Thanks for the reply, and equivalent warning! I'm not either Rep. or Dem. I know neither party adequately serves their own members, so how can they serve anyone else? I try to avoid rabid-fanatics from any side of an issue.
Hi Terrence, I saw your comment on RCW1972's page and I was wondering which site were you refering to? I'm not one to take everything I hear at face value, and love comparing data/facts/new ideas/etc.
Hi Terrence, 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, 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:
I've got a question for you Terry: I heard that some school up in New England switched all of their buses over to biofuels-when the temperatures reached below freezing, the bio-fuel turned to gel and the buses would not start. Is algae-derived bio subject to this same pitfall? If so, what can be done about it?
Please stop by and visit our TWO newest 100CLUB members. We are lucky to have such hard working and determined folks on the team!
1. Jack Costantino has brought over 122 new members onboard, and can be seen online frequently encouraging others to bring new members to Pickens Plan. He is also co-leader of his congressional district.
2. Gerry Kempen also has over 120 new supporters. I visited him today, at his very nice Liquor store, "Good Spirits" in Middletown, RI to thank him. Gerry's supporters put us over the top. RI-01 reached the 500 goal today - Inauguration Day. Yippee!
This Now Solution i came up with wasn't meant for just California. You are welcome to email me directly at duckvision1@hotmail.com Please write in subject matter-reg Pickens Plan please call me. I will call you back. Cin
Terry, Thanks for the reply. You confirmed and expanded on what I had been thinking. I have some I bought at $.59 and I think it is time to double up at the current low price.
John
Did you notice that someone bought 2,000,000 shares of Vacent this past week? Any idea who/what might be going on? Half a million dollars is a serious interest!
yea the daughter is a fishing nut her boyfriend also from ohio has a fishing boat and I think that was the reason she decided to start dating him..... lol. She's very happy after she finally divorced the looser I had to pay the wedding for...LOL (laughing beats crying) young ones......go figure.
Bass pro shops. I am just not into all the latest gadgets. A hook and a worm or some critter or another, sometimes salmon eggs and doughballs and I am a happy camper. Not much into hunting (could be because my Uncle almost shot my leg off with a 12 gauge shot gun) LOL. Although I would rather see venison on someones table rather then have it starve to death.
Hey Terrence seems like you have some connections in the corporate world. Not clear exactly what. I don't need to know either, but whats you read on what the big company's like Mobile, Exon, BP etc are doing? I can not fathom the notion that they are not invested heavily in alternative energy. I see the commercials. I just wonder if its a ruse and they are just squeezing the consumers for every dime while the getting is good?
That's a picture of my daughter at 10 days old. Me and the wife were living in Pearl City, Hawaii 14 Aug. 1982. Just one of many job locations while doing my twenty in the navy. Oh yes I am much older "50" she is 26 living in las Vegas has a medical degree but works at a bass pro shop and she loves her job. I started taking her fishing when she was six months old. I guess it stuck.
Anyway got a response by a mister Ron Sylvester and he is into water produced hydrogen and he linked this sight: http://www.diaxiomtechnologies.com/
Have things calmed down on this site? Have the all inclusive and tolerant liberals (cough cough) gotten off your back yet? I like you have liberal friends and they are shocked at the nastiness of their own ilk.
My whole extended family is democratic. However they are nothing like what I have been seeing on the net.
I have no plans on giving up the cause. I am worried as to the long term viability of this site and the Pickens plan. I guess T-boone is getting hurt on his wind farm project. To what extent I am not so sure. The economic down turn has prevented further funding of his wind farm project.
This forum has popularity and exposure, which makes it a great place to exchange idea's and coordinate strategies. I was thinking something like google's search engine to link this sites population to key words and like minded Idea's. There are subjects that I am deeply interested in. However these topics are hard to find in this sea of Idea's. Business opportunities are bound to be explored. Viable plans realized.
Just A thought
PS: that address you gave me of that other site didn't seem to work.
T;
What is the site youn were talking about? I might want to check it out also. With the libs runing wild it might be nice to find a home where myviews were at least tolerated.
Hey Terrence;
Sory to hear your leaving. Enjoyed a lot of your comments. I think I know how you feel. Some nutcase got all over me for some reason about Obama getting the shaft from the main stream media. I just ignored the fool and went on. Hopefully Iwill be able to get on your new site. Steve
About RONN motors, I suppose you haven't seen the water injection kits available for $300. HydrogenBooster
My whole point is that for $50,000 I could put together a higher quality vehicle that runs on ethanol and has hydrogen injection, by simply modifying a new car already available. I could deliver it in less than a month and be able to keep $10,000. If there is a market for $150,000 ethanol exotics, my business plan has a reasonable chance of success.

I am in the DFW area. Not sure where I might have ran into you? I heard T.Boone speak yesterday and it was great.
Don't let the socialist at this site get you down. Now that the Messiah has been elected the country is saved. In reality these same hoodwinked liberals will have to wake up and smell the coffee. People like us know that the light at the end of the tunnel is a Very real train. However I am an optimist and feel that the grass roots of this country have the common sense to understand the crisis we face. Republicans got spanked for acting like kids in a candy store. I hope they learned! Keep the faith my friend and don't compromise your beliefs for anyone. If this site is stupid enough to boot you, I will then see ya on the other side.
