Profile Information
- Are you interested in becoming an organizer in your area?
- Yes
- Tell us about your experience with alternative energy:
- We are a non profit organization, Sons of Toil Foundation (www.SonsofToil.org), in Central Florida that Researches, Develops and Utilizes new methods of energy conservation/renewable energy through our Programs.
Our main program is our Apprenticeship Program, our Organization not only uses and develops alternative energy methods, but trains American Workers traditional trades by Fourth Generation Master Craftsmen and Green, Energy Efficient, Safe, Building Methods.
Our main Fundraising Program is the construction of a Green/Energy EfficientHome, 2008DreamHOme.org, the "classroom" for apprentices, journeymen and master craftsmen, an educational tool for the public, associated building industry and agencies for Green/Safe/EnergyEfficient Alternative Building with Traditional Craftsmanship; Each home is then "raffled" after construction through a game by chance, a ticket can be obtained for a minimum donation of $100 giving the opportunity of home ownership to the masses. This funds the construction of the next Green Home Giveaway, giving a "classroom" to teach, develop new ideas, and to learn how to improve our community at the roots.
This cycle repeats itself indefinitely once started, with only positive effects on increasing skills of the American Worker/enabling better employment opportunities, providing jobs, increasing Green/Safe/Energy Efficient Building in America, Reducing Energy Costs locally, regionally and nationally.
Other programs that our 2008DreamHome.org Green Home Giveaway supports is our charitable involvement with the U.S. Solider Outreach Program (improving the lives of soldiers by increasing morale, safety, and well being), Feeding the Hungry and Homeless, in association with RockforHunger.org, Verniece Roberts Benefit (Verniece 8, was diagonsed with Leukemia, fundraising to help family with medical bills and support her through this hard time), saving and protecting animals and help those who are in need.
When additonal Chapters of the SONS OF TOIL FOUNDATIOIN are formed in every major city and county accross the United States, a major movement will be made and felt. We will work with and support any other person or organiaztion that is on the same page.
- What excites you about this campaign?
- EVERYTHING, knowledge is key, education is the strength to turn the key to unlock the potential. Education is work, working hard is what America was built on. The SONS OF TOIL are brass roots, old school, work hard and you shall receive. We must work hard to teach and educate the people.
- What do you want to do to help?
- If we can unite, we can conquer.

Gems ~ Xtreme Makeover ~ Earth Edition
It all began with a formula and a hypothesis and now Gem Energy is proven power which emits a very low frequency and produces several forms of energy, including Alternate Current, Direct Current, and Pulse Power…!G.E.M. Technologies has completed 4 rounds of testing on its Self-Sustaining Energy Process and has now proven Gem Energy to be safe, clean, and sustaining. Further research and testing is required to further define and evaluate this breakthrough energy process and delivery system.
By tapping into this inexhaustible unified field of energy we not only revolutionize the world's economy, we restore the Earth's atmosphere, water sources, and air quality, while simultaneously protecting and preserving all forms of life on our planet for future generations to come...
G.E.M. Technologies is seeking potential partners and/or investors to fund additional testing & prototyping for the development of this technology. Omega Energy Cell are visionary products. Once designed these energy cells will be inexpensive to reproduce, will never need recharging, and will produce zero emissions.

Let me start by thanking everyone who is part of the search for solutions to our collective independence from foreign oil and climate endangering use of gasoline and diesel vehicle fuel.
One of the largest obstacles locally to T. Boone’s plan is the lack of open to the public CNG fueling stations, and the fact that few if any are in the planning stages. To correct this and allow for Central Florida to become part of the solution to our collective problem, I am looking for assistance from legal and accounting professionals that would be part of a group to study the feasibility of establishing a not for profit corporation.
The not for profit corporation would be used to jump start the establishment of Central Florida CNG and Hydrogen fueling stations that would be open to the public. By establishing open to the public CNG and Hydrogen fueling stations the public would be encouraged to purchase or convert vehicles to CNG, and would allow companies like Honda to make available Hydrogen vehicles like the FCX Clarity. At present Honda is producing the FCX Clarity only in limited quantities and those vehicles will not be available anywhere in the southeastern U.S. because we have no open to the public Hydrogen fueling stations.
I am also looking for people with prior fund raising experience and volunteers that would be interested in pushing this agenda. Anyone who is interested in discussing this further is encouraged to contact me either by Pickens Plan email or forum post on the Local projects group forum “Starting a CNG fueling station”
Just wanted to take a second of your time to invite you to view the solar solution equivalent of the PickensPlan.

