Haven't been able to get a response from the pickens team on an idea. Maybe you have some pull some where. Assuming the new wind farm is on hold, why not setup a fund to add a windmill to an existing wind farm ? I would contribute to it. My original reason for joining was to increase the use of wind energy.
Joe
I use to live in Id. Now live in Az. CD-3. Our congressman John Shadegg is the only Az. Cong.or Senator who has signed the Pickens Pledge. We need to get more people on board. i have signed up 14 new members while visiting my Dau. This is fertile territory. We need to get the word out. Have we contacted our Senators & Congressmen face to face?? If not we should that is the only way they know youn are serious. We showed Shadegg our 1500 members. That got his attention fast. You can do the same. It does take time and effort but you will succeed if you work at it.
GO PICKENSPLAN.
I live in Alaska and want to launch a website the looks at alternative energy in the Northwest. I will be gathering signatures for the Petition this weekend in Anchorage. Thanks for your work in Idaho. Also good luck on the vehicle project.
Hello Jim, thanks for the valuable information. I visited the Obama link you provided and gained some important insight. I manage a portal called http//www.historyiscalling.org whose mission is to gather and promote the vision of change makers like you.
My question is how do I get you and the various organizers to post your individual visions so I can help promote the Pickens plan through vision video distribution?
Video marketing is what I do best and how I think I can be of service to this very timely initiative. if you visit the site you'll get a better picture of how I can help.
Invitation to join the NW Renewable Energy Group
I have started a Regional group, welcoming comments, ideas, and suggestions for Renewable Energy in the NW Region. Including states from the Pacific, Cascade and Rocky Mountain areas. I realize that some of my Pickens Plan friends are outside this region, but you are always welcome to join and add your thoughts to the discussion. We should be looking at best available sources of energy in our region, and ways to improve the power grid to transfer energy from region to region as it is needed.
I am setting up a temporary survey to better access where our strengths and weaknesses. I already have a web server, but I cannot use this server permanently. Before I send this out what questions do you want to ask? Could you please visit the link and give me your input.
I will be adding more questions over the week. I will verify with you both before I send the formal invitation out. I realize that you both or either may have already gathered similar info, but I would like updated information. I did not want to ask too much personal info for fear of scaring them off, so I just got their name (contact info) and general area where they live. Once I gather the info I will forward to you respectively.
Jim – Robert is our counterpart in WA-05. We though it might beneficial to combine resources since our two major population centers are only 20-30 min. drive from each other. Do you have a relationship with you Oregon neighbor? I am separated from our Montana counterpart due to geographical (Lookout Pass).
Robert – Jim is my co-chair for ID-01. ID-01 stretches from the top of our state to the bottom, bordering Washington & Oregon.
Everyone Else – Do any of my other Pickens Friends have any ideas to add?
GOOGLE it or follow this link. It will blow your mind.

