Profile Information

Are you interested in becoming an organizer in your area?: Yes

Tell us about your experience with alternative energy:: Founder of National Water Fund, a small non profit organization focusing on what is necessary to take this country to energy independence. Through the use of solar, wind, geothermal and the possibility of a Hydrogen Economy in association with ethanol and bio-diesel.

Currently the Principle Investigator of the Hydrogen Electric Generating Plant research project being conducted by National Water Fund.

Research data shows promise in developing onbaord/onsite Hydrogen fuel supplies that may allow a Hydrogen Electric Generating Plant employing closed loop technology to be scalable to vehicular applications as well as stationary generating plants of various sizes and applications.

National Water Fund is also developing a National Water System to act as a flood control-draught management system with a desalination component to achieve sustainable water resources throughout the nation in support of the agricultrual endeavors that would be required to shift to sustainable large scale production of ethanol and bio-diesel. This will be necessary even if cellulostic ethanol production becomes a reality.

National Water Fund is also exploring the possibility of using the thermo depolymerization process of Changing World Technologies, Inc in conjuction with algae as a feed stock. Advanced farming practices of particular strains of algae are currently a focus of DoE/EERE research. Algae is also useful in sequestration of carbon emissions from coal and natural gas fired power plants. The thermo deploymerization process yields a renewable light sweet crude that can effectively replace pretroleum crude oil for the production of diesel fuel and lesser hydrocarbon fractions.

I would personally recommend that carbon sequestration look towards supplying carbon dioxide to algae farming instead of subsurface retention. This would allow the benefical use of the carbon dioxide to resupply energy sources instead of just storing it away.

What excites you about this campaign?: Renewable energy infrastructure.

my congressman

signs PickensPlan Energy Independence Pledge.

Let's get them all folks!!!! Urge your congressman or congresswoman to sign the PLEDGE :)

>>>>>

What do you want to do to help?: Enable a Hydrogen Economy and encourage the development of a national water system to facilitate the sustained production of sufficient bio-fuels to achieve energy independence in the case a Hydrogen Economy is not accomplishable. Support and promote the PickensPlan where possible, as an important step in development of the renewable energy infrastructure this nation will need to accomplish and sustain energy independence. A sound future for this nation's forth coming generations through improving our national and economic security is a critical issue, in my opinion.

Declining Oil Prices – The Quest for Energy Independence in Jeopardy?

With oil prices falling from their high of $147.27 per barrel in July 2008 to below $40.00 just before Christmas, will this nation forget about developing energy independence?

I personally hope not. I light that OPEC has made 3 cuts in production(1) since oil prices began to tumble, totaling 4.2 million barrels a day. There is the possibility that oil will again approach $100.00 or more per barrel during 2009 – 2010.

A little addressed factor to our current economic dilemma is the rising costs… Continue

Go green: Algae could be next hot biofuel

Finally someone is taking notice to something that I have been saying since December of 2006.

Please note that Algae can be used for carbon sequestration from power plants fired by coal and natural gas. There is a company named Changing World Technologies. Inc that invented a process called Thermal Depolymerization which they are currently referring to by the name… Continue

Congratulations Senator Obama

Congratulations to Senator Obama on his win in the presidential election. This win brings to the forefront the need of this nation to establish energy independence. Sen. Obama has said in his campaign that he would remove troops Iraq, the national security risks through continued destabilization of the region increases. Removal of the troops from Iraq with out ensuring that the new government of Iraq can maintain its own sovereignty will lead to increased potential of that nation reverting to a… Continue

IRAQ "Leave" or "Stay" ???

Should this nation seek to leave Iraq as Sen. Obama has proposed during his campaign? or Should we stay until Iraq is secure enough to maintina its own security as Sen McCain has proposed during his campaig?

I will not answer that for you for it is up to you to decide which you feel is the best. I will however give you a look, my opinion, at both sides of the question.

To leave in a time frame proposed by Sen. Obama, which is what most Americans seem to prefer at this time, would probably save… Continue

5 Million challenge 20 million Challenge

I would suggest initiating a challenge to achieve a 5 Million member army with a target date of Election Day and 20 Million member army by the New Year. If these numbers can be reached, this nation will be well on its way to achieving energy independence.

1 million is good; do not get me wrong, it is not enough to convince congress or a new administration though. Move with the voice of 20 million strong though and you become a voice to be reckoned with.

And do not stop at 20 million, keep grow… Continue

REMARKS OF PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA

WEEKLY ADDRESS

The White House
Saturday, February 7, 2009

Yesterday began with some devastating news with regard to our economic crisis. But I'm pleased to say it ended on a more positive note.

In the morning, we received yet another round of alarming employment figures – the worst in more than 30 years. Another 600,000 jobs were lost in January. We've now lost more than 3.6 million jobs since this recession began.

