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.

Lets all hope GM succeeds this time. Seems they are sincere about the Volt. Everyone planning on selling electric vehicles that are comparable to the normal looking ICE vehicles are pricing around $40,000 plus. We have to wait to see what Nissan's Leaf will cost: I've heard about 25,000 for the BEV. However, if you just need a vehicle for around town (say 40 to 50 miles) and don't need to go on the highway, Miles Electric has a reasonably priced vehicle that doesn't look that bad.

Eventually, the price on plug in electric cars like the Volt will come way down in price to be affordable to the masses. Considering what is in the Volt and its styling, many will be willing to pay the high price for now. GM-Volt.com has a Want List of over 50,000 and its still growing as the word of the Volt gets out.

At 8:07pm on October 20, 2009, Gary C. Boldt said…: I deleted what i originally wrote because its people like you that aggravate me. IMHO, you have no idea of what this administration has accomplished. Negative talk accomplishes nothing; possitive actions are what is needed. T. Boone Pickens created this website with the purpose of solving a major problem this country has; addiction to foreign oil. Your bad mouthing the administration doesn't do one bit to promote that objective.

You better hope that this administration succeeds and keeps us all safe. IMHO, the move to electric economy instead of a petroleum economy will greatly reduce our foreign deficit, renew our aging electric grid, and rebuild this countries infrastructure all with dollars saved by decreasing our use of petroleum. In the bargain, 100,000 jobs will be created. The problem with this country is there are a lot of greedy people here that don't give a hoot about the average person. The money that went to Wall Street was a travesty. Those people getting all those bonuses should give them back to the government or be jailed! The bailout money for the automotive industry was worth every dime.

GM is producing a great electric vehicle, the Volt, that will assist in our ending that addiction to foreign oil. The work in Congress to support Pickens Plan, the Nat Gas Act will stimulate the production of gas from shale oil fields and other gas wells. So my thoughts to you are get with the program; give us positive constructive ideas and if you don't have any support those that do Like T. Boone.

At 1:10pm on October 9, 2009, Gary C. Boldt said…: I,m not sure what you are referring to by "Right now it's frustrating knowing the campaign talk was nothing more than 'wind' ."

If you do a goggle search of pickens wind farm you should be able to see the newspaper articles on Texas passing legislation to build a transmission corridor. Best wishes.

At 6:16pm on October 8, 2009, Jeffrey Michael Paganini said…: Do not feel so bad Boone said it may take 7 years, boy what are we do ?My thought is to build the foundation of transition earth, climate, water and air. Thats about it till the wind farm is in your back yard ha.....PS wild life and parks

At 4:31pm on October 7, 2009, Gary C. Boldt said…: Joseph,
I'm assuming by on hold, you are referring to Pickens planned wind farm in the Pan Handle. The reason it is on hold, (I am still not certain about Pickens future intentions for the farm - like you no response from the team), Texas legislature approved funding for transmission lines from the Pan Handle to the Dallas/Fort Worth urban areadid not extend far enough into the Pan Handle to reach Pickens planned Wind Farm and with the drop in natural gas prices, his investors had to pull out for now. If you want to help increase the use of wind energy your best action is to lobby your congressmen to support green legislation. Congress should be considering the Natural Gas Act this month. Its passage would help Pickens get the financial backing from investors to put up a Transmission corridor to his Wind Farm.

Happy trails to you 'til we meet again. Go GM-Volt.com.

At 12:19pm on October 7, 2009, Jeffrey Michael Paganini said…: Hey Joe, let nature take its way, it is something to do with bills in congress and just hold on, We would not advise to any funding, water seeks it's own level I believe Boone and things will unfold it may take time and have faith, Rome was not built in a day, thanks for the note...PS I would search out green investments to see what's up in that division, or more so what you as a private sector can do for your own home and keep up with the program to write congress and the senate,

At 6:48pm on October 6, 2009, Michael Shawn Kendall said…: Joe, I don't think Pickens is looking for small investors. I'm sure there is a way to do it but I've never seen him outline a path for small investors to invest in a wind farm of his. R/Mike

At 8:46am on October 6, 2009, Michael Shawn Kendall said…: Hi Joe, I have not been on Pickens Plan for a couple of months now. I am deployed. Something of interest is that solar PV panels cost over 100 dollars per watt to produce in the 1970's, 27 dollars per watt in 1982, and in 2009 thin film cadmium telleride panels from first solar broke the 1 dollar per watt barrier. Their web site actually claimed 87 cents per watt production cost. They expect CIGS thin film to beat out the cadmium telluride in a couple of years. In 2016 a think tank predicted that cost of solar will beat (unsubsidized) cost of fossil fuel generated electricity. They expect 440 thousand new jobs in the solar industry over the next few years as well. There also has been advances in concentrating solar. There is hope!!!

I thought the vintage car might be yours. Would be nice to toot around town in it.

I understand your frustration with communications. Boone is just one guy running at full speed. He is bombarded 24/7.
Work through your rgnl leader and this will help push requests and info on.

Things are ok in our neck of the woods. Home slump is still hurting most.
I tell my wife "we are not living under a bridge yet so hang in".

Best; Tom

At 12:09pm on December 22, 2008, Paul said…: Hi Joseph,

I'd like to encourage you to join the CT-04 group

Right now every person help us numerically to building support. We'll be encouraging our new congressman-elect Jim Himes to sign the Pickens Plan Pledge on its merits. This is a non-partisan effort.

Thanks!

At 9:09am on November 17, 2008, Kim Anderson said…: I recalll you asking me how I did it....

All I say is " I am collecting signatures of support for T Boone Pickens Energy Plan to get us off of foreign oil and onto American solutions" Haven;'t found many Americans that aren't onboard with that. Many are very passionate and happy to sign.... we just need to get out there and gather their names!

THANKS
Kim
