Are you interested in becoming an organizer in your area?

Tell us about your experience with alternative energy:

don't have any...i'd love to be more involved but am retired and can't do much on my budget..i know there are workshops somewhere but never know where until they're over. i'm interested in wind power for my place--small scale...also a way to beat the gas prices....if honda already has a natural gas powered car--can we buy them in the states? where is DETROIT?????????

What excites you about this campaign?

i'm hoping people will share ideas and show washington who's REALLY in charge!

Go to Amazon and order the book "The Straw Bale House" ISBN 0-930031-71-7. All the info you will need is in it.

I am in a county that is friendly to the technology. However in Tulsa I am having to go through some procedures because none have been built there.

I am organizing a group of "poor boys" where we can share ideas. You can do the same thing. Just run an ad in the paper. You would be surprised what you can learn when a bunch of guys gets their heads together.

We will be building these systems in a seminar setting so that we can all get hands on. We will record the activity so that we can make it available on line through a website. The systems will be sold at cost to a member of the group and then we will build another system.

Keep watch, I will keep you informed as soon as we launch the site. All information will be free of charge unless we offer CD's of the free online activity.

Checkout these links and enjoy. The affordable technology is out there. Share your info. If we can just get past the greed and we can beat this energy crisis.

By the way I'm also building a straw bale house. They are so energy efficient.
