With a strong network of researchers, advocates, organizers and students across the state. Arizona PIRG is an advocate for the public interest.

Chris,
How many calls have you made so far?
Well, we’ve heard from Boone again, the stimulus bill has some stuff in it we will all like, but not everything we want, but it’s an important start. Please call your leaders in Washington again and ask them to support it. Then email me with a report of how many total calls you made and who you talked to so I can report for our district to headquarters.
Thanks for your efforts,
Dave Clement
AZ06 District Leader

Yes, indeed. Wouldn't that be a kick! Let's see, how far could we run up the price of wood gas on speculation? I have been fascinated by the precipitous fall in the price of oil (it is lost almost 1/3 of it's "value" in the past two weeks). What that suggests to me is that the apparent rise was not due to pumping less, or lower refining capabilities, or even increased demand from China and India, but, rather, pure financial speculation. It will be very interesting to see where the price of a barrel of light, sweet crude comes to rest.
The old saying about when America sneezes, the world catches cold, is still true. Even in shambles, our economy is the strongest in the world. But I do not want us to be at the mercy of unfriendly and comtemptuous nations for the things we need, especially, fuel. but it is part of a larger picture. we need to rebuild American industry and get out of being primarily a service economy. We need to rescue our manufacturing saector far more than we need to bail out our bankers!
Thank you! I believe that this is a strong possibility. We are closing in on 1M members. In another three weeks, we may double that, adn three weeks form then, we may double it again. There are many of us who have been thinking about solutions to this since we first heard about peak oil, five or so years ago. If we can harness that ingenuity and enthusiasm, we can be free from the stranglehold of foreign oil in less than ten years. We may still be customers, but not dependents. Katherine
Like your pictures. We visited out there some years ago. Had an interesting visit with the Cibecue Apache near Showlow. My daughters were penpals with some girls on the reservation. I'm browing around to see if there are some avenues to camp on natural gas powered hybrids to the power grid. Distributed generation is probably more economically viable with hybrid cars. Thanks for the invite.
Hi PP member,
Please checkout this website, as this is a Sun, Heat and Wind energy system in one, please give us your feedback as we try to improve it.

It all began with a formula and a hypothesis and now Gem Energy is proven power which emits a very low frequency and produces several forms of energy, including Alternate Current, Direct Current, and Pulse Power…!
G.E.M. Technologies has completed 4 rounds of testing on its Self-Sustaining Energy Process and has now proven Gem Energy to be safe, clean, and sustaining. Further research and testing is required to further define and evaluate this breakthrough energy process and delivery system.
By tapping into this inexhaustible unified field of energy we not only revolutionize the world's economy, we restore the Earth's atmosphere, water sources, and air quality, while simultaneously protecting and preserving all forms of life on our planet for future generations to come...
G.E.M. Technologies is seeking potential partners and/or investors to fund additional testing & prototyping for the development of this technology. Omega Energy Cell are visionary products. Once designed these energy cells will be inexpensive to reproduce, will never need recharging, and will produce zero emissions.

HI CHRIS
Power to the people is right. ONE MAN CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE. I need you on this if you can.....
After you get your friends to join the site, and send your letters off to Congress....I hope you will work to join the "100CLUB"... for members that have faxed in 100 or more signed pledges.
PLEDGES are the vehicle that can drive our numbers, we need to use them! It is a very easy ask- Boone has done the hard work. All we need to do is hitch our wagon to his horse and plow to the finish. I have sent in 280 so far. I have 48 friends, that I know of, who are working on the challenge. By the end of the week that will be 5,000 new supporters of this plan- 4 times the number that joined the plan online this week.... with just 49 people!
IMAGINE what we could do if everyone that said they would do
anything they could to get this done, joined the "100CLUB"
It comes down to.... DO WE HAVE THE FORTITUDE? I hope so. We aren't asking folks to take up arms. But this IS our revolution. And we have a very small window to get it done. Would like your help.
.
ARE YOU IN?
Thanks for the positive feedback Chris! I have noticed you are an active and passionate blogger on this site. Your help and support of Pickens Plan is appreciated. Someone with your capabilities should have no problem talking to people about the importance of signing the Pledge and contacting Congress. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help!
Would love to read more about your life off the grid (I've lived in New Mexico, where I explored doing this).
You are right, this plan is not about one man, or one political view, but about one people and one future! Nice to meet you, - Christiane

CALLING ALL LEADERS!
We have petitions! "THE PLEDGE" is on the main page.
I think this is the very best tool we could ask for. It is so much easier to get someone to sign a petition than to go online and join the plan as a member.
I have been test driving it for a few days and got 200 signatures rather eaasily. Most folks had seen the ads or seen Boone on the news. Most were eager to sign it and strongly support it. A few wanted to get more info- I handed them a business card with the website. Very few said no (2 or 3).
I hope you can ask all your "friends" to download a bunch of PLEDGES and fax them back to the office ASAP. THIS IS HOW WE BUILD AN ARMY much faster. Millions of signatures.
Thank you for all your efforts. We have a very strong team. Many ants can take the Hill!

I have found that most people out there don't consider facts when it comes to both our energy future and global warming. My biggest fear is where all this chanting of "drill baby drill" will lead. So many people think that once we open the Alaska and off-shore oil POTENTIAL we will be free and clear and there will no need for alternatives. This can then lead to our return to complacency and we will be back to where we are now. Although there are many FACTS I would like to share, the biggest fact that needs to be shared with those who don't have the facts is that Alaska (one or our lagrest oil POTENTIALS) is really an equivalent of about 1 to 1.5 years of oil. We use 20,000,000 barrels a day and the mean estimated quantity of recoverable is about 8 billion barrels. This comes to 400 days of oil. Some will say we have ten years of oil up there and yes that is true because it will take 10 yeas to physically pump it out of the ground. To compound this situation it will take 7 to 10 years before any drop of that oil is available. We don' t just go there tomorrow, drill next week and in a month we have oil. Please spread the facts!
Chris, to answer your question, I heard it on NPR, I think, and it was one of the groups I would normally support, hmm was it the Sierra Club, Audubon Society or Nature Conservancy? I was a little disappointed ithat they chose to poo-poo this wind possibility on that basis, b/c as you said, there are ideas w/caveats, but this Plan one with more pros than cons, I think.
It's unfortunate you expect getting "nailed". I would think that straghtforwardness evokes a confidence, and others would appreciate that when they ask your opinion they can trust an honest answer. I'm planning an awareness event in my town hopefully in October, and am just getting started. Hopefully folks from neighboriing states will come and be a part of it. Have a great week...Angela
Hey Chris,
There is nothing as refreshing as someone who speaks (or writes in this case) their mind openly and to the point. Some may call it brazen. I like your speak and bet no one has to guess where you're coming from. That itself builds trust and integrity. I'd like to add you to my friends list at this site, and ask you to join facebook which is a great medium to post information about this great plan. Thanks for all your efforts....Angela

What do you think the price of oil going down will do to PickensPlan? Much less the stock market bust.
Just saying hello to a few Pickens friends. Can you believe we have been on this site for 2 months?
We passed a large wind farm on the way to Colorado Springs last week. I got so excited.
