As a 25-year veteran in Power Generation & Energy Development, let me thank you for getting involved and extend an offer to provide insight and assistance in your local efforts. This is a very do-able plan and it starts with people like you in making it a success. The key to the plans success will be communicating to the masses.We need to communicate reality not dreams for unfortunately the American public has a very short attention span and most are living day to day. The Pickens Plan as it stands right now is at the 50,000 ft level. We need to develop a more comprehensive detailed national execution plan for the next five years. The first section should incorporate conservation and placing public pressure on elected officials at all levels of government to engage and approve a national plan while in parallel we are designing, constructing and installing the new alternative energy infrastructure systems. Once we have the grass roots base involved at this level, we can then continue to communicate the next steps of the plan to them to help bring us to the Energy Independence we are looking to accomplish .If there is anything I can do to help you in your organizing effort, please feel free to contact me.

Welcome Aboard;

Walking down Rue des Plantes with my father and son on a sunny morning in Paris was an experience made more surreal by the clacking cadence of my father's cane. My father has always been a man that walks with determination that results in a pace that requires a boy to jog. On occasion, I would be that boy jogging with my brother to keep up with my fathers pace towards the Frankfurt Auto Show. Now, the three generations of Schneider's took a leisurely 15 minute stroll down the street to catch the tram. We paid a few Eurodollars to obtain tickets from an automated machine near the tram station and were soon whisked off to the Paris Auto Exposition.

Upon our arrival, we used the official magazine of the exposition to determine which buildings housed the special reasons that we were making this journey. First, we located the facilities that housed the Honda Clarity – hydrogen powered fuel cell, the all-new Honda Insight Hybrid and the Honda CR-Z Hybrid prototype. The crowds reminded me of the efforts we would make to get a glimpse of the new offerings at the Frankfurt Auto Show. This time it was my opportunity to encourage my son to take advantage of a crease in the crowd to wedge our way to a full picture opportunity along with my father.

Surprisingly, the next special reason for this journey was in a neighboring booth where we spent time with the Aixam MEGA, City, Roadline, Crossline and Scouty. The Aixam MEGA is available as a diesel or full electric vehicle in Europe and the cab and chassis are imported to America where Columbia ParCar electrifies and completes the glider as a Neighborhood Electric Vehicle (NEV) in Reedsburg, Wisconsin. My understanding of the Aixam complete line up was supplemented by a couple additional electric vehicle manufactures that were represented in this hall. Mitsubishi was offering a test drive of their prototype – MiEV and the three of us experienced it with a host as I got to drive it. Since I have been driving a full electric Columbia Summit or MEGA for nearly two years, it was not as surreal as it would have been for most. But it was an experience that I was grateful for, none the less.

My father has been associated with Volkswagen since 1954 and that was the main reason for our having visited the Frankfurt Auto Show in the past.
So it was our next stop in Paris. The model of particular interest for me was Volkswagen’s Blue Motion Diesel. It is a new engine that uses low sulfur diesel and therefore will be made available in America. Honda has made a similar announcement and we did get information as well as the opportunity to see the four models that they offer the clean diesel option. Mercedes Benz was also showing their Blue Hybrid in the exposition. We were intrigued by the Nissan Solar concept but disappointed that the Nissan Cube Electric was not shown.

All in all, the show was beyond expectations and the journey back to the hotel included the walk past a restaurant that we choose that evening. And the clack of my father’s cane sounded the determination in his walk to enjoy genuine French Cuisine.

This is a general overview of the Paris Auto Exposition and more detailed experiences will follow-so stay tuned!

We need to drill NOW for our Oil independence and find a way to rid ourselves from foreign oil all together. Look what Russia is doing. This is only the start. Wind, Solar and other forms of energy are great..but what are we doing about our short term goals?

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, and is electric so it can make maximum use of wind or PV power. I invite you to visit my page to learn more about ETT

At 4:56am on July 27, 2008, Kim Anderson said…: PLEASE email the Pickens Plan video to everyone you know. Ask them to join. Ask them to pass it along. Time is of the essence. If every member had 10 friends join today, we could put the number of members over 1 million in a day!

Our leaders can not ignore millions of members of the Pickens Plan. One person can make a difference!

Let me know how it goes!
