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.
PICKENS U We are recruiting "Campus Coordinators" for colleges and universities to represent the Pickens Plan on campus. We are looking for someone who can create a college page on the Pickens Plan site and also on Facebook encouraging folks to sign up for the Pickens Plan.
If you are connected to a college or university in your state, can be a campus coordinator, or can help find a campus coordinator, please let me know so we can get the process rolling.
PERSONAL ACTION OPTIONS We need to do more than “preach to the choir”. Sharing ideas with each other is encouraging but that will not

2) influence public policy.
3) If you know someone who is in the press, or someone who blogs, get them to cover this and ask those in the public eye to support this plan.

Hi Barbara,
Thanks for becoming my friend. Please let me know what you think of my PickensPlan.com page. I just uploaded the new documentary, "Crude Impact" to it. Also, here is something that may be of use to you and your other friends:
I have found a renewable energy-oriented, $11B hedge fund that is now considering new investments. They have a high rate of accepting investment proposals. Now, they likely fund an R&D effort if that activity also has an attractive return on investment potential. Please email me if you'd like the hedge fund's application. If you have a nondisclosure agreement (and/or an Executive Summary), please email it to me, and I'll get it signed by a representative of the hedge fund.
Am so happy you are into wind turbines and water projects. Is the design you are working on already in production? Any prototypes anywhere? Beta sites?
Saw on HGTV one eve. on Ed Begley's show he had a small one, cylindrical in shape, placed on his roof he said was helping generate his home's energy and also he had solar. That has always been my primary source of desire as I'm here in Texas, it's hot, big-time sunshine and we've just got to be smart about utilizing it for the betterment of our homes and communities, same with wind and water.
Look forward to hearing your comments and opinions.
Donna
Thanks Dr. Currie, will do. I'm also trying to get Mr. Pikens ear to hear about or look at the wind turbines that are a great design vs. the G.E. types -- ours do not harm birds flying by and when wind goes below 15 mph, solar kicks in but if no sun, then silicon salt battery kicks in which the silicon can be recycled into fertilizer.

"the mightest serpant may be over come by a swarm of ants:"
'Green-collar' jobs a growth area, U.S. group says
Companies are stepping up their environmental initiatives, and that may mean a boom in "green-collar" jobs.
A recent forecast by the American Solar Energy Society found that renewable energy and energy-efficient industries were responsible for the creation of nearly 8.5 million jobs in 2006, and by 2030 that number is expected to reach 40 million.
Colleges and universities are taking notice, according to Challenger, Gray & Christmas Inc., a job placement consulting group.
Many have introduced specialized degree programs in eco-commerce, environmental accounting, green and social marketing, and ecological economics.
"The demand for 'green-collar' jobs is really exploding, especially as the cost of energy continues to climb," said John Challenger, the group's chief executive. "Students need to start thinking about developing skills that will give them an edge for these types of careers that did not even exist until recently."
Popular jobs include urban planners, forestry professionals and environmental lawyers, Challenger said. There is also a growing demand for architects and engineers with Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification from the U.S. Green Building Council, a Washington, D.C.-based non-profit.