Thank You For Your Time
Last December, Congress amended the national Renewable Fuel Standard, setting a goal that the U.S. will produce a whopping 36 billion gallons of renewable fuel by 2022. It's no surprise that much of this renewable fuel will be ethanol.
Given the rapid industrialization of Asia, global demand for fuel ethanol is steeply increasing and is expected to do so in the foreseeable future. In order to satisfy this big demand, let alone meet the Renewable Fuel Standard, there is a growing concern that the standard U.S. practice of mass producing fuel ethanol from corn won't be feasible. There simply isn't enough corn acreage available in America to meet the future domestic and international demands for fuel ethanol.
Scientists contend that the answer to this problem is cellulosic ethanol, a technology that is now under furious research and development at many universities, national labs, and private industries across the globe.
This is an interesting technology, because it makes ethanol from cellulose feedstocks such as ordinary trees, perennial grass and cropland residues instead of food crops such as corn or sugar cane.
Scientists contend that cellulosic ethanol, once it is perfected, can significantly reduce America's imports of foreign oil, while creating a big variety of "green collar" jobs including farmers, truck drivers, business professionals, engineers, and scientists.
Before cellulosic ethanol becomes a commercial reality, there are many technology hurdles to overcome. Crop scientists and chemical engineers are furiously studying the genetics, the molecular structure, and other biological aspects of trees and plants in order to improve the efficiency of cellulosic ethanol production.
Last year, our country embarked on a once-in-a-generation effort to study the underlying science needed to improve processing efficiency. In the meantime, scientists are making great headway. For example, the U.S. Department of Energy recently awarded $125 million to establish the Great Lakes Bioenergy Research Center, a partnership between Michigan State University and the University of Wisconsin, to study the science of processing cellulosic ethanol.
Also, Michigan State University and Michigan Technological University recently partnered with the Mascoma Corp. (a Massachusetts company), to build a cellulosic ethanol plant in the Michigan Upper Peninsula.
Last May, at a scientific lecture in Copenhagen, Denmark, by Dr. Niels Lagvad of Danish Biogasol Corp. (www.biogasol.com). It was revealed that this company now has a proven, turnkey system to mass produce ethanol from a big range of perennial grasses and hemicellulosic feedstocks. He referred to the process as a "bolt-on, second-generation ethanol plant" which, in essence, attaches to the back end of a conventional plant making ethanol from food crops. "Second generation ethanol" refers to the use of non-food feedstocks to make ethanol, whereas, "first generation ethanol" refers to traditional methods that use food crops such as corn and sugar cane.
The immediate U.S. market for this Danish technology is to retrofit American corn-to-ethanol plants. In this concept, corn stover (corn leaves, stalks, and cobs) and distillers' grain (a voluminous, natural by-product of the corn-to-ethanol process) would be used as inexpensive feedstocks for ethanol production. The technology is now in the demonstration phase; a full-scale plant is planned for 2010 in Boardman, Ore., as part of a joint effort between the U.S. Department of Energy and the Pacific Ethanol Corp.
Danish Biogasol also markets the same technology to electric power plants, regardless of whether the electric plant is fueled by coal, nuclear, natural gas or oil. Why this terrific market? Electric plants routinely produce massive amounts of waste heat. This waste heat is harnessed by the ethanol plant, which in turn greatly reduces the cost of ethanol processing. Imagine a line of semi-trucks, all loaded with massive bales of locally grown perennial grass, driving to the local electric plant - which makes fuel ethanol too.
I am excited to imagine where this technology is headed because America is blessed with abundant trees and native grass. I believe we're in for some hopeful times ahead: new jobs from locally made auto fuel with no imported oil.
Thanks,
Billy
P.S. you really have a great oranization!
We are all on the same page. We have to get every American focused on the issues. Check out my blogs and our Pickens group; Live Carbon Free. We are promoting conservation and environmental stewardship. All forms of energy, whether more drilling or alternative energy are a few years away. We can make an immediate difference by our lifestyle habits. I am also involved with another organization that has been promoting conservation and environmental steewardship for almost a year. We are making a difference.
I am in Citrus County (Crystal River - Inverness) and we have the central ridge library room reserved for a PP meeting on 6 Aug at 3pm