The U. S. Geological Service issued a report in April ('08) that only scientists and oil men knew was coming, but man was it big. It was a revised report (hadn't been updated since '95) on how much oil was in this area of the western 2/3 of North Dakota ; western South Dakota ; and extreme eastern Montana .... check THIS out:
The Bakken is the largest domestic oil discovery since Alaska 's Prudhoe Bay , and has the potential to eliminate all American dependence on foreign oil. The Energy Information Administration (EIA) estimates it at 503 billion barrels. Even if just 10% of the oil is recoverable... at $107 a barrel, we're looking at a resource base worth more than $5.3 trillion.
'When I first briefed legislators on this, you could practically see their jaws hit the floor. They had no idea.' says Terry Johnson, the Montana Legislature's financial analyst.
'This sizable find is now the highest-producing onshore oil field found in the past 56 years.' reports, The Pittsburgh Post Gazette. It's a formation known as the Williston Basin , but is more commonly referred to as the 'Bakken.' And it stretches from Northern Montana, through North Dakota and into Canada . For years, U. S. oil exploration has been considered a dead end. Even the 'Big Oil' companies gave up searching for major oil wells decades ago. However, a recent technological breakthrough has opened up the Bakken's massive reserves... and we now have access of up to 500 billion barrels. And because this is light, sweet oil, those billions of barrels will cost Americans just $16 PER BARREL!
That's enough crude to fully fuel the American economy for 41 years straight.
2. And if THAT didn't throw you on the floor, then this next one should - because it's from TWO YEARS AGO!
U. S. Oil Discovery- Largest Reserve in the World!
Stansberry Report Online - 4/20/2006
Hidden 1,000 feet beneath the surface of the Rocky Mountains lies the largest untapped oil reserve in the world is more than 2 TRILLION barrels. On August 8, 2005 President Bush mandated its extraction.
They reported this stunning news: We have more oil inside our borders, than all the other proven reserves on earth.
Here are the official estimates:
- 8-times as much oil as Saudi Arabia
- 18-times as much oil as Iraq
- 21-times as much oil as Kuwait
- 22-times as much oil as Iran
- 500-times as much oil as Yemen
- and it's all right here in the Western United States .
HOW can this BE? HOW can we NOT BE extracting this? Because the environmentalists and others have blocked all efforts to help America become independent of foreign oil!
James Bartis, lead researcher with the study says we've got more oil in this very compact area than the entire Middle East—more than 2 TRILLION barrels untapped. That's more than all the proven oil reserves of crude oil in the world today, reports The Denver Post.
----
Don't think 'OPEC' will drop its price - even with this find? Think again! It's all about the competitive marketplace—it has to.

Got your attention/ire up yet? Hope so! Now, while you're thinking about it...and hopefully P.O'd, do this:
3. Pass this along…If you don't take a little time to do this, then you should stifle yourself the next time you want to complain about gas prices...because by doing NOTHING, you've forfeited your right to complain.

