Looks like with all the money you are saving in heating bills you will be able to travel more often! Keep up your good work. It's too bad we can't post pictures anymore, I miss seeing your great photos. Leslie

I have been offline for a while but i'm back now. Hope to do whatever i can to promote Pickens Plan! Have no idea what that would be? Maybe you could steer me in the right direction?

Every seed takes time to germinate.
So too in the fields of the soul.
We must never give up and sow
because the results do not
immediate to our eyes.
Let us wait with patience.
In the right moment, the seeds
have driven in the soil of hearts,
there will produce mature fruit.
Understanding and sow Joy, Peace and
Courage, Forgiveness and Love.
Jesus bless you have a good night.

Glad this very long, cold, snowy winter is finally behind us. The last time it hit 63 degrees here was back on Nov.15th (6 months ago!!!!!!!). Anyway my five panel system has been able to maintain 250 gallons in my tank at around 120 degrees most of the winter. Working on a whole new heating system for the house incorporating the panels, tanks, turbine wood boiler and propane back-up. I'm guessing I'll be done mid-July. I'll post pictures.

I'm also working on a roof system for the house so I can grow grass on it. We designed it for the weight but I have never gotten to it. The roof is a flat, shed style and has a 2.4/12 pitch and I have been testing different ideas for the last three winters. I'm going to use a 40 mil HDPE liner laid over strips of plastic (for drainage and venting). Two inches of 3/4" stone will be placed on top of the liner. Believe it or not this only weighs in at 9 lbs/sf.. By blocking the UV's from the current rubber rolled roofing material I'm hoping it will last longer than I will. There's always something going on here.

Thanks for thinking of me,
Dennis

Great pictures! My hope is that the USA will soon leap into this arena and be the leader we need to be within the global landscape. Thanks for your work and sharing. Jim

I'm very interested in your experiences in Germany and western Europe. I ahve traveled to Europe and Asia but not there. I did watch the video you recommended and the one above. It's more important then ever that we pick up the pace in this country or we'll be buying wind turbines, solar panels and the energy they produce from off shore. One wind turbine has tons of steel and 8,000 parts. Our dissapearing steel industry as well as our abandoned auto plants are prime facilities for this utilization.

We should not wait until we become customers for these products instead of suppliers here and abroad. The new jobs and resulting support to our falling economy is waiting in the hollwed out shell of our former industrial prominence. It really is time to regain, what we gave away.

Thanks for sharing the website. Stay in touch.

Thanks for the video on Germany's progress toward 100% sustainability. It's simulataneously inspiring and dissappointing. Inspiring because the potential is becoming reality...and dissapointing because we are not keeping pace with that progress in this country. Europes progress is outlined in this article as well...they've been at it for 10 years.

Keep plugging.

I appreciate the opportunity to be apart of the PickenPlan, and it's dedication to the new Green Energy programs! I look forward to any and all help in my quest, and in return, maybe somehow, I can find a way to be able to do my part to return the favor(s).

Thanx again and If you or anyone else that reads my profile has any ideas of how my area of expertise could be put to use in some form of making a better living (other than selling Lumber), then I would greatly appreciate any info towards that.
