Mr. Chance - In addition, I've been working with Mike Pickens and EATON. The following is about NG/LNG.

Richard Barnard

Solution for the 18 Wheeler
From You to Mike Pickens

I sent the following to EATON this AM. I wanted Mr. Cutler to see the latest Video.

Mr. Cutler:

I have pasted below the latest video on Boone’s “Clean Energy Summit 2.0” with Clinton, Gore and other influential leaders; in addition, excerpts of my previous e-mail to you. EATON has the solution Al Gore and Mr. Pickens mentioned in the video about the battery. The hybrid electric NG (natural gas), LNG (liquid natural gas) is the obvious solution for 18 wheelers. Tweak the diesel engine Heavy Duty propulsion trucks are using to use NG or LNG using your hybrid electric technology already in use with diesel. This would hasten cutting our imports in half as stated by Mr. Pickens.

Mr. Cutler:

I’m forwarding you an e-mail from Mike Pickens. Would you be interested in speaking to his father T Boone Pickens? I have asked Mike to help in arranging a summit with you and his father. If you are interested Mike has given me his private telephone number (XXX-xxx-xxxx). You or your counsel are welcome to call Mike to coordinate a meeting with T Boone if you wish. I sent the following paragraph to Mike showing recommendations for subject matter that may be of interest for you and Mr. Pickens.

“It’s my recommendation the topic with Mr. Cutler and your Dad is the manufacture of hybrid electric NG components for the Heavy Duty propulsion trucking industry, components for automobiles and possible discussions with the EPA and legislatures they both know for ease of implementation. This is the obvious. Many other topics can be discussed. Your Dad would be the best to decide what they are because of his vast knowledge of NG. In addition, your Dad’s assistance in helping EATON implement change with suggestions. Your Dad is the leader with the most knowledge of NG. His advocacy and leadership has already convinced legislatures and other influential leaders. Eaton is already the leader in hybrid electric diesel components.”

You might suggest to Mr. Cutler that he speak to Boone -it would make sense that they talk.

Subject: RE: Opportunity

Mr. Cutler:

I wasn’t overly optimistic when I suggested you should be providing the HEV components to automobile manufacturers for a goal of 8 million a year in America. You were a little pessimistic when you suggested it would take 10,000 units to make the technology profitable thus making it feasible. The Japanese have already done that. We only have two automobile manufacturers left in America you can sell your components to that will exceed your 10,000 unit projection – Ford and GM. Ford will probably do it next year with their fusion and mercury. Neither Ford nor GM has plans to come out with a diesel version. You are the only provider of diesel components that can easily be adapted for automobiles. It won’t be long before Volkswagen introduces one. They have already introduced in America a diesel Volkswagen that gets approximately 53 miles to a gallon. It’s just a matter of time before they introduce an electric hybrid version that will obviously exceed that.

Toyota and Honda both have NG (natural gas) cars. Both can provide NG connections to residential homes. I have already suggested you should consider hybrid electric NG components for the Heavy Duty propulsion trucking industry. You should consider electric NG automobile hybrid components. In addition, I’m suggesting you work with California and the EPA with legislation that will ease the use of NG delivery components that can easily be retrofitted to residential homes. With the smart meter it would be easy for government to tax the NG used for automobiles. If the home doesn’t have a smart meter then adding a second meter for NG will still allow the government to tax. Everyone in California has easy access to NG - Talk to Arnold.

I’m sure your vehicle components hierarchy has already made these suggestions to you. If not it might be something to consider. Change it good. Who would have ever thought 17 years ago EATON would have been in the electrical distribution business.

Sincerely yours,

Hello. I am Paul Bohannon, the new Alabama state leader for the Pickens Plan. I would like to encourage you to call your congressmen today and let them know that you are a proud member of Boones Army and you believe the time to begin to end our country's dependence on foreign oil is NOW. Call Mr. Shelby @ (202)224-5744 and Mr. Sessions @ (202)224-4124. Should you require any assistance please contact me here: paul@bohannon.com

Lets get this thing going, Alabama! -p/.

Mr. Chance:
I guess I’m turning into an advocate for Eaton. Why not? The realization hit me when it became apparent very few people know what’s happening behind the scenes in the automotive industry. It’s all about lowering our dependence on Middle Eastern oil and people should know there is progress being made. My candy is knowing the HEV is being manufactured. I may have been pushed but I didn’t go quietly and I obviously haven’t hidden anything from Sandy Cutler. I want Eaton to be successful. I have attached a link I just commented on. You may have interest.

C O N S E R V A T I O N :
Free Alternative Energy Available Now !

America Continues to Waste over 70% of the Energy it Consumes.
100's of millions of lights unnecessarily burn during the day and night, over heating and over cooling is the norm, over packaging, inadequate recycling, toxic landfills, horrendous road congestion, and our perverted obsession with road construction. Public and Private buildings, Schools, Churches, Homes, ... America's blatant energy waste and overuse is culturally pervasive, and abominable !

1- ONLY with a substantial and tangible economic reward/consequence will most Americans care to conserve.
Crude oil must be taxed at $200 per barrel and offset by making income tax begin at $60k.
Taxing energy is simple, fair, economically sound, and available TODAY.
2- The American auto industry must quickly transition to the 6.4 BILLION people reason$ to manufacture solar, wind, and other alternative energy producers. They already have the needed infrastructure. Every home and building in the world, could be using solar energy. We are fast running out of fossil fuels !

Humanity is racing toward extinction, via global warming, for our failure to stop our energy waste.
Taxing energy (in lieu of income taxes) is the ONLY incentive that will stop energy waste and cause renewable energy sources to be employed.

We can try-- and some of us "professional" small busines inventors-- know the WHAT and HOW to make new products.

