Good morning Daniel! I just wanted to let you know that I have undertaken a self educational course on my own, to educate myself on the renewable energy evolution and different sources for it. I have not forgotten about your offer (which is very much appreciated), and at some point down the road, when i become alot smarter about all this, then we will talk again about your program! In the meantime, the info you sent me is tucked away in my computer in a special file.
Thanx again for the offer Daniel!

Tommorow, I'll get to meet T. Boone Pickens himself, I don't know if he'll give me the time of day, but just in case, do you have any questions you would like to present to him?
If so, reply ASAP! I will print them and hand them to him.
HYDROKINETIC ENERGY INC.
(a wholly owned subsidiary of ATI inc.)
I honestly don't believe there is anyone that shares the passion for Alternative Energy that I do......For over 18yrs I have worked to keep hope alive in Sustainable Renewable Energy. Touting Solar, Wind and
Tidal-Flow (Hydrokinetic) Energy on one Platform offshore. Just to name one.
In the early 90's as ceo for Solar Cells Inc. The then Gov. Lawton Chiles and I co-authored the Co-Generation Legislation that Fla immediately adopted as did 23 other States.
Which have become the Net-metering Laws of today.
Later Lawton went a step further by mandating in to Law all State office buildings were to have a 12 to 15 percent reduction in energy consumption by 1995.
To reach this goal I was dealt the task of planning to outfit all State Office Buildings with co-gen PV. And my Corporation held the very first commercial co-generation agreement with Fla Light and Power, Jupiter Fla.
This was later to become the platform for President Clinton’s
Million Roof Initiatives for all Federal Office Buildings in 1998.
Putting my life’s savings, my blood, sweat and almost $2,420,000
Into keeping HOPE Alive in the Alternative Energy Arena.
Knowing one day it would come to fruition…

I have an agenda..... A Vision for ATI Inc the mother company to fulfill…
My life's goal is to have all residential property co-generating electricity in North America by 2025. Little know fact it's only 25% of entire North American Grid Consumption.
This is attainable we have the technology and the man-power.....
We must start now!!!
Time for talk is over.....
I have introduced the Boldest Solar/Housing Initiative yet
to date…
Entire subdivisions of low-cost Modular with little to no electric bill that retail from $79,900 to $159,900 680sq 2/1 to 1380sq 3/2 .
Meets the need for low-cost housing and helps over Stressed Grid during PEAK_USAGE hrs. As these subdivisions go on-line they will act as virtual mini-generating stations. With all overage sold back to
Grid and retained by ATI inc. (built in residual)
This is why I have touted the Hybrid (Solar, Wind &Tidal-Flow) systems for over 18yrs.
Solar by it's self is not that cost effective, yet (needs more Federal R&D money and it will).
Concentration is the only stand alone solar that is, but way to expensive for residential application.
So now I am on the edge of what could very well be the next Giant Leap forward in the Alternative Energy Arena…
AND IT IS A HYBRID…..what I have been saying for all these years.
My new Patent pending recirculating generator will lower cost of solar generation by 60%.
The RC-GEN will retail for around 2000.00USD
and @ 1.7KW per Hr.
It runs on 2-200watt per hour solar panels that cost 1000.00USD each.
Now Here's the skinny...
10-200watt PV Panels@$1000.00USD ea = $10,000.00USD
Output 1.7 to 1.9 kilowatt per hour.
The RC-GEN uses 2 PV panels to power the dc motor to recirculate
the Ethel Glycol (anti-Freeze) for colder climate installation.
2-200watt PV = $2000.00USD + $2000.00USD for RC_GEN
= $4000.00USD out put 1.7kw per hour.
Savings of $6,000USD over Solar Panels alone.
This is a 60% reduction of cost for a solar power system….
The best system is combine the two and still spend $10,000.00USD
With output now @ almost 4 kilowatt per hour…..
What we need is an angel Investor of $250,000USD
To get this up and running to build two new prototypes
One with the dc pump ran by PV panels and Sunlight
And last but by no means least
One ran by a natural flowing water source tidal-flow
20hours a day it is moving…
I moved back to South Ga. For more than one reason
The demographic for my Target Customer is between Hilton Head Is. SC And St Augustine Fla. 250 miles of coastline.
Land owners with either a swimming pool or tidal creek in their back yard.
You see the RC-GEN can run on any flowing source of water
Back yard docks in tidal creeks… (Mini-hybrid version of offshore prototype).
Be it Man made or Natural flowing so the potential for this little Giant
And it’s Applications just keep growing exponentially.
Falling water say from MUNICIPAL WATER TOWERS, pumped water
In giant AC systems on and on…
Any form of moving water……
We need an Angel Investor with 250KUS….
So we must act post hast to get this Patented and bring this “little Piggy to the Market”

