Are you interested in becoming an organizer in your area?

Maybe--But Not Sure What to Organize

Tell us about your experience with alternative energy:

Living in Alabama, the availability of alternate energy sources is slim to none.

What excites you about this campaign?

Over the past 8 years, the Bush administration and Congress have racked up a whopping 9 trillion dollar deficit and growing. The american people have been neglected by a government who is concerned with nothing but bickering over issues that will not even solve our problems. The reason this campaign excites me, is because I do believe we have the technology and ability to break our dependence on foreign oil. If our government would invest money in upgrading our failing infrastructure and alternative energy it would create jobs for thousands and thousands of Americans and help boost our crippled economy.

What do you want to do to help?

Not real sure at this point. The best option is to probably just make people aware of this campaign. I am a recently graduated Civil Engineer. I hope to one day make a larger impact through new ideas and designs that are more efficient than what is currently practiced.

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 focus on 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, less expensive than freeways, and is electric so it can make maximum use of wind or PV power. With your engineering and science experience I thought you might want to learn more about ETT
