Freedom Engine and the Big Auto Bailout Pt.2
Some clarification- First off, Pickens recognizes some critical detail in the key problem of transportation. 18-wheeler trucks with multi-ton payloads, trucks, cars and mini-vans that carry tradesmen and women from town to town or more than 50 miles from job to job- none of them can work using even the best batteries we have. Batteries simply do NOT have enough energy density, not even the most advanced Lithium Ion batteries available. Hence Natural Gas, it burns cleaner. However CNG is still… Continue

Freedom Engine and the Big Auto Bailout
President Obama met with Big Auto...before he was President, to propose that they start innovating and delivering slightly higher efficiency vehicles. Big Auto basicaly gave him the cold shoulder. Well here they are now....hat in hand...begging for bailout.
My opinion is we should let them fail instead of rewarding their incompetence, laziness, and backward thinking. The same backward thinking that gave us SUV's, 20 or 30 mpg cars....and we're supposed to reward these people for… Continue

I am from Melba, would you please add me to your list. I am an intermediary specializing in funding large alternative energy projects in the US and globally. Maybe I could help. mlswaner@fmtcblue.com
We have petitions! "THE PLEDGE" is on the main page.
I think this is the very best tool we could ask for. It is so much easier to get someone to sign a petition than to go online and join the plan as a member.
I have been test driving it for a few days and got 200 signatures rather eaasily. Most folks had seen the ads or seen Boone on the news. Most were eager to sign it and strongly support it. A few wanted to get more info- I handed them a business card with the website. Very few said no (2 or 3).
I hope you can ask all your "friends" to download a bunch of PLEDGES and fax them back to the office ASAP. THIS IS HOW WE BUILD AN ARMY much faster. Millions of signatures.
Thank you for all your efforts. We have a very strong team. Many ants can take the Hill!

I too am a fan of the Prof. Becker of Aerotecture wind turbine design. I also would consider it a tragedy to manufacture it in China. It is a simple design and would work well in American manufacturing. They need government incentives to manufacture it here. 10 billion dollars per month to rebuild Iraq who has an almost 80 billion dollar budget surplus from the sale of their oil last year. Let’s put some of that back into a good American designed wind turbine and not force them to go foreign to become profitable. Let’s make this year the return to “Buy American”. (American Made Alternative Energy) wow, that should be on a T-shirt or something! Hey, thanks for your contribution to the Plan.

Thanks Kim! My wife and I are in the process of hooking up with Idaho State University and the Idaho National Laboratory to develop a new kind of engine which does away with the need for a transmission, has no pistons, no crankshaft, no valves, and can burn any liquid or gaseous fuels even fuels with up to 30% water content. This kind of engine can easily be integrated with electric motors on the same driving shaft. The bearings are ceramic so there is no need for an oil change- ever. It is self-cooling so there is no need for a seperate cooling system or a muffler since it is inherently clean, quiet, and efficient. It is the only engine that can be assembled by machine since there are no complicated mechanical assemblies, only having 2 moving parts per combustion chamber. This is the first truly 21st century engine.Sincerely,

The stars have aligned to create the possibility of a paradigm shift that is and has been urgently needed. We have an angry citizenry due to pain at the pump, a presidential election on the horizon, and a man with a plan to dramatically and imminently reduce our dependance on foreign oil, who has the resources, contacts and connections, knowledge and "will" to get it done.
Please share this plan with your circle of friends, family and associates. Unrge them to JOIN. As you know, it is simply like signing a petition. With large numbers of supporters, we can put pressure to bear on Congress to incentivize alternative and renewable energies, and insure that our future president will be a leader that will push for domestic energy solutions. JFK once said. "in the next 10 years we will put a man on the moon". He got it done. We need that kind of leadership on energy.
Time is of the essence. If gas prices retreat the public will forget the pain, and our moment may be lost. How frightening to be looking back and apologizing to our children that we could not get this done when we had the chance.
