Are you interested in becoming an organizer in your area?
Yes
Tell us about your experience with alternative energy:
I am VERY interested in promoting Solar and Wind energy as a viable option for energy needs in this country.

Hi Phillip,
I joined Pickens Plan about a month ago, I just found your group here in Atl. and would like to keep up with what you guys are doing. I am located in Chamblee/Atlanta and am in Real Estate for 20+ yrs. I have been reading some of your comments, keep up the good work.

Is there a facility on this site to have a clendar embedded in a group's main page? I found mention of meeting(s) in the ATL area but came across them more by accident. If not, perhaps we could organize an email notification chain? Also, is there a list of activities that are already underway in ATL?
Anything about info in this area should help us all.
I would like to be part of this group. I am in Stockbridge, am a realtor here, and have interests in solar, wind, CNG and fuel-cell development and use. Please keep me in mind and let me know what is happeniong around here.
What I need, is modular solar array with a small starter kit that I can link together as I buy more modules. I would like to have an interface that will plug into my residential electrical and allow me to put power back into the grid. When I'm gone from home or during the daytime, I could be putting power in the grid and reducing my demand. If everyone could do this it would have to have some kind of effect on reducing demand in Georgia.
It should be simple enough and the cost low enough so the common citizen can participate.
I don't know if you are aware that Pickens is concerned that we have reached the global maximum flow rate of oil (peak oil) and are headed into decline.
This is something that will drastically change the way we live and we should be preparing for it at least mentally.
Hey Philip, Great to see the organizing efforts for Atlanta. I was an independent contractor with A.L Williams in 1980. I hope that the financial service people are being introduced to the Pickens Plan, as well as the real estate people.
I have several discussion groups on this site, to help organizers to recruit young people through coaching and mentoring, which I learned from Art Williams in the eighties, and now apply to every business sector, to promote energy in education.
ActiveRain.com has over 95,000 real estate professionals looking for a future in green development.
I can also offer groups access to EnergyTalk Radio LIVE Discussions; hosted by AlternativeEnergy.com at BlogTalkRadio.com/AlternativeEnergyCom
I am also active in promoting pickens energy plans: Push.PickensPlan.com/groups
which is a great way to promote biomass to the over 65000 members who have joined pickens army in less than three weeks.

After recovering from the intense launch, the campaign is now on the offensive. Have you finalized your event this week? Either way I'd like to speak with you about organizing.