But -- we need to TEAM-UP those who know WHERE, WHEN and HOW. The WHY is obvious as WE need to fix THE --- and OUR own --- ECONOMY.

It does take TEAM WORK to make a difference. Wearing more than five-hats-- (tasks) is stupid-- and we look funny. There are NO SILVER BULLETS. It takes a RIGHT series of RIGHT elements to make the RIGHT combination, and lead to RIGHT rewards for all our RIGHT effort.. ---

Right ?? Who wants to JOIN forces, talent, funds ??

Welcome to a rich world of thought. Richard Bowman say hello to Richard Barnard (http://www.push.pickensplan.com/xn/detail/u_kozvlxdhchbg) inventor of engine concepts just now being implemented (did I get that right Richard) and many other worthy scientists (PhD's and senior engineers) among my friends. (You'll have to look em up. They only show up for a discussion when I post one.) Try out the "We Need Some Modern Industrial Revolutionists (to coil a term) discussion. (I'll try to follow up with a link.)

OK - my new Friend-- Me having been-there-and done-that-- now in my 80.5 year having spent decades working inside the giant Aerospace Corporations and also earlier in the then new USAF military when jet engines first came out.

We had "early" discussuions on whether jets "sucked" themselves off the ground or "blew"themself down-the-runway & up-and-away. Answer = Every force has equal and opposite reaction. Wind moves South; Bird goes North !

Newest NEW THINK also flows from the opposite direction. Very little flow from the big org. -- Tis' from small biz persons with lots of NEW STUFF. I know the Creator (now resting) has the Band of Angels out there-- promoting NEW THINK -- since Angels lack-fingers and PC-Networks -- but Angels sure truly INSPIRE few of us to PERSPIRE -- as that Angel Guided Energy urge us to find NEW SOLUTIONS. Of course, some of the Angels have tiny-short-horns; so LOOK OUT !!!

I find that most small business do NOT know how to "combine" their talent, materials, & efforts to create new better COMPOSITE structures in systems and product results. It takes a TEAM to WIN. !!! This applies also in selecting materials too.

Just finished my 2009 - being a 106 project list-- my STUFF that needs to go to market & HELP fix the economy. We CAN do it. We MUST do it !! How can WE move this forward ???

Yes sir. The little red shack on the bottom right was my home for five months. I then spent the next seven months at McMurdo Sound.

I do believe that you and others will make the difference.

Dear friend you do me too much honor to think that I could do as you would do.

My response to Jesus will be - because I left some tools for the eventual eradication of our need for carbon fuels. Others like Mr. Chance with thought or deed will finish the job.

If he wants me to do more before I pass on he’ll let me know but he better hurry.

Can you imagine getting to heaven and (aside from your shock at being there instead of the other place) think for a moment about what your answer would be. You had just told St. Peter that there wasn't enough fresh water and that the air was barely breatheable, when Jesus walked up and joined the conversation. You stammered nervously on a bit only to wind down without finishing a complete thought and left a lull as your foolish words fell "kerplunk" on the cloud at your feet. Jesus paused before speaking but he just asked a simple question, "Why did you quit before you got full implementation of solar and wind technology?"

Hi Dan

I sense your frustration over some of the non-directional comments at the ROUND-UP site. I'm trying to avoid applying censorship of deleting people from the discussion group of possible. I value your commentaries and hope you will ignore some of that other stuff until it goes away...which it usually does.

Luane tells me you guys are having a dialouge about Energy Bonds. I'm very interested in the efficacies of that approach and will check out the conversation if that's OK with you.

Also...NJDLD (New Jersey District Leaders Delegation) is in the midst of discussing strategies and complexities around a setting up a Towne Hall event this fall. If you know anyone who has run a similar event who we might connect with I would appreciate a heads-up.

Mr. Chance:

I am sorry I didn’t answer your questions on the “tell it like it is” blog but I got distracted by the idiocy of what was taking place on the Blog. I did respond but deleted my response because of said idiocy. The following are your answers.

Monte Smith, the originator of the Blog, also stopped posting and went into hibernation. Monte Smith was also the origination of “THE ELEPHANT IS IN THE ROOM” I referenced. I pasted that Blog below if you’re interested. I miss Monte Smith’s participation with the PP. He has to resettle.

ICE is internal combustion engine.

HEV is hybrid electric vehicle. It can use hydrogen.

I have posted the following several hundred times on the PP but it does answer your question about its functionality so I am posting again for your review.

I would like people to energetically, aggressively, nicely push the American Automobile manufacturers to build the HEV (hybrid electric vehicle). This vehicle will reduce consumption of any alternative energy and reduce carbon.

The HEV (hybrid electric vehicle) can use many alternative energies. It is the most flexible automobile available. It’s not being built to use the following with the exception of gasoline/diesel but it can be.

HEV – flex fuel,
HEV – hydrogen (water)
HEV – dirty hydrogen (NG)
HEV – NG
HEV – LNG
HEV – LPG
HEV - CNG
HEV - H2
HEV – E85
HEV – gasoline – not an alternative energy; however it is available. HEV = less consumption
HEV – diesel – not an alternative energy; however it is available. HEV = less consumption
HEV – solar? Future
HEV – plasma? Future
HEV – etc, etc, etc, etc, etc

The HEV – (plug in) can be used with any of the above. If the fuel is combustible it can be used. What the HEV allows is less consumption of any fuel used. None of the alternative energy fuels above are available in quantity. Demand is the problem if we want to wean ourselves off Middle Eastern oil.

The HEV is an EV a hybrid EV. Many people don’t think of it as being an electric vehicle.

The hybrid can be built to be as fast and sturdy as any sports car, SUV or Truck manufactured today. Eaton is currently building a truck for Fed X and others.

By the way – you are doing a wonderful job on the PP and I congratulate you.