But by the evening, Democrats and Republicans came together in the Senate and responded appropriately to the urgency this moment demands.

In the midst of our greatest economic crisis since the Great Depression, the American people were hoping that Congress would begin to confront the great challenges we face. That was, after all, what last November's election was all about.

Legislation of such magnitude deserves the scrutiny that it's received over the last month, and it will receive more in the days to come. But we can't afford to make perfect the enemy of the absolutely necessary. The scale and scope of this plan is right. And the time for action is now.

Because if we don't move swiftly to put this plan in motion, our economic crisis could become a national catastrophe. Millions of Americans will lose their jobs, their homes, and their health care. Millions more will have to put their dreams on hold.

Let's be clear: We can't expect relief from the tired old theories that, in eight short years, doubled the national debt, threw our economy into a tailspin, and led us into this mess in the first place. We can't rely on a losing formula that offers only tax cuts as the answer to all our problems while ignoring our fundamental economic challenges – the crushing cost of health care or the inadequate state of so many schools; our addiction to foreign oil or our crumbling roads, bridges, and levees.

The American people know that our challenges are great. They don't expect Democratic solutions or Republican solutions – they expect American solutions.

From the beginning, this recovery plan has had at its core a simple idea: Let's put Americans to work doing the work America needs done. It will save or create more than 3 million jobs over the next two years, all across the country – 16,000 in Maine, nearly 80,000 in Indiana – almost all of them in the private sector, and all of them jobs that help us recover today, and prosper tomorrow.

Jobs that upgrade classrooms and laboratories in 10,000 schools nationwide – at least 485 in Florida alone – and train an army of teachers in math and science.

Jobs that modernize our health care system, not only saving us billions of dollars, but countless lives.

Jobs that construct a smart electric grid, connect every corner of the country to the information superhighway, double our capacity to generate renewable energy, and grow the economy of tomorrow.

Jobs that rebuild our crumbling roads, bridges and levees and dams, so that the tragedies of New Orleans and Minneapolis never happen again.

It includes immediate tax relief for our struggling middle class in places like Ohio, where 4.5 million workers will receive a tax cut of up to $1,000. It protects health insurance and provides unemployment insurance for those who've lost their jobs. And it helps our states and communities avoid painful tax hikes or layoffs for our teachers, nurses, and first responders.

That's what is at stake with this plan: putting Americans back to work, creating transformative economic change, and making a down payment on the American Dream that serves our children and our children's children for generations to come.

Americans across this country are struggling, and they are watching to see if we're equal to the task before us. Let's show them that we are. And let's do whatever it takes to keep the promise of America alive in our time.

Thank you.

Email Your Senator Today!

I am concerned about the high percentage of our oil that comes from foreign countries. Even in December, as the economy was contracting, we imported nearly 70 percent of the oil we used and paid over $19 billion for it.

I am very interested in the aspects of The American Renewal and Reinvestment Act (H.R. 1) that include the promotion of alternative energy - wind and solar; the building out of a 21st century electrical transmission grid; and incenting trucking companies to upgrade from trucks running on foreign diesel to those running on domestic natural gas.

A Department of Energy study showed that developing our capacity to produce wind energy would not only replace 20 percent of the electricity we now produce using coal-burning plants, but would add 138,000 jobs in the first year and more than 3.4 million over a ten-year span.

Also, if we switch just 350,000 of the 6.5 million heavy trucks running on the nation's Interstate Highways to domestic natural gas from imported diesel, we could cut our oil imports by over five percent. In December alone that would have kept nearly $1 billion from being shipped off shore.

I hope you will join me in supporting these components of the Pickens Plan as H.R. 1 moves toward final passage in the Senate

I need you to contact your U.S. Senators to tell them to support the Pickens Plan. Click here to send an email today.

P.S. Savings bonds could be help in economic crisis.

While Washington tries to "fix" the banking and Wall Street mess created by subprime "gotcha" adjustable rate mortgages defaulting en masse, many of us are looking for a safer place to put at least some of our retirement, college funds, etc.

And we also want our country to become more energy-independent and our crumbling infrastructure repaired. But with things as they are, how can we accomplish these three objectives? A new form of U.S. Treasury savings bonds could be the answer.

Without U.S. saving bonds, we wouldn't have been able to supply our troops and allies like we did in World War II. If the U.S. Treasury issued energy independence and infrastructure savings bonds that paid an interest rate about 3 percent greater than the annualized FED rate adjusted for inflation, only be redeemable on their anniversary date(s), and what they pay is not faxed when they are redeemed at maturity, all three of these objectives can be achieved without any increase in taxes, especially if these funds were only employed as 1-to-2 matching funds.

Such bonds could increase employment enough to even reduce our taxes. Pass this idea on to your friends and then the politicians.

