Tell us about your experience with alternative energy:: I am an architect and believe that energy conservation is an integral part of 'alternative energy' plans. Green design and intelligent urban planning can be an important part of the United States energy independence--building production and operation use significant resources and energy. We can build better buildings an require less net energy.

What excites you about this campaign?: Improving United State independence from foreign oil.
increasing US technology to develop an economy beyond oil.
reducing global warming CO2 production. Grassroots organization illustrating how important this is. The US economy depends on these decisions.

What do you want to do to help?: not sure...talk with friends to promote the idea.

TRANSPORTATION is the master key to basic survival, and the cornerstone of the economy. We all know that transportation presently depends on oil production, and oil production is peaking. We must focus first on transportation – it is the highest priority. The PickensPlan to transition vehicles to natural gas is a great start toward 100% energy independence, but is a stop-gap measure till we can transition to all electric transportation. Electric energy is strained without adding transportation demands; so we must implement drastic efficiency improvement.
Evacuated Tube Transport (ETT) is a patented technology where travel occurs without air friction or rolling resistance (like “Space Travel on Earth”); ETT can accomplish 50 times more transportation per kWh (or carbon credit) than electric cars or trains. ETT is silent, low cost, safe, faster than jets, and is electric so it can make maximum use of wind or PV power. I invite you to visit my page to learn more about ETT
