Three comments and a thought.
One, Hybrid cars are generally accepted to NOT be "the answer," what they are, like the Pickens Plan itself, is a bridge technology. Pure electrics, plug in hybrids, and fuel cell vehicles, if they can be made practica…

Profile Information
- Are you interested in becoming an organizer in your area?
- No
- Tell us about your experience with alternative energy:
- Really none yet. I think my parents had a solar collector on their roof at one time. I went to the (then) new wind farm just outside of Ainsworth Nebraska (father's home town) a few years ago and am facinated. I wanted to buy a hybrid when I bought my last car, but there was a 13 month wait at the time. When next I am able to buy, I will look hard at hybrids!
- What excites you about this campaign?
- More than anything, the fact that someone who holds sway with both sides of the political spectrum is standing up for alternateive energy! This will make it harder for the naysayers to pass this off as "tree hugging radicals." I also like the fact that there appears to be a comprehensive plan (although I've not studied the site as completely as I'd like to yet!) Finally, I like the fact that this route addresses both our economic need for energy, and our human need for a cleaner environment!
- What do you want to do to help?
- I've signed up for the Virtual March, and sent e-mails to almost my entire contact list encouraging them to look at the main web site and the march site as well. Beyond that, I don't know. I am currently out of work so my main focus is finding a job, but this does leave me with some free time. We are not in a position to host any events, and I'm not sure what else I can do, but I will do what I can.

"Welcome!" on behalf of the Pickens Community Welcome Wagon. Thank you for taking the time to join. In the past months, the Community has made a great deal of progress and the U.S. Congress knows the Pickens Army is on the march.

The Pledge-Fax Your Statement!!
Please read, sign, and fax to the number listed at the bottom of the Pledge page. It would be a great help to the Community if you could download the pledge, distribute, and persuade others to sign. The Community feels this is the best way to get the attention of state and federal lawmakers. Kim Anderson has other types of sign-up sheets. This is a great way to let lawmakers know of your interest in the reduction of foreign oil.
Please tell friends to check out the site and read the Pledge.
