Mike, I agree with your specific points and that it could also happen with energy eventually as you suggest.. However, I am still concerned that deregulation in 2011 will spike natural gas prices for at least a few years, until Wind, Solar, Geothe...
HI Nicholas,
I have thought about this a bit so by replying I am not disagreeing with you, just expanding the concept based on your points.
When telecom was broken up several things happened. The land line industry pretty much settled on a stand...
Mike, if we truly had a free market then price competition between utilities might work. However, even if you choose a different local utility the price differences are mainly pennies or just a few dollars. Just look at the telephone industry, eve...

Are you interested in becoming an organizer in your area?
Yes
Tell us about your experience with alternative energy:
I have been a great believer in Natural gas, wind, hydrogen, fuel cells etc. I have been a researcher and consultant to Mr. Pickens as well as Conoco, Exxon Mobil, TOSCO, and Shell oil companies. I have also been involved in in-fill drilling of natural gas in Oklahoma and Kansas.
What excites you about this campaign?
That it is being organized at the grass roots, is a people's campaign and is being led by Mr. Pickens.
What do you want to do to help?
Conduct National and Local attitudinal surveys among the public, media, business leaders, Congressmen, and environmentalists to learn what the public wants and how other constituent groups can be motivated to support a rational national energy policy which makes us independent of foreign oil.

I am presently working as a consultant for a Recycling Company that is presently investigating the possibility of building a Gasification Plant (natural gas) in the Philadelphia area. As I develop more information I will keep you informed.
