Wasn't it only last year that Americans were outraged over 4$ a gallon gasoline and ready to revolt en masse in support of any kind of alternative energy or fuel which would bring back energy prices that were at least affordable if not cheap or green? Everyone wanted a voice in the choices that were being made regarding our energy future and grassroots campaigns led by T. Boone Pickens and Al Gore each had several million active members working together for a green energy economy. Once gas pric… Continue

FYI: When calling Senator's offices: NAT GAS ACT 2009 - ammendment - is Senate Bill #672

When calling for Nat Gas Act 2009 - It is the SENATE BILL # 672 - Pickens Plan is asking us to call our respective Senators for our area. As of 4/2/09, it hasn't come to the House yet - so calling the House of Representative now, you can give your comments, but the real time to call is when Senate approves the bill and it's passed to the House of Representatives for their consideration.

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act

Urge Your Representative to Support "The American Renewable Energy Act" (H.R. 890)

I got a letter today from the Union Of Concerned Scientists asking me to support the above cited bill in congress (H.R. 890). I looked up the Bill and briefly read over it's contents and, at this point, it seems to address a lot of the things that need to be taken into consideration as we move from a fossil fuel based economy to a renewable one. Two things that I think are crucial in this effort are 1: the right of customers to choose their service provider at any time based on price, services… Continue

Fellow Picken Planners, Recently the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 was signed into law. One thing most people might have missed with this Act is the H.Amdt. 748 Amendment that requires electric suppliers, other than governmental entities and rural electric cooperatives, to provide 15 percent of their electricity using renewable energy resources by the year 2020. So what does that mean?? Well in a… Continue

Congressman Ron Kind

I used the link on this site to contact my elected officials and my Rep. Ron Kind has since sent me 2 emails.

With volatile gas prices and increased global demand for the oil that we have built our econ… Continue
