- 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:
- We have had a hot water solar system in the past, which did not work that well, but are looking into electric solar tech. now for installation, as well as some energy saving implimentations on a small scale, etc..,
- What excites you about this campaign?
- Renewable Energy technology implimentation, as well as energy independance, etc..,
I am also excited about the fact that as a community we may be able to come together, and all play a part to help forge a more energy intelligent future for all.
*******************************************************
I have submitted one idea to the site already, proposing an elevated, low footprint, multi directional, light-rail system, ( of a smaller capacity per train system than the elevated light-rail system of the philippines ), which can be the step between the mass transit Buss and Standard Rail commuter trains, and intergrate branch line reductions and expansions into and out of main routes, and utilize ground and platform based stations, as well as Sky-Lobbies, into and out of buildings as the system enters and leaves cities, etc..,
****************************************************************
Going back 30 years now, I have been an amateur automobile mechanic, to industrial maintenance technician working on everything from industrial 3 phase high voltage electrical, to plumbing including steam fitting, thru carpentry etc.., to large commercial HVACR work thru to small combination airconditioning / furnace units, etc.., have been an Operating Engineer, running computerised BMS ( building managment systems ) and Energy Management software, low pressure steam and hot water boilers, and up to 1000 ton digitialy controlled, variable vane, centrifugal chillers, and all plant operation maintenance, from boiler and chiller maintenance and service, and from up to 40 and 50 hp pumps, to cooling tower maintenance, have done Telecommunications work, in which I have worked on large cable installations, digital-hybrid KSU ( key service unit ), installations, card installations, and service, programming updates, , telephone, Data, paging, cctv, and limited security; network wiring, installation, troubleshooting, integration, and maintenance, and high speed food production maintenance, which further expanded my hydraulic and vaccuum and pneumatic experience, as well as PLC's, etc., as well as other technical school experiences, including 6 months of dc and ac electrical theory, which was a great experience, etc..,
**************************************************
So I am very excited about this campaign, and also hope that My proposal to intergrate a national light rail system, for our most congested cities and suburbs, which at variour points can also tie into our heavier commuter rail system, might be one way in which I can help.
*****************************************************
We also must make sure our industrial BMS / EMS ( building and energy management systems ) computerised systems are as up to date as possible, to make sure industry is saving as much energy as possible. New BMS / EMS systems, and the most current updates, can help assure we are as energy efficient with our energy demands, ----as well as our seeking newer infrastructure of renewable energy for the future.
- What do you want to do to help?
- So far 1) I sent the email petitions to congress via this site, 2) I have submitted a new technology implimentation idea, for better utilization of existing technologies, for energy savings, and thus towards energy independance, as well as reduction in polution, so far, ---but will have to wait and see if My ideas were well recieved. 3) I have done some reading on this site, to see what subjects I wish to post on this site, to help Us all, as knowledge is a powerfull tool, and 4) I am interested in connecting with local support community for the Pickens Plan.

Last night, after dissenters were removed. Lou was unanimously elected to the position of CEO of the ON-LINE NORTH AMERICAN PARTY

Platform details available at www.howtoboilafrog.com (the Game). Please send us your two cents. - All ideas gratefully accepted. In Lou’s opinion, the entire world needs a NAP at this point so it can calm down, clear its head, and get started on the house-cleaning chores that are so long overdue. He takes a very down-to-pond attitude towards these things – it’s up to each of us to keep our own lily-pad clean.
Welcome and THANK YOU for joining Pickens Plan. Here is how you can help.
EMAIL A LETTER TO YOUR REPRESENTATIVES BY USING OUR EASY RED "CONTACT CONGRESS" BUTTON -This is urgent, because the Energy Bill in Congress is in danger of not passing! With little effort, we have the ability here for you to send a letter to our Representatives in Washington and Governor, too. Go to THE PLEDGE (at the very top of this page on the blue header) On the top of the pledge page there are three rectangular buttons- two blue ones and ONE RED BUTTON, that reads "CONTACT CONGRESS" . Fill in the short, standard form. Done!
YOU CAN ALSO HELP BY BRINGING 5 FOLKS TO JOIN the site today, so that we can build a voice big enough that Congress will finally have to listen to us, instead of the lobbyists and special interests, who are trying to derail this historic effort.
YOU CAN DOWNLOAD THE PLEDGE on the main page. Print out 10 or more of them, get them signed and fax them back to Boone ASAP. This is how we build our numbers fast! Be a leader, be a part of the "100 CLUB", by faxing in 100 signed pledges. Let me know when you are done and I will add you to the list.
THERE IS NO TIME TO DELAY
…to wait and see…or to see if someone else will step up to the plate. It is time for US to roll up our sleeves and go to work. Right now momentum is working in our favor, but if gas prices retreat, the public will forget the pain, and our moment may be lost.
FOR MORE INFORMATION
Check out Pickens "August Call to Action"- for a course of action! Here is an informative video "Topeka, Kansas Town Hall Meeting": http://www.pickensplan.com/news/2008/08/04/video-of-the-topeka-town...
PERSONAL ACTION OPTIONSWe need to do more than “preach to the choir”. Sharing ideas with each other is encouraging but that will not 1) increase our membership nor 2) influence public policy. If you know someone in the press or someone who blogs - get them to cover this. Ask those in the public eye to support this plan.
A GROUP FOR EVERYONE. Join the Guides and Materials for New Members Group. Lot's of good information there.
Check out the many groups for Solar, CNG, your area, etc. Connect, learn and share. We grow stronger with your input. If you don't see a group that speaks to your interest, then start a group of your own.
PLEASE FRIEND ME so we can keep in touch.
Thanks again for joining this historical effort. WE CAN DO THIS .
