My name is Jen. I live in Park Ridge, IL. I was wondering if there was anything that I could do to help with the Pickens Plan?

Energy was the most popular subject, with ideas and commitments coming from all corners of the room. One man from southeast Ohio spoke advocating passage of HR 1835. Others brought forth ideas from their companies working on waste-to-energy technology. When I introduced myself as a Pickens Plan District Leader, the response was positive, especially when I spoke about energy crops, soybeans and sugarbeets.
At the table in front of me was Trish McCullough, Regional Liaison for Congressman Zack Space (OH-18) in Dover, OH. After the forum ended, we discussed HR 1835, and exchanged contact information.
I was Mr. pickens on FOX News this week and was very inpressed with what he had to say, and as a small business owner would like to learn more about what i can do to ensure this movement succeeds. From maintaining wind generation facilities to working with other small business owner to spread the word.

Hi Mike,
Extended an invitation to the Ohio People to come on the show today---guess they were busy. Please tell everyone that next Wednesday Boone will be on The Revolution Show and we hope they will all call in. The following week, our guest will be Dea Riley, who is running for Lt. Gov. in Kentucky. Hope some of the Kentucky Pickens People can call in to tell her what they want in energy. We really want to keep the energy, natural gas and Pickens Plan story out in front.
Thanks for your help,
John
ADVANCED-ENERGY BUSINESS INCUBATOR IN WARREN, OHIO
When I appeared on the Green Revolution Show (Wed-25-Nov-2009) I described the Youngstown-Warren Ohio region (in NE Ohio and W Pennsylvania) is a hotbed for Green Energy technology and business opportunity.
The Youngstown Business Journal published this article (Copyright 2009 The Business Journal, Youngstown, Ohio) which can be read on the OH-17 District Group Page.

NorTech to Help Launch Warren Incubator
-- 12/15/2009
Dec. 22, 2009 6:48 a.m.
By Dennis LaRue
WARREN, Ohio -- Possessed of a vision and fortified with $2.7 million in federal and state grants and another $1.7 million in private funding, a steering committee of 26 will, over the next 10 months, work toward the birth of an advanced-energy business incubator downtown.
Midwife to this birth is Rebecca O. Bagley, president and CEO of NorTech, a consulting firm based in downtown Cleveland whose tagline is “Growing Northeast Ohio’s High Tech Economy.”
Bagley, U.S. Rep. Tim Ryan, D-17 Ohio, state Sen. Capri Cafaro, D-32 Hubbard, state Rep. Tom Letson, D-64 Warren, and Mayor Michael O’Brien, outlined their vision Monday of what such an incubator might achieve in the fields of “advanced energy and flexible materials.”
Long on optimism and short on specifics, the four expressed hope the incubator will rejuvenate manufacturing in Mahoning Valley through infant enterprises that one day produce parts for windmills, geothermal, solar and nuclear energy plants and sources of energy other than petroleum, coal and natural gas.
“Four hundred tons of steel go into a windmill,” Ryan noted.
Bagley offered a number of people she expects would be employed in the incubator -- “50 to 70 jobs” – rather the number of companies that would be housed there.
