Are you interested in becoming an organizer in your area?

Maybe--But Not Sure What to Organize

What do you want to do to help?

I would love to help expand the use and motivation to use the gas alternatives as in the CNG and bio Fuels. I think this is a real issue that starts with average citizens pushing for it in citys accross the country. More iNfo needs to be available. An easier access for individuals to have cars converted and more options to refuel. This is my mission.

THINK ABOUT PLUGIN CARS(OR BIKES).THEY CAN GET THEIR ENERGY FROM ANY NUMBER OF SOURCES,INCLUDING ELECTRICITY GENERATED FROM CNG OR BIODIESEL. BY GENERATING AT POWERPLANTS WE CAN CONTROL EMISSIONS TO A MUCH FINER AND EFFICIENT DEGREE.BUT WITH THE PICKENS PLAN YOU GET TOTALLY POLLUTION FREE ELECTRICITY AND NATURAL GAS AS AN AUTOMOTIVE BACKUP(IN HYBRIDS) AND POWER GENERATION BACKUP,AS NEEDED FROM AMERICAN SOURCES OF NATURAL GAS. WE NEED TO KEEP OUR $@HOME!MORE LATER,BRUCE M. GRAUER

At 8:28pm on August 4, 2008, Walter L. Ewald said…: Hi Tyna……thank you for joining! Education is the key to knowledge, but where do we start? After you familiarize yourself with the information at this website, a wealth of additional information is available. We can look to Europe as our inspirational model for developing sustainable renewable energy. Countries like Denmark, Germany and Spain lead the way in this effort and have been there for the past 10-20 years - even more. Germany’s commitment through cooperatives and local municipalities has installed 19,000+ wind turbines and millions of solar collectors, both for solar hot water and electricity feeding the power grid.

The onshore and offshore installation of wind turbines in Denmark and Germany are producing 20% of all their electrical needs; in Spain, as much as 38% (please see examples in the photos on my page). We are 10 years behind in implementation compared to these countries!

I mention these examples to give us a direction for inspiration and point to where we could be heading with the Pickens Plan. The technology is already there and we do not have to reinvent the wheel. These are a few of the websites I would suggest you visit to see what others around the world have done and are doing:

1) The Solar Village – Freiburg, Germany. See: http://www.thesolarvillage.com/
2) The Folkecenter for Renewable Energy – Denmark.
See: http://www.folkecenter.net/gb/overview/publications/
Under VARIOUS, read: The transition from Fossil Fuels to the Renewable Energies
The whole website is excellent and you could spend hours there.
3) Google: Samso, Denmark. This is an island off the coast of Denmark that is completely self-sustaining. http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2008/07/07/080707fa_fact_kolbert
4) Read the article written by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. titled: “Global Warming: A Real Solution”

Here are a few great videos to see: “Saved by the Sun” a PBS NOVA video, and “A Crude Awakening” by Basil Gemlpke, et al. Americans need to mobilize and pressure our government representatives both on the state and national level. The Pickens Plan is a good place to foster discussion and share ideas and PUSH this plan! We can all share in this vital common cause. Good luck in your quest for a better more secure America….. Ask your friends to join the “PLAN”. Lee Ewald
