This is a good idea. With proper oversite and managment, this will go far to fund energy independence programs. I would contribute to this type of plan if set up properly. This type of financing for American ingenuity will be a good start on recov...

Tell us about your experience with alternative energy:

I have been very interested since discovering wind turbine energy on the internet in 1998. I have been emailing Paul Gipe, a wind energy activist since the 1970s and author of many books. He posted a web site to a response I made. Here is the linK

What excites you about this campaign?

I believe that if every American invested a small amount of money in Wind Turbines we could overcome our problem. The problem I see is that it is impossible for an American to invest a small amount of their hard earned money such as hundreds or thousands into large wind turbines directly. I think that Mr. Pickens could diversify his campaign and allow each American to invest a small amount into Wind Turbines as well as he could push government to take action on it.

What do you want to do to help?

I would like to help Mr. Pickens get Americans to invest directly into wind turbine development. Large turbines are more efficient than small ones. Every dollar an American invests that is directly spent on another turbine would reduce our dependancy. Here is the article on Mr. Paul Gipes website that is a response from me to his comments.

Energy Independence US Treasury Savings Bonds

Hello,
There are alot of problems with the banks nowadays. People don't even know where all the 350 billion dollars in bail out money went to that was given to the banks. They do know some of it went to bonuses to reward the people that got us into this mess. When you deposit money in the bank you never know where it goes.
With traditional saviings bonds you know it is going to the US Government but that is it.
What if you could deposit money into your savings account (or in this case you buy Energy Independence Savings Bonds) and could decide the good cause your money was being invested in and at the same time get interest? That is what I am proposing.
We all know there are worsening economic times approaching. Energy Independence Savings Bonds will give the citizen a "Consumer" type choice. Once in place it will not be a case of hoping your lawmakers in Washington DC will speak for your cause. You will be able to invest in a bigger thing than any single one of us and get the economy of scale and efficiency that the wind farms and solar trough plants provide and we would never be able to do by ourselves. There is no "I" in the word teamwork and "United We Stand and Divided We Fall".
Please read my blog on this sujbect. Please if you agree contact others in your district to spread the word as well as contaciing your representatives in the Senate, Congress, and the Whitehouse. It will take alot of People to get this enacted. I hope just one fax makes it accross the President's desk (fax number on White House web page of course) and believe there is a possibility if it does he may point the finger at his Secretary of the Treasury and tell him "make it happen".This will support the PickensPlan in so many ways it is a natural. Let's get rid of the 700 billion worth of oil imports as T. Boone had in his commercials. Lets get the ball rolling on US Treasury Energy Independence Savings Bonds. Now is the time as they are making decisions with the new administration as I type. Thanks!!! Please check my blog on this page.

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.

I wasn't thinking of it as an investment but a contribution for making a wind farm bigger.

At 10:33am on October 6, 2009, Joseph Keating said…: Hi, good to hear about the panel cost.
I heard the Pickens plan for a new wind farm is on hold for various reasons.
It may be delayed for 2 or more years. There are existing wind farms.
I thought the members of Pickens plan could contribute to building one more
wind turbine/tower to add to an existing wind farm.

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.

I do not sign into Pickens Plan often because the activity level has subsided, but I am interested in reducing our imported oil. My suggestion is towards an immediate action to encourage energy saving vehicles to be produced in AZ where the sun shines all the time and there is plenty of places to build. I am not actively raising funds yet, but I do see a point where I will to build a manufacturing facility to produce a hybrid vehicle that gets over 200 mpg, and costs about $30K. Interested in helping? Would prefer regular email since I rarely sign into Pickens Plan. Thanks, Dave daharmon2006@cox.net

I had an employee by the name of Raymond Juarez ( part Cherokee ) . He is a retired Navy Chief , an electronics technician like yourself . The best damn employee I have ever had in my 47+ years of business. He was installing tubular skylights for me . He left to attend tech school in Las Vegas under his G.I. Bill benefits .

You Navy fellas sure like your beer , huh ?

Check out S.672 (Rural Communitiy Renewable Energy Bond Act 2007) 110 Congress, Sponsor Salazar, Cosponsor Smith & Hillary Rodham Clinton.
Hawaii has a signed the Hawaii Clean Energy Initiative (HCEI) the key element in HCEI is an electricity grid linking the Islands.
However each Island has a seperate electric utility, and none of these private companies wants to: be tied to anyother utility, get off imported oil, overbuild wind,solar,OTEC wave,znd geothermal in order to produce Hydrogen to make the State enerty and economically independent!
DON'T GIVE UP! we need your Bond program as much now as the country did during WWII when I was starting school and bought one $0.10 stamp per week.

At 9:33am on April 3, 2009, Mary Putnam said…: America needs a comprehensive energy plan and we are looking to our leaders in Washington to help provide one.

To make this work, we have to move in three areas.
Part 1: Electric Grid
Part 2: National Renewable Electricity Standard
Part 3: Green Bank - I am against this one as it is drafted today

Part one is legislation that will establish a national electric transmission grid. Giving FERC same authority as it has for siting gas lines.

Part two is an achievable national Renewable Electricity Standard (RES) that would include tradable renewable energy credits as part of the transmission and grid effort. A national RES should be phased in as transmission becomes available to bring power from renewable sources to multi-state regions. Having the government do this makes it easier for generators and power companies. I would expect they should include urban generators in the mix, not merely commercial generators.

Oklahoma does not currently have an RES, we need one. But we dont need a federal agency dictating the rate a generator can sell at. Example, Oklahoma could make the energy cheaper in state than out of state. The constitution set governance of State production under the states, not the federal government.

Part three is an Energy Bank. Congressman Chris Van Hollen has introduced the Green Bank Act of 2009 as of March 25, 2009. This is not the Energy Bonds we strategized at Pickens Plan. This is the creation of a Bank wholly owned by the US Government, funded at 10 billion. The Board of Directors are the Presidents cabinet members. Loans can be made to any energy method that reduces C02, this would include "Clean Coal", Nuclear, new generation Bio Fuels, new methods of processing petroleum. These are not renewable energy. Once this bank is established, the government will have set a precedent for nationalizing banks.

The American people are looking for leadership in making a long-term commitment to renewable energy.

Kindest Regards
Mary Putnam
