My best advice is to take advantage of the credits and tax deductions you can get from the state and federal tax commissions and start with energy conservation and efficient appliances, then add Solar PV Panels if your home is situated to use them...
Gerald,
Thanks you for providing this information. The long-term benefits will pay for the short-term costs in installation and the like. Energy independence is the goal and it's sure is achievable. This is what I heard yesterday from a reliable ...
The secret story. Start with insulation around your home or business then add a ground source heat pump and save 50% or more on energy cost then add solar panels or wind turbine. When you add solar panels or a wind turbine then you only need half ...
Well we did it. Purchased our first CNG car last night. Have to wait for it to get here from New York but we are very excited about filling up for $10.00

What excites you about this campaign?
Boone Pickens is behind it. His 60 years of experience and success in energy areas isn't debateable. Nobody is stepping forward with solutions, finally somebody with the knowledge, power and will steps forward. How could anybody NOT be excited?

Merry Christmas Nick,
This year I have helped so many members learn about personal home energy plans. It's all about power use, conservation, and home power generation, things I have been doing at my residence to lower my energy costs. Send me a friend request a to add me Nick, I'd be honored to have you as a friend here.
BTW, oklahoma: I just posted an article about Home Wind Systems in oklahoma. Your state's representatives, governor, and public utility commission officials are not in your corner with this "soft policy" on Net Metering. Instead they have the tables turned against green power for businesses and homeowners. You should read that article, important.
Chris joined Pickens Plan over the weekend, and already has 150 signed pledges from standing in line at the polls for early voting! He is going back again today. Another Pickens Hero.
We have new roof mounting residential wind turbine kits are shipping now. They are sleek, attractive, and well designed. These are actually a home appliance on the roof, much like an antennae or satellite dish. They are as easy to install as other home appliances, like dishwasher, home theatre, etc. It's a nice clean way for you to begin your Personal Energy Plan. These systems are inexpensive, easy to install, scaleable.
Your Wind blows stronger in winter, Your Sun shines stronger in summer. This hybrid wind/solar system combines these cycles to give a more even flow of energy year round. This homeowner sized wind/solar system provides free power for your home. Many customers have found it easy to become customer/dealers of our kits. Customers can become a dealer with no further investment, they see quickly how people are easy to get interested.
I have used the same systems save money on my electricity costs from day one and Nick, you can too. Your local wind resources are so good in Oklahoma. Check these windmaps and see can you pinpoint what number your area is in. Zone 2 is OK, anything over 2 is (very) good. First double check your wind resources from the map and links below.

Nick,
We are planning our big "Pickens U" role out this next week and we would like to use "Cowboys for Pickens Plan" as our official group for Oklahoma State.
Instead of creating an entire other group, I would like to work closely with you to make Cowboys for Pickens Plan the official Pickens Plan group for OSU.
If that's alright with you, please feel free to message me back or email me at Geoffrey@pickensplan.com.
You have done a fantastic job with the OSU group so far, and I would just like to see you continue that as the official OSU group of the Pickens Plan.
Welcome Nick and THANK YOU for joining Pickens Plan.
YOU CAN HELP BY BRINGING 5 FOLKS TO JOIN the site today, so that we can build a voice big enough that Congress will finally have to listen to us, instead of the lobbyists and special interests, who will certainly try to derail this historic effort.
PLEASE DOWLOAD THE PLEDGE on the main page. Print out 10 or more of them, get them signed and fax them back ASAP. When we are millions strong, we can achieve this.
In addition to the PLEDGE, we now also have a RED "CONTACT CONGRESS" BUTTON on the main page, top right. Fill out the standard form and the letter is sent to YOUR Governor and Washington Representatives! Easy breezy. Perfect timing considering the energy bill is coming up. We must beat back the lobbyists!
THERE IS NO TIME TO DELAY
...to wait and see...or to see if someone else will step up to the plate. It is time for US to roll up our sleeves and go to work. Right now momentum is working in our favor, but if gas prices retreat, the public will forget the pain, and our moment may be lost.
FOR MORE INFORMATION
Check out Pickens "August Call to Action"- for a course of action!
Here is an informative video "Topeka, Kansas Town Hall Meeting": http://www.pickensplan.com/news/2008/08/04/video-of-the-topeka-town-hall
PERSONAL ACTION OPTIONS
We need to do more than “preach to the choir”. Sharing ideas with each other is encouraging but that will not 1) increase our membership nor 2) influence public policy. If you know someone in the press or someone who blogs - get them to cover this. Write to your Congressman/woman. Ask those in the public eye to support this plan.
A GROUP FOR EVERYONE
Check out the many groups for Solar, CNG, your city or state, etc. Connect, learn and share. We grow stronger with your input. If you don't see a group that speaks to your interest, then start a group of your own.
PLEASE FRIEND ME so we can keep in touch. I do updates on new member numbers and help with the pledge petition drive.
Thanks again for joining us.

Please read my profile, after watching the 2 vids on my page, then my blogs.
I also ask every one to look at and consider this discussion, thank you.
Nick,
I read your invitation to T Boone, by way of Brett--
Good Luck--I hope TBP gets the invite--I'd think he'd love to do it--but, there are layers of people to protect people like him--and sadly, he may never even get wind of the offer.
If you do get him, though, we want him in SC, too--Good Luck--wm