At 7:07pm on January 27, 2009, Michael Shawn Kendall said…: Hi Robert, Here is a way to help and give tools to all of us for getting more RE projects started. I have been pushing for the sell of US Treasury "Energy Independence Savings Bonds". Savings bonds are normally purchased in $25 increments. This gives a way for just about any American to tighten their belts just a bit by skipping a meal at McDonalds or Pizza Hut and buying a RE savings bond to support a project. I need help pushing this project in Washington DC, I've faxed and emailed many in Congress/Senate already and need others to do the same. My email is ke6cvh@yahoo.com. Here is a copy of a fax sent to Nancy Pelosi yesterday:
27FEB09

Honorable Speaker of the House Congresswoman Pelosi,

I am an Electronic Technician Chief in the US Navy with 27 years service stationed overseas. I’m outlying an idea to assist and work with current plans for achieving energy independence. I urge you, as speaker of the house and the driving force to form the select committee on energy independence and global warming, consider for discussion and introduction into the house US Treasury Savings Bonds for Energy Independance.
In WWII America sold war bonds supporting the war effort. When young, my mother told me her primary school raised enough money through bonds to build a tank to support troops. I am impressed with the patriotism and purpose of our greatest generation that accomplished so much.

Selling energy bonds for RE (Renewable Energy) development would lower foreign oil imports and assist with the complex problem of funding. Bonds sold as “Energy S” could support new solar trough plants, “Energy W” to support wind farms, Energy “H” to support hydroelectric plants, Energy “T” to support RE transportation such as electric bullet train routes powered by RE, Energy "C" COOPS for small communities only needing a small quantity of turbines, and Energy “I” for needed infrastructure high voltage power lines to the RE site. Bonds will have the project name and include an artist’s perspective of the project and an American flag. President Obama had great success with the internet during his campaign. In a similar manner, using the internet, energy bonds could have a website listing current projects and an “electronic checkout” could purchase a bond $25 or higher. Simpler methods of payment such as “PAYPAL” and credit cards would be available and after an electronic purchase is complete a color print out of the bond is available with a follow up of the bond in the mail. The website would limit quantity of projects for each category until funding is complete. After a project becomes funded, a new project will be available. A tab on the site will show history and status of previous projects. Purchasers may take great pride in “collecting” and displaying bonds of various RE projects and participating at different levels of financial support. Solar trough plants in the multi-hundred MW size capacity with molten salt energy storage in California, Arizona, and West Texas can provide a major portion of electric needs. North Dakota has potential to support 1/3 of our nations electric needs in it’s class 4 wind zone areas. There are plenty of suitable proposed wind turbine farms now around the nation to significantly increase our RE if funded. Mid sized hydro-electric has not been used in America to it’s full potential. Following the example of our neighbor, Canada, it would provide a significant increase in percentage of electric production. Developing all three we could provide the majority of our electric and heating needs through renewable energy in a "New New Deal" fashion allowing natural gas for transportation as T. Boone Pickens is working for. Bullet train routes have proven a viable alternative to commercial domestic air service and when powered by electricity provided by RE suppliers America would be in the forefront of world technology. Example, I heard of discussion for a commuter train from Denver to Colorado Springs. Such a route built as a renewable energy project with charter requirement legally requiring to only purchase electricity from available renewable energy sources would be a model example. There are many train routes, city bus systems, and government vehicles that can be converted to run from alternative energy sources and fuels. Jobs created would bolster the economy, lower trade deficit, and strengthen national security. I would take great pride in print outs of bonds with graphics of each project I supported and many other Americans would also. The energy bonds could have tax breaks. BLM lands may be a viable place to start for some projects.

I contacted the US treasury department and was told that the marketing department for savings bonds closed several years ago. I was told there would be problems because savings bonds are at the federal level while the projects will be at the state and local level. I disagree and believe that these can easily be figured out in the way of grants to the state and local level using money from the bonds for those specific projects. I was told to check out auctions on the www.treasurydirect.gov website and found them to not apply to citizens wanting to buy savings bonds to support a cause such as energy independance. I was told by the treasury department to look into CREB (Clean Renewable Energy Bonds). I found CREB to be large scale funding that a citizen would not be able to participate in as a US Treasury Energy Independance Bond would provide. If given the tools to participate directly, the power of the citizens of the United States to help achieve energy independance could not be denied. Americans mean well and the Energy Independance Savings bond program will give citizens the power at their level to make it happen. If marketed through a web page, commercials, and to federal employees the word would get out and participation would spread like wildfire.

Mr. Paul Gipe, a resident of Bakersfield CA, an author of several books about wind energy, and recipient of multiple awards as a pioneer in the industry since the 1970's has put a letter I wrote to Senator Dorgan on this subject as well as an older letter I wrote on wind COOP in JAN07.

What you can do to sequester carbon and improve the water cycle when you understand how to utilize Nature's graziers, domestic and wild, is unbelievable. I also follow the potential for geothermal as a truly multipurpose energy source.
