize this nation towards energy independence.

What excites you about this campaign?: Personal finances first and foremost. I am losing my position as a member of the middle class. I am furious that this great nation is being crippled by dependence on foreign oil. Fossil fuels are rapidly diminishing in abundance and we need to have foresight now to prevent a crisis later.

What do you want to do to help?: I am open as long as it does not interfere with my full time job.

Last year I helped so many members of Pickens Plan learn about personal home energy plans. It's all about conservation of power, and home power generation, things I have been doing at my residence to lower my electricity costs. Send me a friend request a to add me Michael, I'd be honored to have you as a friend here.

BTW, Texas: I just posted an article link on my pickens page about Home Wind Systems in Texas. Your state's representatives, governor, and public utility commission officials are not in your corner with this "weak policy" on Net Metering. Instead they have the tables turned against green power for businesses and homeowners. Texas has created multiple sets of rules for loopholes and you have less rights than people in other states. You should read that article, important.

I just wanted to introduce myself. I’m very excited about our community because I’m also a member of one.org (U2 – Bono – World Hunger) and have personally seen the results of people banning together and influencing our government. The Internet has made it possible. My interest is Ethanol and fuel additives. Please keep in touch. All the best, Luis Garcia…

I've been doing a bunch of reading online, and have found out that there are a bunch of ways we can all reduce our energy use (and therefore oil consumption) on an individual level. Smarter (and slower) use of your car is only the start.

All of these options are little things... however, little things add up. Not only will this not interfere with your full-time job, it will save you money (higher gas mileage, lower energy bills) and it'll also contribute to a healthier lifestyle!

I wrote a little blog entry on the subject... If you have the time, check it out... http://push.pickensplan.com/forum/topic/show?id=2187034%3ATopic%3A193424 Drop me a line and let me know what you think.

I'm trying to talk to as many people as I can in order to continue to add to my list of ideas as far as how to conserve more in my daily life (and also share what I've learned)... I believe that while we build and invest in large-scale solutions, we can also do a bunch of little things in the process.

Thanks for listening.
