Hey There, I just wanted to remind you to try and get your friends and family to join the Kansas group too. We really need to grow the group so we can show there is enough support for the Pickens Plan in Kansas!
ozzyedout is not from the song Marziedoats (The Andrews Sisters, circa WWII) but from "We're not in Kansas anymore, Toto." (The Wizzard of OZ). That was way too obvious. Doubt it's from Ozzy Osborne, but never rule totally out any possibility. Just ask her where it's from.

'Green-collar' jobs a growth area, U.S. group says
Companies are stepping up their environmental initiatives, and that may mean a boom in "green-collar" jobs.
A recent forecast by the American Solar Energy Society found that renewable energy and energy-efficient industries were responsible for the creation of nearly 8.5 million jobs in 2006, and by 2030 that number is expected to reach 40 million.
Colleges and universities are taking notice, according to Challenger, Gray & Christmas Inc., a job placement consulting group.
Many have introduced specialized degree programs in eco-commerce, environmental accounting, green and social marketing, and ecological economics.
"The demand for 'green-collar' jobs is really exploding, especially as the cost of energy continues to climb," said John Challenger, the group's chief executive. "Students need to start thinking about developing skills that will give them an edge for these types of careers that did not even exist until recently."
Popular jobs include urban planners, forestry professionals and environmental lawyers, Challenger said. There is also a growing demand for architects and engineers with Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification from the U.S. Green Building Council, a Washington, D.C.-based non-profit.
Nope...I don't know the song. My husband and I had planned on going down to the town meeting but something has come up at work and we can't get away. I am extremely disappointed but hopefully some of the others will let us know how it went.

We drove through Sabetha on the way to Topeka. I suggested they make a way for pickens web members to meet one another.
My daughters and I were the first three in the first row on the left, south side of the audience ( stage right, if you will)
I really feel it was worth it to drive down there and see him first hand.
I agree that it is not just our addiction to 'foreign' oil, but our addiction to non-renewable energy that is the real problem.
