However today I sent a letter to Boone asking for his help in locating a Commercial wind turbine for an Community College here in Oregon that trains students to become wind energy technicians...
This is the letter:

This is a group for people who are interesting in investing in the Pickens Plan both financially and globally. I am not sure how exactly to go about investing so I created this group to discuss what action we need to take to accomplish this.
Well William, I thank Paul for taking the time to TECHNICALLY spell out where you are possibly in error. I never said you were, only susceptical to error. And I applaude you for displaying an open mind to seek out what was told to you as fact. May...
Hey Bill,
Where is American investment??? That's the trillion dollar question! Uncle Sam has so polluted the playing field that no one with private $$$ is looking for anything right now. It really is a "why bother" phenomenon. The investemt commu...
I'll look into it myself. If this is in fact the case, I'm wrong for opening my mouth without taking the time to get all the facts. In this, I've learned well from my contemporaries. Thanks for pointing it out. So, where is American investment in ...
Ya know Bill, I was about to defend your arguments... We do need a solid manufacturing company that makes LI-ion batteries... until I looked closer.

You know, I'm curious about what purpose is served by the constant negativity? Somewhere along the line, Americans need to stop the whining and waffling and conspiracy rants and get to work making a difference. I've poured tens of thousands of my ...
YEP! That's what this country needs, a Prowler with a Black and Decker Lithium battery stacked onto the rear deck---right next to the Mr. Fusion machine. Ohhh Dr. Brown, we hardly knew ye lad.

Michael Shawn Kendall said… - Hi Trevor, Here is a tool for all of us to get RE projects started by selling 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 an RE savings bond to support a renewable energy project and save money at the same time for themselves. I need help pushing this project, I've faxed and emailed many in Congress/Senate already.If you agree with this plan please consider passing to other people in your district as it will be a great tool to get funding for PickensPlan projects through support of Renewable Energy projects. On my web page is a link for a new group that was started today called “Energy Independence US Treasury Savings Bonds” At your discretion I encourage you to join on the link as one of “my friends” and the join the group if you agree with the goals. I have created a group on PickensPlan called “Energy Independence US Treasury Savings Bonds” . It is currently listed as the number 3 group on the PickensPlan website and I encourage you to check it out, join if you like it, and become friends on my PickensPlan page. My email address is michael.kendall@ymail.com Here is a copy of a fax sent to Nancy Pelosi the other day:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.

RoseMarie LaCoursiere said… - Hello Trevor,
My name is RoseMarie LaCoursiere, I am new to PickenPlans.com and intrigued by your group. I will familiarize myself with the site, groups, join and determine with interested fellow PickensPlan Members how I can best support initiatives in this movement.
An interesting observation made in a short time as member is the fact that there's tremendous 'American Energy' flowing throughout the site by way of posting, groups, discussion boards, et all -- and noticing that there's tremendous opportunity for anyone genuine about taking a stand and leading groups, missions...etc., In running quick searches tied to commitments made through sourcing, or employment banks, etc., and that 'overall organization' that propels people, projects, performance..........profits seems absent.
I certain it is all part of the 'Plan' in generating much needed community drives in 'making some noise' and pulling friends, neighbors, family, business and leaders into the mix.
Your group concept is an excellent one, and it will surely draw a great cast of business geniuses front-row-center. Please count me in as a creative thinker highly interested in making great works happen..... My strengths are in Ground-Up organizations that require strategic alliances and forward moving initiatives the generate business.
I wish you the very best in successes, may this group make the spectacular happen!

Nancy Ellen Richardson said… - Hello, Trevor...What a great idea this is. I would like, very much, to be part of this group. There are ways, I feel, we can get free money to help us fund our project. I would like to be the one to help in this venue...I am a GrantWriter and would be interested in being the one to be considered in obtaining grants for our fund.. Does anyone know how to get in touch with Mr. Pickens, personally, by phone? I will try looking that up, too.

Vinograd said… - with a group of friends we have started to study the feasibility to start a small wind farm . We may have the possibility to buy a piece of land with average wind speeds of 8m/s in a State where the utilities must buy back the production; but in to day world a "small wind farm" is about 30 MW and the total investment around $ 50,000,000.
Such a wind farm could very likely be done in 2 stages but it still means we need to finance $ 25,000,000 and have no revenues for nearly 2 years .
The question is : will you be ready (of course after more detailed info is given to you) to invest $ 1,000 minimum in such a project ? will we find 25,000 other Picken friends to do the same in order that together we become shareholders of a Company that will not only talks well but acts ?
and when windfarm # 1 is working,producing electricity and making money we would together research and do the same for wind farm #2..
All comments will be welcome
