- What excites you about this campaign?
- The goal of replacing the United States' dependence on foreign energy sources in order to protect this nation's ability to safeguard our current standard of living for our children, our grandchildren and future generations.
In addition, it is wonderful the way we are all connected around the world here at The Picken's Plan for a common cause like renewable energy development---a cause that I believe honors God.
- What do you want to do to help?
- As the new Congressional District Leader for the City of Philadelphia and Region, assemble and unite as many new Philly area members for The Pickens Plan as possible---the sky is the limit! All are welcome to participate in activities and events! See you there!
Assemble a U.S. Renewable Energy Advisory Board Team for American Land Recycling's efforts to develop renewable energy facilities (solar, etc.) on brownfields and land, as well as for Fortune 500 corporations, government and non-profit organizations such as educational institutions.
I can reach out to real estate investment companies, as well as service firms to push the Picken's Plan through the new group: U.S./Global Investors and Service Firm Executives for Renewable Energy and The Picken's Plan, which I formed.
Also, my staff and I can compile and edit the writings and photos for the group which I recently formed, BOOK PROJECT #1: GLOBAL VOICES: Stories & Ideas on Why We Need Renewable Energy and The Pickens Plan NOW (which requires that every person ages 1-101 include a signed and completed Pledge). The final book can be distributed to public decision makers and the general public, assisting The Pickens Plan.
Lastly, I can also reach out to Fortune 500 Utility Companies' real estate acquisitions departments and explore mutually beneficial relationships where ALR serves as a landlord/lessee/sublessee for the utility right-of-way in order to promote the faster assemblage, severance, acquisition and development of land for renewable energy source production.
This way, utilities are free to focus on their core businesses, not real estate ownership and management.
And, we at ALR, will reach out to decision makers through the tools provided on Picken's Plan, as well as our existing networking sources.

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.

I have a land recycling project in Arnold MO, 63010
I am interested in building LEED Certified buildings for 70 units Per acre
PLUS retail on the ground floor, totalling 5 stories.
I have the plans, the cashflow numbers, the ground, (for now), and the design and marketing capacities as well as the construction management know how to get it done.
Here is the bonus; The buildings are USE POSITIVE Energy concepts.
That is,.. they PRODUCE MORE ENERGY THAN THEY USE.
Using a combination of solar and hydrogen designs for energy managment we actually generate more power than we use during off hours between Midnite and 5 am.
Please call or provide a number to reach you.
I'd like to discuss the projects as a template to more opportunities that, as in the case of this project, would again concentrate affordable housing, energy management, and lifestyle improvements for the public whose only objective is to live a little better life. These are not the McMansion crown, albeit I am sure there may be a few Former MM people out there who can only afford these high efficiency lifestyles we can offer.
Please let me know if you are interested in participating in a great way to re use land in suburban and urban areas.
let's get started. What are your ideas? What are your plans? Do you plan to have a meeting? Your page was great. There is a lot of energy out there waiting to be funnelled. We've got to reach out to the people and gain their interest and trust and educate them. this is the only way change can take place quickly.

I'd like to visit with you sometime. As a jobber in the oil biz since 1967 (I was a kid but still helped build the stations) I have spent a period of my life a few years ago working with Superfund to rehab a number of stations.
I am very familiar with this work.
I would like to hear from you when you have time.
Steven Robinson
