Free Alternative Energy Available Now !
America Continues to Waste over 70% of the Energy it Consumes.
100's of millions of lights unnecessarily burn during the day and night, over heating and over cooling is the norm, over packaging, inadequate recycling, toxic landfills, horrendous road congestion, and our perverted obsession with road construction. Public and Private buildings, Schools, Churches, Homes, ... America's blatant energy waste and overuse is culturally pervasive, and abominable !
1- ONLY with a substantial and tangible economic reward/consequence will most Americans care to conserve.
Crude oil must be taxed at $200 per barrel and offset by making income tax begin at $60k.
Taxing energy is simple, fair, economically sound, and available TODAY.
2- The American auto industry must quickly transition to the 6.4 BILLION people reason$ to manufacture solar, wind, and other alternative energy producers. They already have the needed infrastructure. Every home and building in the world, could be using solar energy. We are fast running out of fossil fuels !
Humanity is racing toward extinction, via global warming, for our failure to stop our energy waste.
Taxing energy (in lieu of income taxes) is the ONLY incentive that will stop energy waste and cause renewable energy sources to be employed.

Gazprom gets major deal to supply gas to U.S.

MOSCOW — The world’s largest natural gas company, Russia’s Gazprom, has after years of attempts finally
gotten a foothold in the U.S., the world’s biggest gas market.
A supply agreement, part of a multipart contract reached with Royal Dutch Shell, was announced late Wednesday.
The contract, signed in Moscow by Gazprom CEO Alexei Miller and his Shell counterpart Jeroen Van der Veer,
guarantees the two companies will deliver 1 million tons of Russian liquefied natural gas annually until 2028.
Under the arrangement, Gazprom gets access to a Shell terminal in Baja California, Mexico, that will turn Russian
liquefied gas into gas that can be sent through pipelines to the United States. The LNG will be shipped from
Sakhalin Island in the Pacific.
In return, Shell gets an equivalent amount of regular pipeline gas for distribution in Europe, a statement by the
companies said.
Analysts noted that the U.S. market isn’t as lucrative as Europe, since U.S. natural gas prices are lower and
there’s more competition.
But the deal is still significant because Gazprom has tried for years to get a slice of the U.S. market; until now,
most of Gazprom’s gas supplies to the United States have been swap deals with other companies.
Gazprom has developed Sakhalin’s huge, difficult-to-access gas fields with an eye toward Japan and Western
markets. Officials recently celebrated the opening of Russia’s first LNG plant on Sakhalin — a major leap forward
for Russia’s efforts to be a player in the growing world market for LNG.
Japan — which will be the largest importer of gas from the Sakhalin projects — last month received the first tanker
shipments from the plant, which is expected to produce about 4.5 million tons this year.
No problems,thanks for the update.
Sincerely,
Peter
I recently sent you a proposal for a wind energy project near Ferndale, in Humboldt county. I think this proposal is the kind of idea you and Richard have been writing about. Getting a project started in Ferndale would help promote wind energy in other nearby areas of Humboldt county.
Yours, Parry
I just sent you and other members of the group a message. I hope you are interested in my idea. Your enthusiasm about wind energy was one of the reasons I looked into the community wind energy business.
Yours, Parry
Don't have your email or phone #. you can email directly at rgrabowski@mckinleyville.net with your phone #
How is it going up in Trinidad?
I attended Humboldt University and my girl friend lived near Patricks Point State Park so I know how very beautiful the area is around you.
Hey I was wondering if Senator Feinstein or Senator Boxer had been invited to Join?
I have phone numbers for their Washington Offices and was wondering if part of Pickens Plan was to stay focused on getting them involved.I took the time to contact Feinsteins' office a week of so ago,waited 10 or so minutes to talk to her via her secretary and encouraged her to hurry up and become part of the Army,however if you leave messages....especially for Senators you wonder if they ever receive them.
Sincerely,
Peter Hunt
Great report and enthusiasm...get it our there...personally I like the idea of the smoke signals a lot. If you're going to be holding classes in how to do that...I'll sign up.
Now let's see...what will we be using for fuel...how about our old ideas and behavior around excessive energy consumption and fossil fuel focus. Yeah...that's the ticket. Incinerating our former ignorance could build quite a fire. Hopefully it will flame hot enough and long enough to buurn a path to a more enlightened future.
We'll see.
Thanks for your energy...it's clean, renewable and contagious...the best kind,
Jack
