Dr. Hans J. Kugler, PhD said… - Helen:
Show him our data! Investing only half of the lifetime cost ($ 10 billion) of a nuclear reactor in $ 5,000 additional incentives (on top of present incentives) to homeowners for installing 3 kw solar electricity systems would equip (10 billion divided by 5,000) 2 million houses with a 3 kw PV each.
Total electricity production: 4 TIMES THAT OF A NUCLEAR REACTOR.
Benefits: 2 million houses with no more electricity bills, no 7-year wait to build the nuclear monster, no radioactive waiste, etc., etc.
For details click on ElToroEXPOSED.com, and check out "NUCLEAR vs. PV, which makes more sense?"
Or have them watch Amory Lovins (Rocky Mountain Institute) testifying in Washington about nuclear energy.
PS: Ask the nuclear supporters if they knew how long it took to build and certify the last US nuclear reactor: Answer: 23 years.

Michael Shawn Kendall said… - Hi Helen , Here is a tool for all of us to get renewable energy going. I am working the introduction into Congress a bill for US Treasury "Energy Independence Savings Bonds". Savings bonds are normally purchased in $25 increments. This gives a way for just about any American to tighten their belts just a bit by skipping a meal at McDonalds or Pizza Hut and buying an RE savings bond to support a renewable energy project and save money at the same time for themselves. I need help pushing this project, I've faxed and emailed many in Congress/Senate already.If you agree with this plan please consider passing to other people in your district as it will be a great tool to get funding for PickensPlan projects through support of Renewable Energy projects. On my web page is a link for a new group that was started today called “Energy Independence US Treasury Savings Bonds” At your discretion I encourage you to join on the link as one of “my friends” and the join the group if you agree with the goals. I have created a group on PickensPlan called “Energy Independence US Treasury Savings Bonds” . It is currently listed as the number 3 group on the PickensPlan website and I encourage you to check it out, join if you like it, and become friends on my PickensPlan page. My email address is michael.kendall@ymail.com Here is a copy of a fax sent to Nancy Pelosi the other day:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
27FEB09
Honorable Speaker of the House Congresswoman Pelosi,
I am an Electronic Technician Chief in the US Navy with 27 years service stationed overseas. I’m outlying an idea to assist and work with current plans for achieving energy independence. I urge you, as speaker of the house and the driving force to form the select committee on energy independence and global warming, consider for discussion and introduction into the house US Treasury Savings Bonds for Energy Independance.
In WWII America sold war bonds supporting the war effort. When young, my mother told me her primary school raised enough money through bonds to build a tank to support troops. I am impressed with the patriotism and purpose of our greatest generation that accomplished so much.
Selling energy bonds for RE (Renewable Energy) development would lower foreign oil imports and assist with the complex problem of funding. Bonds sold as “Energy S” could support new solar trough plants, “Energy W” to support wind farms, Energy “H” to support hydroelectric plants, Energy “T” to support RE transportation such as electric bullet train routes powered by RE, Energy "C" COOPS for small communities only needing a small quantity of turbines, and Energy “I” for needed infrastructure high voltage power lines to the RE site. Bonds will have the project name and include an artist’s perspective of the project and an American flag. President Obama had great success with the internet during his campaign. In a similar manner, using the internet, energy bonds could have a website listing current projects and an “electronic checkout” could purchase a bond $25 or higher. Simpler methods of payment such as “PAYPAL” and credit cards would be available and after an electronic purchase is complete a color print out of the bond is available with a follow up of the bond in the mail. The website would limit quantity of projects for each category until funding is complete. After a project becomes funded, a new project will be available. A tab on the site will show history and status of previous projects. Purchasers may take great pride in “collecting” and displaying bonds of various RE projects and participating at different levels of financial support. Solar trough plants in the multi-hundred MW size capacity with molten salt energy storage in California, Arizona, and West Texas can provide a major portion of electric needs. North Dakota has potential to support 1/3 of our nations electric needs in it’s class 4 wind zone areas. There are plenty of suitable proposed wind turbine farms now around the nation to significantly increase our RE if funded. Mid sized hydro-electric has not been used in America to it’s full potential. Following the example of our neighbor, Canada, it would provide a significant increase in percentage of electric production. Developing all three we could provide the majority of our electric and heating needs through renewable energy in a "New New Deal" fashion allowing natural gas for transportation as T. Boone Pickens is working for. Bullet train routes have proven a viable alternative to commercial domestic air service and when powered by electricity provided by RE suppliers America would be in the forefront of world technology. Example, I heard of discussion for a commuter train from Denver to Colorado Springs. Such a route built as a renewable energy project with charter requirement legally requiring to only purchase electricity from available renewable energy sources would be a model example. There are many train routes, city bus systems, and government vehicles that can be converted to run from alternative energy sources and fuels. Jobs created would bolster the economy, lower trade deficit, and strengthen national security. I would take great pride in print outs of bonds with graphics of each project I supported and many other Americans would also. The energy bonds could have tax breaks. BLM lands may be a viable place to start for some projects.
I contacted the US treasury department and was told that the marketing department for savings bonds closed several years ago. I was told there would be problems because savings bonds are at the federal level while the projects will be at the state and local level. I disagree and believe that these can easily be figured out in the way of grants to the state and local level using money from the bonds for those specific projects. I was told to check out auctions on the www.treasurydirect.gov website and found them to not apply to citizens wanting to buy savings bonds to support a cause such as energy independance. I was told by the treasury department to look into CREB (Clean Renewable Energy Bonds). I found CREB to be large scale funding that a citizen would not be able to participate in as a US Treasury Energy Independance Bond would provide. If given the tools to participate directly, the power of the citizens of the United States to help achieve energy independance could not be denied. Americans mean well and the Energy Independance Savings bond program will give citizens the power at their level to make it happen. If marketed through a web page, commercials, and to federal employees the word would get out and participation would spread like wildfire.
Mr. Paul Gipe, a resident of Bakersfield CA, an author of several books about wind energy, and recipient of multiple awards as a pioneer in the industry since the 1970's has put a letter I wrote to Senator Dorgan on this subject as well as an older letter I wrote on wind COOP in JAN07.

