Happy New Year 'Virginia,
Last year I helped so many members of Pickens Plan learn about personal home energy plans. It's all about conservation of power, and home power generation, things I have been doing at my residence to lower my electricity costs. Send me a friend request a to add me 'Virginia, I'd be honored to have you as a friend here.
BTW, Texas: I just posted an article link on my pickens page about Home Wind Systems in Texas. Your state's representatives, governor, and public utility commission officials are not in your corner with this "weak policy" on Net Metering. Instead they have the tables turned against green power for businesses and homeowners. Texas has created multiple sets of rules for loopholes and you have less rights than people in other states. You should read that article, important.
I just wanted to take a second of your time to invite you to view, a Solar Solution!

Please take a look at the executive summary on my page. We are in the process of establishing a nonprofit innovation laboratory in Houston Texas dedicated to inspiring young people to pursue technology careers and to the development of the next-generation of strategic technologies to meet our current global challenges. Alternative energy is a major focus of our program.
Right now, we are in need of people willing to sponsor our efforts or to finding sponsorship for us.
We believe this can be the beginning of an effort that can spread to other areas of the country and create a critical mass of new technology ideas and innovative technologists to meet the challenges.
Any assistance you could provide would be appreciated.
Best Regards,
Norman
Do you have many investors yet?
What type of cost do you project to the consumers?
1) Much of the investment required for ETT implementation has been made by the many companies that presently have the means to implement ETT or portions thereof. The company et3.com Inc. holds the patent for ETT, and is an open consortium of licensees who desire to leverage their collective investments to implement ETT. Shares of the company are compensatory shares under SEC rule 701 issued to licensees who perform services to achieve the company mission of ETT implementation. The company is privately owned by the licensees of the company. The company is not publicly traded; we do not solicit or accept investment from the general public.
2) The cost of ETT transportation can be about 1/10th the cost of flying for any route with enough demand to warrant the construction of a 6 lane freeway.
This sounds very interesting to me... Did you ever read the book or see the video perhaps that was out a few years back by Richard Hoagland, "The Monuments of Mars"? Not that this sounds like science fiction to me, it just reminds me very much of seeing the pictures on mars of tube looking things... perhaps a similar transportation system existed at some point in the past on mars?? Just a thought... I think this sounds like it could work. What kind of cost are we talking about here?
Virginia,
I have looked at the NASA photos Hoagland refers to and it is true that there appear to be tube like structures on mars -- also could be sand dunes in the bottom of old river beds as some have pointed out -- interesting to speculate about.
We did a detailed cost study in 2002-2003 for the Florida High Speed Rail Authority (FHSRA). The RFP for Tampa-Orlando was 96 miles and called for 3 stations and vehicles to meet the minimum capacity stipulated was $253m in 2002 dollars. That is less than 1/10th that of High Speed Rail and about 1/4th the cost of a 4 lane freeway.
