The Value of Each MemberPosted by Ralph J Branscomb / rbran90@gmail.com on February 7, 2009 at 12:30pm

Make no mistake, just in your agreeing with the Pickens Plan and acknowledging that we need to move in a different direction for our sources of energy and then focusing your attention on the idea of that becoming manifest, is a very powerful action in and of itself. But there’s even much more that you have to offer this movement.
When you decided to join the ranks of the Pickens Army you instantly brought something of great value and importance to the table. Now the wording of this may sound odd but what you have is your unique point of view from your unique point of view. While it is possible that many others can have a similar point of view to yours, it is a fact that in this universe no two things can occupy the same space and time. Therefore there is no one who is going to share your exact point of view from your actual physical location and that is from the moment you came into existence to the present.
So why is your unique point of view so important and valuable?
The answer is simple. Because it’s yours! And because life is not just one big singular puzzle piece but is actually made up of billions and billions of interconnecting pieces (viewpoints). Each person’s unique point of view is an integral part of the whole. And that has unquestionable and immeasurable value and importance.
In getting to this point in your life you have accumulated many life experiences. You also have skills, talents, know-how, expertise, knowledge, a personal communication network between you and the various people you know and are connected to in whatever degree and, most importantly, you have creativity, imagination and ideas. Now that is quite a bundle of assets and one incredible resource. This is a powerful resource to tap into. And, it is one that is not only inherent in you but also every other person on the planet. Unfortunately, though, this immensely valuable resource often goes unacknowledged, unrealized, under utilized and wasted by both the individual their self and others in their immediate environment.
So, if there was ever any question about what you can do for this group...for this movement... I hope you will quickly disabuse yourself of any such mystery. As just pointed out, you have a tremendous amount to offer and I encourage you to never minimize or disparage it in any way.
You are not a cog in the wheel. YOU ARE THE WHEEL!
Great Causes bring out great people. As a 25-year veteran in Power Generation & Energy Development, let me thank you for getting involved and extend an offer to provide insight and assistance in your local effort. This is a very doable plan and it starts with people like you in making it a success. The key to the plans success will be communicating to the masses.We need to communicate reality not dreams for unfortunately the American public has a very short attention span and most are living day to day. The Pickens Plan as it stands right now is at the 50,000 ft level. We need to develop a more comprehensive detailed national execution plan for the next five years. The first section should incorporate conservation and placing public pressure on elected officials at all levels of government to engage and approve a national plan while in parallel we are designing, constructing and installing the new alternative energy infrastructure systems. Once we have the grass roots base involved at this level, we can then continue to communicate the next steps of the plan to them to help bring us to the Energy Independence we are looking to accomplish
Merry Christmas LJCROW,
This year I have helped so many members learn about personal home energy plans. It's all about power use, conservation, and home power generation, things I have been doing at my residence to lower my energy costs. Send me a friend request a to add me LJCROW, I'd be honored to have you as a friend here.
BTW, oklahoma: I just posted an article about Home Wind Systems in oklahoma. Your state's representatives, governor, and public utility commission officials are not in your corner with this "soft policy" on Net Metering. Instead they have the tables turned against green power for businesses and homeowners. You should read that article, important.

Hello LJCROW, These new roof mounting residential wind turbine kits are shipping now. They are sleek, attractive, and well designed. These are actually a home appliance on the roof, much like an antennae or satellite dish. They are as easy to install as other home appliances, like dishwasher, home theatre, etc. It's a nice clean way for you to begin your Personal Energy Plan. These systems are inexpensive, easy to install, scaleable.
Your Wind blows stronger in winter, Your Sun shines stronger in summer. This hybrid wind/solar system combines these cycles to give a more even flow of energy year round. This homeowner sized wind/solar system provides free power for your home. Many customers have found it easy to become customer/dealers of our kits. Customers can become a dealer with no further investment, they see quickly how people are easy to get interested.
I have used the same systems save money on my electricity costs from day one and LJCROW, you can too. Your local wind resources are so good in Oklahoma. Check these windmaps and see can you pinpoint what number your area is in. Zone 2 is OK, anything over 2 is (very) good. First double check your wind resources from the map and links below.
You have kids. You need to meet Kris Wilson up in Branson, Mo. she's working on an incredible project to educate children on the environment using entertainment. sorry I don't have her link handy. You'll have to do a search and it might be faster to go to my page and search my friends. her icon is a graphic with a wind generator and the words ELF LIVE.
When you get a chance you might want to go to the Artists Round-Up group that is not so much a group as it is a roster. It's a good venue to promote yourself and your work. Yes, you ARE an artist! Anyway, just sign in and start a discussion title it your name and start letting everyone know about you and what you do. To find it just go to the group page and enter the word artists in the search.
May we always desire to play a better game and create a better tomorrow (for everyone!)

Key Policy Recommendations for a Cleaner, Greener Energy Future
* Provide multiyear tax incentives for renewable-energy production and energy-efficiency projects.
* Set national mandates that would require utilities to get at least 20 percent of their electricity from wind, solar and geothermal energy by 2020.
* Add and updating the building code to require energy-efficiency measures in the construction of new buildings and the renovation of existing buildings, and setting a goal to reduce buildings' energy use 50 percent by 2030.
* Set prices for carbon-dioxide emissions and creating a program that caps emissions from different industries and allowing companies to trade emissions allowances.
* Upgrade and expanding the nation's electric grid to enable it to support electric cars and the transport and storage of renewable energy.
* Provide incentives for utilities to invest in energy-efficiency technologies.
* Increase the fuel efficiency of cars and trucks and investing more money in private-public partnerships that would develop transportation systems that rely on little or no oil, such as electric cars.
* Provide incentives to consumers and small businesses to buy plug-in hybrid cars and alternative fuels, including natural-gas-powered cars.
* Invest more federal dollars in cleantech research and development, including ways to capture and store carbon-dioxide emissions from coal-fired power plants.
* Speed up the process of setting aside public lands and improving the permitting process for renewable-electricity projects on public lands.
* Shift from ethanol made from corn to ethanol made from wood chips, agricultural waste and other nonfood feedstock, and encouraging a joint U.S.-Brazil partnership to turn sugar cane into ethanol in the Caribbean.
Enjoyed seeing a Sooner on the leadership board and want offer you an invitation to join group discussions on the creation of an investment fund that will jump start the Pickens Plan. Step onto the court and let meknow your thoughts.

It's good to be your friend. Today, we should pause and rededicate ourselves towards a Hydrogen Economy. There'll likely be more 911s otherwise....