Merry Christmas helen,
This year I have helped so many members learn about personal home energy plans. It's all about power use, conservation, and home power generation, things I have been doing at my residence to lower my energy costs. Send me a friend request a to add me helen, I'd be honored to have you as a friend here.
BTW, oklahoma: I just posted an article about Home Wind Systems in oklahoma. Your state's representatives, governor, and public utility commission officials are not in your corner with this "soft policy" on Net Metering. Instead they have the tables turned against green power for businesses and homeowners. You should read that article, important.

Hello helen, These new roof mounting residential wind turbine kits shipping now. The kits are attractive, sleek, well designed to install as a home appliance on the roof, much like an antennae or satellite dish. They are as easy to install as other home appliances, like dishwasher, etc. You can now begin a personal energy plan. These systems are inexpensive, easy to install, scaleable.
Your Wind blows stronger in the winter, Your Sun shines stronger in the summer months. This hybrid wind/solar system combines these cycles to give a more even flow of energy year round. This homeowner sized wind/solar system provides free power for your home. Many customers have found it easy to become customer/dealers of our kits. Customers can become a dealer with no further investment, they see quickly how people are easy to get interested.
I have used the same systems save money on my electricity costs and helen, you can too. Your local wind resources are so good in Oklahoma. Please see these windmaps at the link below and pinpoint what number your area is in. Zone 2 is OK, anything over 2 is (very) good. First double check your wind resources from the map and links below.

Ron A. Rhoades said… - I just wanted to stop by and welcome you to the Communications Support Group. Our purpose is to enable new and current members to understand "The Pickens Plan," and provide them with guides, flyers, brochures, videos, and PowerPoint presentations. Today a “Resources” page was added to the CommSupp group’s page, which better organizes the materials and adds a lot of additional resources members may be interested in. The CommSupp group is composed entirely of volunteer members. We welcome you to submit materials which might assist other members, suggest improvements to the group’s Resource page, and undertake other activities which may be of interest to you. Thank you again for joining.

Gregory L. Smith said… - Ok Allison, the event is going to be at Panera Bread restaurant, located at 2035 S. Meridian. If you are going south, avoid the airport by taking I-240 south and exit off of SW29th st and go back to Meridian and then back north another mile or two. The airport is smack dab in the center of Meridian ave and dead ends at the airport. I have information to provide, but I am not making copies, since the info is available online, saving paper and my time. I will bring sign-in sheets so that everyone can have a clue where and what they know in expertise. It will be online as soon as someone puts it there. Since this is an organizational meeting, I expect to see the organizers there, and if not, we will take the ball and run with it. I also am proposing another meeting for Sunday at the Borders on NW Expressway just east of Portland, but did not formalize it, because I am waiting for leaders to determine some of this. If no leader, we'll do it and invite north-siders and those from Edmond and Guthrie.. You can call me on my cell if you have questions as I said yesterday. Or email me. gregors@att.net or 405-650-5101 . I have to get some things typed up, so see you there at 5PM!!!!

helen allison said… - thanks Gregory i can't make this one but please keep me posted i feel that this is so important we can not just sit on our laurels and hope some one else will do something like i said in another posting we need to also consider solar panels for home and the manufacturing sector keep me posted i will make every effort to attend the next meeting in okc

- Helen, from the comments on the website, I gather that the majority of this group will meet at the Panera Bread restaurant at 5PM, this Saturday the 26th, at 2035 S. Meridian Ave. in Oklahoma City. If you want me to find the phone number for the location, I can. I was going to arrange another meeting, but I will wait until the leadership of the site here makes their move and gets things rolling. If I find we are all alone at the store, I will try to get another location set so that more people can attend. This will be great for Oklahoma City and for our nation. Also, I would love to find out how you are going to get your solar panels, since I have contacts with Sunwize Technologies in New York and California. You can check out their website at Sunwize.com and if you need to get them installed, I can help you find a licensed installer, most likely in North Texas.You can save significant money by finding a distributor in you area. Gregor Smith OKC. gregors@att.net and 405-650-5101
Profile Information
- Are you interested in becoming an organizer in your area?
- Yes
- Tell us about your experience with alternative energy:
- i will be installing solar panels on my house before the end of the year i try to conserve any way i can i have a rain barrel for collecting rain water, i have very good insulating windows, (low e argon gas filled) doors, and 14" of blown in insulation in roof, my experience has been more in conserving ... however i buy vitimans from andrew lessman, his whole plant is solar panels and his five acre parking lot is also covered w/solar panels.
- What excites you about this campaign?
- i think we should cut the legs out from under the big oil company's what they do in the way of pricing the gasoline is bordering on grand theft so anything i can do to put them out of business i am all for
- What do you want to do to help?
- i think if we do not find alternative energy sources we will destroy the planet i do not think that nuclear energy is the way to go.... what are we going to do with all the used product?? also renewable energy will help save the planet and after all it is renewable and we are not destroying anything to get it
