Are you interested in becoming an organizer in your area?
Yes
Tell us about your experience with alternative energy:
There should be more emphasis on passive solar. I have been reading and playing ball by the light of the sun since my childhood in Amarillo.
I am a little younger than Boone but first met him playing basketball in Amarillo around 1945. Amarillo was windy. The AHS students were nicknamed Sandies, presumedly because of the sandstorms.
What excites you about this campaign?
Conservation offers a chance to delay a possible Malthusian dieoff. Windpower might help but subsidies make it difficult to evaluate EROI. I appreciate this opportunity to continue a hobby dating from the late 50's. I discussed Hubbert with Boone when he spoke at Cal Tech in 1985. I had the late Buz Ivanhoe put him on the free print mailing list for the Hubbert Center Newsletter when it started in 1996.
What do you want to do to help?
Discuss pickensplan on oily sites such as the oil drum, yuku downstream ventures, the Jay Hanson inspired sites at Yahoo groups and at the junk science site http://www.debunkers.org
The Hubbert Center Newsletter, funded by the late L. F. Buz Ivanhoe, was originally sent by mail. It was first copied for the internet by Jay Hanson and eventually evolved to http://hubbert.mines.edu. It is now archived at http://web.archive.org/web/20071030212804/http://hubbert.mines.edu/

Dear Bobby, did not mean to fly off the handle, the Sierra Club now endorses us trying to bring in my oither grouop to support us too, it just take a few to think of offing our wild life and polluting and such they will pull there troops out.I have worked hard on this transition. I know you are a up standing fellow Im 65 years old and a savivor of the 60's movement nothing new to me seen it all, 4 wifes 5 grand children and with all the aches and pains at time I may be short fused but excuse me if I sounded off guard just my nature to protect my people. Jeffrey
Here is the fellow that should be posted on you post office wall as wanted, Dear Jeffrey,
Maximus the grizzly bear was "a big, beautiful, wild bear," according
to grizzly specialist Mike Madel. "He kept to himself, stayed
out of trouble."
But he was gunned down in the prime of his life. Left to rot in a
Montana hayfield, his badly decomposed body was discovered a month
after being ruthlessly shot.
We've quickly moved to offer a reward to bring Maximus's
killer to justice. But sadly, this bear's story is not unique.
Poachers have recently ended the lives of some of our most endangered
animals including Florida panthers, southwest gray wolves and
California condors. In Idaho, a female wolf pup was illegally gunned
down from a roadway. And a thriving black market in bear gallbladders
and other parts is fueling a slaughter of bears across the nation.
Help us post rewards for poachers and alert the public as we aid law
enforcement in the capture of these heartless people. Please make a
donation today.
For more than a decade, Defenders of Wildlife has worked with state
and federal agencies, offering more than $245,000 in rewards to bring
these ruthless wildlife poachers to justice.
We're also pressing Congress to pass the Bear Protection Act to
end the trade in bear parts that encourages a terrible poaching
plague.
None of this work is possible without the caring support of
people like you.
Please make a tax-deductible donation today. Together, we can help
bring lawless wildlife killers to justice -- and ensure a brighter
future for our struggling wildlife.

P.S. From Maximus the grizzly to a recent female wolf pup that was
illegally shot in Idaho, poachers are taking their toll on our
wildlife. Please help us reach our goal of raising $25,000 to bring
poachers to justice and protect wildlife and wild places. You can also
dial 1-800-385-9712 to donate by phone.

Hello there, my name is Steve Sexton. I posted an article about energy independence for American industry at www.vocgen.wordpress.com.”
I want to share the article with Americans concerned about our energy situation.
I hope you enjoy the article and find it encouraging.
All the best,
Steve Sexton

Hi, No, I do not know him, but would like to meet him and other designers. Nuclear power here? I hope it doesn't come to the Big Island. We have enough things that "blow up" regularly.

As I keep telling people we aren't running out of oil, we've run out of Easy Oil
That's what people are having a hard time with .... take the folks who want all that kerogen buried in the piceance basin shale .
They seem to miss the fact that kerogen doesn't move through shale, unless you heat the rock to 650 degrees.
Now that I've checked Google, I've read another article written by the Professor...one written in 2003 predicted the rise in oil and natural gas prices...at the time he wrote it, oil stood at $40 a barrel..seems like so long ago!
I didn't read the Lawrence J/W this morning so missed the article...but I just now checked it out. There have been naysayers during this entire endevour. There are two more learned people at KU that obviously disagree with Mesler...one of them being Prof Dean...electrical engineering I think is his field...his wife Sarah sits on the Kansas Energy Council, or did last time I spoke with her at the Renewable Energy conference some 2 years ago.
I notice that Mesler's field includes petroleum engineering...I find that interesting as my brother's degrees are in chemical engineering. He now sits on several boards for Smith/Barney, NY...he tells me that wind energy is a hot button item with the finance houses. Those guys make money for a living.
Well, you were getting out when I was just starting my 'school days'. 48 was my first year.
Good old Lubbock sandstorms...had my first fender bender at 4pm, 2 blocks from home, all the street lights on and I couldn't see the end of the hood in one of Lubbock's signature sandstorms. Definitely don't miss that.
Bobby,
So far nothing of any substance has happened since Geary County passed favorable zoning for WECS. There's lots of interest though. Several met towers for testing were erected directly south of Junction City by Orion from California which was bought by BP...another company by the name of Zhilka (sp?) erected several and has since sold to Goldman Sachs and sold again to a Spanish company Iberdola, a company from Colorado has continued to work their towers south of I-70...they have been bought and sold several times...and Geary County is surrounded by counties all favorable to turbines, so time will tell. Have you any family still living south of Junction?
