Conservation and Incentives

The "energy equation" is basically the balance between supply and demand. Higher prices are a natural consequence of increasing demand and tightening of the supply/demand balance - no conspiracy theories are needed to understand the problem.

There are only two basic approaches to solving the problem: 1) increase supply and 2) decrease demand. The right answer is to do both.

Increasing supply is a critically important part of the equation - it requires investment in both traditional sources and… Continue

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 Mike, 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.

We all share a common goal. Check our our Pickens group at "Live Carbon Free" and see what we are promoting. Conservation is a way for us to bridge the gap to the future of alternative energy. Alternative energy of any kind is a few years away from implementing and we can make a huge impact by simple discipline in our lifestlyes. We welcome you to join us at Live Carbon Free and value your input. I am also a member of another organization working is this area. Check it out at www.usgreenhome.info.

I saw your name on the "conserve energy" group... I'm all for conservation. I noticed you mentioned increasing supply and lowering demand... I cant increase supply, but I can lower demand...

I live in an apartment so solar panels and a tankless water heater are pretty much out of the question for me. I cant buy a new car (dont have the money) and as a professional drummer, I cant really take public transportation (hey, you try loading a drumset on a city bus after midnight)

However, I've already done several things... I believe we can reduce our energy use (and therefore our oil consumption) and in the process lower our energy bills, raise our gas mileage, and live a little healthier.
I posted a blog on the subject here http://push.pickensplan.com/forum/topic/show?id=2187034%3ATopic%3A193424 and I'm open to more suggestions. If you have a minute, check it out and let me know what you think

The potential for economic gain here is incredable, small towns could be brought out of economic downturns, new local money could be made, keeping it within communities, and communities investing in their immediate and long term futures.
