Profile Information
- Are you interested in becoming an organizer in your area?
- Yes
- Tell us about your experience with alternative energy:
- I have been studying about wind energy as a passion and hobby for 10 years.
- What excites you about this campaign?
- I believe this plan is the closest idea yet for what we, as a nation, need to do to make us sustainable.
I believe we need to invest in our National Infrastructure to make us more energy independent in the next 25 - 50 years.
I have seen it as an obvious choice to build wind turbines in the Dakota's. I understand that there is an electrical distribution problem. So as we build up the energy production we also need to develop the transmission lines to get it to the appropriate places.
I am very excited that someone with the influence as Mr. Pickens is saying all of this.
- What do you want to do to help?
- I would like to be involved in any way. A facilitator, an educator, a job. This is the most important decision of the next 50 years. We can build more drilling platforms over the next 25 years and then be in a worse position in 50 years or we can start now to reclaim our future in the production of green renewable cheap energy.

Here is the best way we can to build this army and take this paradim shift to our new reality!
After you get your friends to join the site, and send your letters off to Congress....I hope you will work to join the "100CLUB"... for members that have faxed in 100 or more signed pledges.
PLEDGES are the vehicle that can drive our numbers, we need to use them! It is a very easy ask- Boone has done the hard work. All we need to do is hitch our wagon to his horse and plow to the finish. I have sent in 300+ so far. We have 48 friends, that I know of, who are working on the challenge. By the end of the week that will be 5,000 new supporters of this plan- 4 times the number that joined the plan online this week.... with just 49 people!
IMAGINE what we could do if everyone that said they would do
anything they could to get this done, joined the "100CLUB"
It comes down to.... DO WE HAVE THE FORTITUDE? I hope so. We aren't asking folks to take up arms. But this IS our revolution. And we have a very small window to get it done. Would like your help.

ARE YOU IN?

I live in Knoxville, and when I signed up to PickensPlan, I looked for groups in Tennessee. There were groups centered in Nashville and Memphis, but not Knoxville, and the activity and leadership in our state in general was kind of weak at the time. I began the group East Tennessee for Sustainable Infrastructure and I would appreciate any input. You can find it here
I can also answer any questions about the plan or navigation of the website.
Please invite friends to the plan, as we need all the help we can get for Congress to take us seriously. We wish to be millions strong by January. There is a now a button to contact congress and a pledge on this page
Thank you very much,
Eric Lykins, Pickens Plan Campaign Ambassador
Welcome and THANK YOU for joining Pickens Plan. We need your help.
There is a perfect storm of events happening right now that create the possibility of a paradigm shift that is urgently needed. We have an angry citizenry due to pain at the pump, a presidential election on the horizon, and a man with a plan to dramatically and imminently reduce our dependance on foreign oil, and provide a bridge to future solutions, who has the resources, contacts, knowledge, wealth and "will" to get it done.
Please share this plan with your circle of friends, family and associates. Urge them to JOIN. As you know, it is simply like signing a petition. With large numbers of supporters, we can put pressure to bear on Congress to incentivize alternative and renewable energies, and insure that our future president will be a leader that will push for domestic energy solutions. JFK once said. "in the next 10 years we will put a man on the moon". He got it done. We need that kind of leadership on energy.
Time is of the essence. If gas prices retreat the public will forget the pain, and our moment may be lost. How frightening to be looking back and apologizing to our children that we could not get this done when we had the chance.
