Hello Joe, what are your thoughts about CAE Vehicles? (Compressed Air Engines) They are suppose to get the equivalent of 106 MPG. Go up to speeds of 90 MPH, and can be refueled at home/garage?

YES JOE - THOSE ARE BIG, BIG IFS THAT YOU CONCLUDE WITH, AND I AGREE WITH YOU - AND THEIR ACCOMPLISHEMEN IS LIMITED ONLY BY THE POWER OF VESTED INTERESTS TO MAINTAIN THE STATUS QUO BY STARVING OFF CAPITAL INVESTMENTS - EVEN IF IT REQUIRES A CRISIS HERE OR THERE AS A DISTRACTION. AND I AM NOT SHOUTING AT YOU.

IOUSA is a term that was coined by others than myself - it refers to the FACT that we are now a DEBTOR NATION to the world - with our IOUs out there in the form of TRILLIONS of dollars and US Treasury Bonds and Notes. If you wish to see what entity coined this term - GOOGLE the name of: Agora Financial, or just click on this link: www.agorafinancial.com

I am not an agent employee officer or director of this entity - I just read some of their financial evaluations besides several others because I have no pension but manage my own self-directed IRA and as a result I am an avid capitalist but not one who wants to see my countrymen in the toilet.

They are financial analysts (and some may twist that also into anal cysts) who have deep concerns about the financial viability of our country and have produced a film and movie with that same name of "IOUSA". They have annual financial seminars - last year it was in August and up in Vancouver Canada - and I attended it for a week.

Do they know everything? NO! Do I? NO! Do you? NO!

I happen to agree with them that government deficits coupled with trade deficits is a recipe for national disaster, that we have to turn around.

The Chinese and the Arabs with whom our corporate and politidcal leaders have ingratiated us will not want to use our IOUs as their toilet paper.

Joseph - From everything I've heard and read the electric grid is dysfunctional and overstretched and there tiny tot company out there that has invented and patented replacement electric lines that are MUCH more efficient and reliable. It is being ignored here in the IOUSA by many utilities .. I can only assume it is because the product has VALUE but the view dominant is PRICE. The company is Composite Technology Corporation (stock trading symbol CPTC.OB) and they are getting orders from China, Chile Spain and a few in the IOUSA but not enough. And yes, I own 12,000 shares OF THIS PENNY STOCK - now selling under 30-40 cents/share - if it catches fire and goes to $100/share --- whoopee!

I like how you think Joe. The Methane Gas concept using organic waste is definitley something worth pursuing. Since we have to get rid of it one way or another, we may as well use it to power something.

Thanks again Joe. What are your thoughts about this National Electric Grid they are proposing. I guess it's a way to distribute electric generated by Solar and Wind through most of the country. I imagne this will minimize the need for coal burning electric plants also? What do you think?

Thanks for the detailed explanation Joe. So Joe, the bottom line is that? It would take more Electricity to process he H2O into a combustible fuel than the energy the Hydrogen would produce for the vehicle to run off of?

Hi Joseph!

I see that I greeted you back in early October. So glad to see that you are still here.

There is one way to get the politicians to listen to the people. Make a noise so loud and consistent that it changes the paradigm of though on energy in this country! When we ALL demand it - in the many millions- there will be no place to hide. When it is political suicide to do business as usual and ignore the simple answer to our most pressing problem.... they will have to know they will be gone. Hit them where they live.

THE ONLY WAY to do that is with sheer numbers. As Thomas Friedman has stated, "like the civil rights movement.. only large, strong and consistent grass roots efforts can create change." WILL you help?

The petition is the fastest way to grow our numbers. I have sent in over 160 in the last 3 weeks. I simply say, "I am gathering support for T Boone Pickens PLan to get us off of forign oil and onto American solutions." I have not found one person who does not want to get off foreign oil.... and keep all that money in this country. Did you know we borrow the money from China that we pay to the Middle East- it is ludicrous!

It is an easy ask- Boone has done the hard work.
We have a choice. Sit back and let it happen.... or take action and stop it once and for all. We will get what we deserve..... I hope to hell it is energy independance. I am willing to hook my wagon to Boone's horse and plow like crazy to make sure. I hope you will too. WE CAN DO THIS!

Best to you
Kim

Hi Joseph!

Welcome to the PLAN!

Please congratulate Dianna Brown, she has joined the 100CLUB today- for those that fax/send in more that 100 signed pledges! In addition to her pledge push success, she drives the Welcome Wagon often, providing a steady and passionate hand in sharing our goals to new members.
She is a Picken's Hero!

Best to you,
Kim

WELCOME and THANK YOU for joining Pickens Plan. Here is how you can help.

Just taking the time to come to this site is your first step. Now onto the second one. Reading this and acting on it.

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 ASAP. When we are millions strong, we can achieve this.

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-hall

PERSONAL ACTION OPTIONS
We 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 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. I do updates on new member numbers and perinent info.

Thanks again for joining this historical effort. WE CAN DO THIS


THANKS AGAIN WW DRIVERS
