We need to keep pushing forward!

This in from from Boone: The pace of our march toward energy independence is picking up. Legislation has been introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives – H.R. 1835 – which will make a huge difference in the way we use domestic natural gas to replace foreign oil. H.R. 1835 is known as the NAT GAS Act of 2009 and will provide incentives to move fleets and heavy trucks away from imported gasoline and diesel to clean, domestic natural gas. The NAT GAS Act is one of the very rare bi-partisan… Continue

Very disappointing.............

It took a long time for me to allow myself the opportunity of getting my thoughts out in public instead of hiding them inside of me and a small circle of friends. But when I became aware of the PickensPlan feelings inside of me stirred up memories of when I was an idealistic youth in high school and college. So I have tried my best to blog as often as the spirit moves me. When I first joined, about 2 months ago, I noticed a definite spirit in the blogs and comments from others. But over the past… Continue

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act

If the US had ratified Kyoto it would have joined 37 industrialized countries and the EU in an effort to reduce GHG emissions between 2008-2012. With the US sitting on the sideline, the rest of the world has forged ahead with an assortment of policy and incentive experiments with varyin… Continue

Live At The National Clean Energy Summit

The day before the National Clean Energy Summit I heard one of the Anchors on CNN describe the meeting as "Boone Pickens' Dream Team". This despite the fact that Al Gore, John Podesta and the Center For American Progress along with other members of the panel have made significant contributions on their own. However, since Pickens has done such a high profile job of bringing awareness of this effort and the issues involved to the attention of a wide swath of the American people from all walks of… Continue

It time to get er done ourselves.

In response to green energy bonds, just what the country needs is more debt. Isn’t $12,000,000,000,000 enough to already devalue our currency? How much do you want to devalue it? If people are really interested in truly going green, we need to funnel our own resources into a Green Energy Fund. Mr. Pickens could be on the 13 member Board and we could elect the remaining 12 members. Set up a website that could provide a voting system to allow people to promote themselves and allow everyone concern… Continue