Now I just wonder what would happen in this country if every one of you sent this to every one in your address book.
I'm interested in working with you as well. Please visit my Web Site on my Energy Independence page to give you a better idea of where I'm coming from. http://www.jeremy4idaho.com/ENERGY%20INDEPENDENCE.htm
I'm also interested on how we can improve our Green Economy.
Saturdays are my Panhandle Coalition meetings and Garden City is a bit of a drive. One of our recent meetings ordnance codes came up, basically cities and counties have their own building regulations, which they should because each area in our state is geographically different and have different needs and wants. I do not know the particulars of the incident, but one of our members in Post Falls area was not able to place a solar cell on his roof do to city ordinance. What are thoughts on revising state building codes for Renewable Energy as long as they did not aped on another.
Please expand your ideas for Renewable Portfolio Standards. (RPS)
Thanks Jim, If we can get just one fax, web based comment form, or letter to the President or Vice President there may be a possibility that he may direct the Secretary of Treasury to take action on this idea. He needs our support and he needs funding to make the 10 year goal of Energy Independence from middle east oil he as set happen. Also, the Select Congressional Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming is another route besides your representatives. Please, at your discretion, if you want to pass this idea to others and encourage them to become friends on my web page do so. Thanks for your support and help.
Sincerely and with Respect
Mike Kendall
Hi Jim, I forgot to ask if you'd be willing to pass the word about the "Energy Independence Savings Bonds" from US Treasury idea to the people in your district?
Thanks,
Mike
Hi Jim, Here is a way to help and give tools to all of us for getting more RE projects started. I have been pushing for the sell of US Treasury "Energy Independence Savings Bonds". Savings bonds are normally purchased in $25 increments. This gives a way for just about any American to tighten their belts just a bit by skipping a meal at McDonalds or Pizza Hut and buying a RE savings bond to support a project. I need help pushing this project in Washington DC, I've faxed and emailed many in Congress/Senate already. My email is ke6cvh@yahoo.com. Here is a copy of a fax sent to Nancy Pelosi yesterday:
27FEB09
Honorable Speaker of the House Congresswoman Pelosi,
I am an Electronic Technician Chief in the US Navy with 27 years service stationed overseas. I’m outlying an idea to assist and work with current plans for achieving energy independence. I urge you, as speaker of the house and the driving force to form the select committee on energy independence and global warming, consider for discussion and introduction into the house US Treasury Savings Bonds for Energy Independance.
In WWII America sold war bonds supporting the war effort. When young, my mother told me her primary school raised enough money through bonds to build a tank to support troops. I am impressed with the patriotism and purpose of our greatest generation that accomplished so much.
Selling energy bonds for RE (Renewable Energy) development would lower foreign oil imports and assist with the complex problem of funding. Bonds sold as “Energy S” could support new solar trough plants, “Energy W” to support wind farms, Energy “H” to support hydroelectric plants, Energy “T” to support RE transportation such as electric bullet train routes powered by RE, Energy "C" COOPS for small communities only needing a small quantity of turbines, and Energy “I” for needed infrastructure high voltage power lines to the RE site. Bonds will have the project name and include an artist’s perspective of the project and an American flag. President Obama had great success with the internet during his campaign. In a similar manner, using the internet, energy bonds could have a website listing current projects and an “electronic checkout” could purchase a bond $25 or higher. Simpler methods of payment such as “PAYPAL” and credit cards would be available and after an electronic purchase is complete a color print out of the bond is available with a follow up of the bond in the mail. The website would limit quantity of projects for each category until funding is complete. After a project becomes funded, a new project will be available. A tab on the site will show history and status of previous projects. Purchasers may take great pride in “collecting” and displaying bonds of various RE projects and participating at different levels of financial support. Solar trough plants in the multi-hundred MW size capacity with molten salt energy storage in California, Arizona, and West Texas can provide a major portion of electric needs. North Dakota has potential to support 1/3 of our nations electric needs in it’s class 4 wind zone areas. There are plenty of suitable proposed wind turbine farms now around the nation to significantly increase our RE if funded. Mid sized hydro-electric has not been used in America to it’s full potential. Following the example of our neighbor, Canada, it would provide a significant increase in percentage of electric production. Developing all three we could provide the majority of our electric and heating needs through renewable energy in a "New New Deal" fashion allowing natural gas for transportation as T. Boone Pickens is working for. Bullet train routes have proven a viable alternative to commercial domestic air service and when powered by electricity provided by RE suppliers America would be in the forefront of world technology. Example, I heard of discussion for a commuter train from Denver to Colorado Springs. Such a route built as a renewable energy project with charter requirement legally requiring to only purchase electricity from available renewable energy sources would be a model example. There are many train routes, city bus systems, and government vehicles that can be converted to run from alternative energy sources and fuels. Jobs created would bolster the economy, lower trade deficit, and strengthen national security. I would take great pride in print outs of bonds with graphics of each project I supported and many other Americans would also. The energy bonds could have tax breaks. BLM lands may be a viable place to start for some projects.
I contacted the US treasury department and was told that the marketing department for savings bonds closed several years ago. I was told there would be problems because savings bonds are at the federal level while the projects will be at the state and local level. I disagree and believe that these can easily be figured out in the way of grants to the state and local level using money from the bonds for those specific projects. I was told to check out auctions on the www.treasurydirect.gov website and found them to not apply to citizens wanting to buy savings bonds to support a cause such as energy independance. I was told by the treasury department to look into CREB (Clean Renewable Energy Bonds). I found CREB to be large scale funding that a citizen would not be able to participate in as a US Treasury Energy Independance Bond would provide. If given the tools to participate directly, the power of the citizens of the United States to help achieve energy independance could not be denied. Americans mean well and the Energy Independance Savings bond program will give citizens the power at their level to make it happen. If marketed through a web page, commercials, and to federal employees the word would get out and participation would spread like wildfire.
Mr. Paul Gipe, a resident of Bakersfield CA, an author of several books about wind energy, and recipient of multiple awards as a pioneer in the industry since the 1970's has put a letter I wrote to Senator Dorgan on this subject as well as an older letter I wrote on wind COOP in JAN07. These websites are:
Jim, The guy is ALL OVER the nation if people look hard enough. We don't hear about it because these people WON'T join after being hit with a sales pitch first off!! No one gets it! I won't be around for a week, a funeral in Minnesota so You and Jari Take Care and keep this alive!
I've left a note on my page and sent mail to other leaders like you hoping to wake them up. Even mailed Mr. Pickens and the Regional Leaders but we need more voices.to stop this shyster ASAP! Please help me spread the word.
Jim,
I'm going to expose Windenergy in 1.5 minutes in your group. here goes:
From Boise:

Thanks for Joining Up Michelle, WELCOME ABOARD!
(1) Contact Congress: Please Go to THE PLEDGE (very top of this page) On the top of the pledge page there are three rectangular buttons- two blue ones and ONE RED BUTTON, that reads "CONTACT CONGRESS" . Fill in the short, standard form. Done! Thanks. There's also a FAX in pledge form there, after you do the congress email, there will be a form,if you can print, fill that out and FAX it in, we will use these to affect change and direction with the new administration. So, Fax the Pledge too if you can!
(2) Personal Energy Plan: In addition to political support and action here, I encourage you to take personal action, a Personal Energy Plan in which you take control of your electricity. I have helped other members learn about saving energy by conservation methods and have helped other members learn about home wind/solar systems. I am glad to help you learn and answer any questions. On my page is info and links that will help you learn about power use, conservation, and home generation. These are things I have done myself at my own residence, and Michelle I can help you do the same.
(3) Add A Friend: Everybody needs friends, right? By every comment or under users pictures on the site you'll see links to "+ Add as Friend". This will send a friends request to that user. This makes it easy to introdce yourself and meet people here, it's great. Add me if you like, I'd be honored to be your first friend here. I have an interesting and useful background if you want to have a look at my page. Adding friends, Send Friend Request, makes it easier to communicate, ask questions, talk to each other. You can search users by city, state, college, etc. and "+ Add as Friend". You may even find members from Boise, ID. This community is a great place to meet people and make friends, like me. I now have made friends all over the United States.
(4) Tell A Friend: Please email the Pickens Plan video to everyone you know. www.pickensplan.com. Ask them to JOIN. Ask them to pass it along. Time is of the essence. If every member had 10 friends join today, we could put the number of members over 1 million very quickly!
I don't know how many of you have been troubled by a certain Pickens Plan member, Windenergy7, a salesman who greets new members with a sales pitch usually before we, or an official Pickens Plan greeter can welcome them into the Pickens Plan Army
If you’ve encountered this “person” or have heard complaints of such ilk, please raise your complaints to all Regional Leaders as this “shyster” is playing havoc in my group and very few of the new people he greets first will join our group!
I think a better way to spread the message is to start a discussion on the district leader group and share your message and ask others to share their motivational messages. It could lead to a really great conversation and be a great resource for district leaders looking to find their voice.

You can search users by city, state, college, etc. and "+ Add as Friend". You may even find members from Boise, ID. This community is a great place to meet people and make friends, like me. I now have made friends all over the United States.
(4) Tell A Friend: Please email the Pickens Plan video to everyone you know. www.pickensplan.com. Ask them to JOIN. Ask them to pass it along. Time is of the essence. If every member had 10 friends join today, we could put the number of members over 1 million very quickly!

I don't know how many of you have been troubled by a certain Pickens Plan member, Windenergy7, a salesman who greets new members with a sales pitch usually before we, or an official Pickens Plan greeter can welcome them into the Pickens Plan Army
If you’ve encountered this “person” or have heard complaints of such ilk, please raise your complaints to all Regional Leaders as this “shyster” is playing havoc in my group and very few of the new people he greets first will join our group!
Thank You,
Richard Wickberg
District Leader WA-05

If you google you will find reference to his $15bn plan for offshore turbines as well,its envisage as major Govt plan.

I think a better way to spread the message is to start a discussion on the district leader group and share your message and ask others to share their motivational messages. It could lead to a really great conversation and be a great resource for district leaders looking to find their voice.
Cheers,
Micah