Ok, so how many springs are on a single trampoline? A lot, right?
So let's say I'm a club owner, or I'm throwing a concert/show of some kind. Why not have each trampoline spring replaced by a spring combined with an electric generator. So you have one trampoline on each side of the stage. You have 2 people on each trampoline and generate power for the lighting or the sound amplification. They could be in a little fenced off area and security could swap out the people every few minutes.
OK, that's how I see it, but kids love trampolines too!
Why can't you do my idea above, but plug it into your batteries being charged by your solar panels. Now your kids are helping out too and they don't even know it. Heck, I'd be out there more than my 3 year old!
Ok, someone take this plan and run with it, and include me somehow. This is an awesome idea for someone who can create a generator/spring combo for trampoline use.
Hi Dan, I read your profile and see your into alot with wind etc. also see you work with f.p.l. thats a challange in itself with all the outages etc. havent seen any programs in cape coral or as we call it cape shit!!! the politicians here are corrupt and are total asses. (fact) there total rejects from the glue factory as someone wanted to start a solar farm and they shut him up. well keep in touch bro!!! THE WINTER WARLOCK RAY
Please visit www.FAREnergy.org - The Florida Alliance for Renewable Energy would like to make Florida a leader in solar energy. Since 1991, Germany, Spain, Denmark, and over 40 other nations, states, and provinces, have pioneered legislation that have proven to promote the fastest, cheapest, and widest growth of renewable energy. In many of these countries these policies are called "Feed-In Tariffs" (FITs). Producers of renewable energy are paid a premium rate or "tariff" for each kilowatt of energy they "feed into" the grid. Here in North America FITs are being called, "Renewable Energy Payments" (REPs). The name has changed but the fundamental principles of these policies stay the same: Everyone who produces renewable energy is guaranteed that they can connect to the power grid and sell their energy to their utility company. There is no limit to the amount of renewable energy that can be sold to utility companies.
Utility companies sign 15-20 year contracts with all their renewable energy producers. All contracts are transparent and open for inspection.
The contracts include long-term agreed upon prices that the utility companies will pay for the energy they buy. The prices are set high enough to be an incentive to new producers and for existing producers to expand their production capacities. Prices vary according to the source of the energy (i.e, sun, wind, water, bio-mass, etc.) and the size of the energy-producing installation.
The utility companies can recoup their increased costs of paying higher prices for renewable energy by spreading these costs among all their customers.
An Independent Review Board is established by the government that periodically sets the prices and terms for new contracts.
How do REPs work?
Renewable Energy Payments are the mechanisms or instruments at the heart of specific state, provincial or national renewable energy policies. REPs are incentives for homeowners, farmers, businesses, etc., to become producers of renewable energy, or to increase their production of renewable energy. As such, they increase our overall production and use of renewable energy, and decrease our consumption and burning of fossil fuels.
Thank you! Happy Holidays!

Hi Daniel,
Where are you located? I am trying to make Solar and Renewable Education common in East Coast, particularly in CT Areas, That is what we need to grow such plan. I have team of students who can help.
Put in another friends request when you're able to demonstrate how we identify in the same way on key subjects or somesuch. Right now, all I see in your Friends request is an opportunity for me to promote you and your company. I prefer to have a 2-way street.
What's up Doc? Just you ya waskally wabbit. LOL I am a Director Level Project Manager. Long in telecomm, I have also done work in the automotive industry and have a strong background in computerized motion control. I have long been a proponent of building our alternative energy resources and getting away from imported oil and fossil fuels in general.
"That's the question of the day at Fox News, and you can weigh in by sending them an email telling them you want to see the next president adopt the Pickens Plan!
Please go to: America's Talking at http://www.foxnews.com/livedesk/index.html
Regradless of who we voted for - our country has decided and we must do everything in our power to insure the Obama's Presdency is a successful one. STARTING WITH ENERGY. We must continue to educate Americans one at a time how urgent renewable and alternative energies are to our future. WE ONLY ACHIEVE CHANGE WITH HARD WORK AND DEDICATION to creating a complete paradigm shift of thought in this country.
Thomas Friedman said some critical things about changing thought and getting action:
What do you think about Boone's New Energy Army marching on Washington when President-elect Obama and the new Congress are sworn in?
I think he’s on the right track.
Why do you say that?
How did we get civil rights changes in this country? It happened basically when people took to the streets and politicians saw them, understood there was an aggrieved community there that wanted action, and the politicians decided that the cost of inaction on their part was greater than the cost of action. The same thing has to happen on energy. There is only going to be real legislative change and support of renewable energy when enough politicians decide that the cost of inaction is greater than the cost of action. And bringing lots of people, and I don’t mean five, ten, twenty, but hundreds of thousands of people to bear on Capitol Hill to drive that point home is really essential.
How closely do you think the major oil-exporting countries are watching us to see whether or not America develops a sustainable energy policy?
I think they’re watching, but I think so far they’re not afraid because they’ve seen this play before. They know when global oil prices go down, it tends to kill the renewable energy industry. Happened in the ‘70s and ‘80s. And so I don’t think they’re exactly quaking in their boots yet. But I think they’re watching very closely, especially when they see the politics shift and they see people like Boone or Wal-Mart, people from the corporate sector or even from the traditional energy business such as General Electric adopting new positions- that gets their attention. They haven’t seen yet any really scale alternative to oil. Until they do, I don’t think they’ll be all that worried.
I have said all along the only way to get this done is to make it political suicide for them not to get it done! The only way we affect results on this is to be strong, be loud, be united and be consistent, in all of it. PLEASE continue to share the Pickens Plan with everyone you know. Bring them to the site. Get them to sign your pledge/petition. NOW is not the time to let down our effort, it is the time to turn up the pressure - We now know where it needs to be directed. We will eat the apple one bite at a time. Please keep it in your conversations and continue to help us build to millions of supporters. WE CAN DO THIS.
How much investment are you looking for as seed money and do you have a Prospectus prepared or complete Business Plan? Have you seen Mariah Power's group site here with the PickensPlan? How does your technology compare with what they have?
That's a good start. Looks like you're in a good position once this thing really takes off! Seems like the Alternative Energy Generation is about to emerge.
