Why T. Boone Pickens is right when he says this is a NATIONAL EMERGENCY OF NATIONAL SECURITY IMPORTANCE!

America stands at the edge of a chasm as deep or deeper than the one she faced in the 1930's. Our financial system is in tatters, the Fed is printing money in a desperate attempt to stop the rout in all of our major financial institutions, consumer demand for goods is dropping rapidly as Americans attempt to deal with Skyrocketing Energy prices. The U.S. dollar is depreciating as fast as the FED prints it and Imported Oil is priced in dollars so not only do we get socked with deman… Continue

Congressional Vote on Extension of Tax Benefits for Alternative Energy Investments

It is my understanding that Congress will again take up the issue of the extension of expiring tax benefits for investments in alternative energy--I think they expire in the next year. In the last go around, I believe the democrats opposed the extension because the republicans rejected some conditions on oil producers etc. ARE ANY OF YOU AS SICK OF THIS PARTISAN CRAP AS I AM! I THINK THIS UPCOMING DEBATE IS AN EXCELLENT OPPORTUNITY FOR OUR ARMY TO MAKE THEIR FIRST HUGE CONTRIBUTION TO THE PUBL… Continue

BLM Backs off Moratorium on New Solar Applications for Government Land

A dear friend sent me an email indicating that the BLM has apparently backed off their ill advised moratorium for new aplications for the use of BLM land for solar (and i believe) other alternative energy developments. Hopefully that is an indication what a small uproar can obtain when challenging idiotic decisions by government leaders (did they just notice that they might get more applications from alternative energy projects) in regards to maintaining the status quo. As my friend Todd likes t… Continue

Pickens Plan Scam--Regruntled.com maybe half baked would be a more appropriate name for this blog

I used to have a little more respect for computer nerds in general, this guy is lowering the average rating in his blog post. http://www.regruntled.com/2008/07/11/pickens-plan-scam/ For a guy who can write code and make it work, his intellectual analysis seems pretty shallow on what T. Boone's plan is all about. He totally misses T. Boone's request for the Feds to expedite the development of this century's drastically needed superhighway system--upgrading our existing power transmission corrid… Continue

Can an Old Oil Man turn the US onto Windpower?

It seems like a redundant question, this weeks 200,000 plus visitors to www.pickensplan.com is pretty good proof that T. Boone has already made the biggest and fastest impression onto the American scene in regards to the potential for wind power, solar and CNG autos/trucks on making America energy free, especially with the younger social networking crowd--you think any other 80 year old American males added 2,500+ new friends on Facebook, myspace, linked-in etc. social networks in the last 3 day… Continue

Another Example why developing American Alternative Energy is challenging--Is Institute for Energy Research in Big Oil's Pocket?

They have already published an article, "Pitfalls in Boone Pickens Plan--they didn't waste anytime trying to smash down this uprising did they? here is the link http://www.instituteforenergyresearch.org/2008/07/10/pitfalls-in-the-pickens-plan/ Anyone know anything about them? checking out their website was not much help, pretty much old top down style one way communication from them to us. No blog commenting, no details of who contributes to their funding. Their critique of the plan is not ev… Continue

A pretty good example of the resistance to US Energy Transformation--Houston Chronicle is in Big Oils Pocket?

a recent article in houston newspaper--they know T. Boone, so trust em--is a pretty good example of how difficult it is to initiate change--everyone's a frigging critic of anyone who steps up to the plate, but few of them have worthwhile alternative suggestions of their own. one could only hope that chron writer could truly offer some alternatives and figure out how to get 170,000 hits to a webpage in 3 days, it is so much easier to just use a misleading headline and pile it on high to anyone d… Continue

Quite a groundswell!

Ole T. Boone Pickens sure set off a huge groundswell of emotion by stepping up to the plate and stating what most Americans, especially younger Americans know in their heart--it is time for the US to develop and install the next system of energy sources. We have depended on 40,000,000 year old carbon deposits for way to long--way toooo long! Thank goodness for the power of social networks to overcome the entrenched power networks in the US. Like Obama's guerrilla strategy to overcome Hillary's… Continue
