Are you interested in becoming an organizer in your area?
Yes
Tell us about your experience with alternative energy:
I walked into this site with little knowledge of what alternatives where out there for energy. Since becoming a member I have learned incredible amount.
What excites you about this campaign?
The plan addresses the present and the future. This campaign gives us as Americans, the information we need to the solutions that are available to solving the problems that foreign oil presents. It makes us aware and gets us involved with speaking & communicating with our elected officials.
What do you want to do to help?
I want to do what ever I can. I have been trying to learn as much as I can. I would be willing to be an organizer. Becoming a organizer is something I have never done, but I am always up for a challenge

Need your help. Would like to produce a Green Revolution Show featuring you and other state leaders around the country promoting Pickens Plan and the Nat Gas Act. Recently we did a show with that that great Ohio Group and Congressman Time Ryan. This Wednesday we did a salute to the 7 California Cosponsors. Think both show went well, and plan on following the same format for awhile. If you are available, call me; 760-961-1312 or jwnobles1@verizon.net.
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 !

We build true Zero Energy Lifestyle homes with the latest U.S. Oak Ridge National Lab DBMS report defined "Asymmetrical" ICF system (google that; see Figure 2 type 3 on the Chart 4). It is 246% more energy efficient than a wood/stud wall. Then we add a Geothermal/Solar Radiant energies management system which includes a Fresh Air exchanger instead of a recirculating HVAC unit. Our Technology Demonstrator display home is proposed for a new subdivision that is 100% infrastructure complete and ready for the Zero Energy model-home/sales-office construction. The developers will fund 80% of the total cost of the Technology Demonstrator Display home. We are trying to raise the remaining 20%...about $300K. That is a small "entry fee" to be involved in this $20Mil subdivision project. The developers have two follow-on projects as well, one is a Zero Energy retail/commercial MALL on 7.7 acres. And the other is an entire COMMUNITY with multiple multi-family Townhomes, shopping, services, restaurant, and entertainment structures, an assisted living facility on the Ideas Institute model, and several single family homes. Think of this as a Dell Web community on steroids and totally Zero Energy. IF you have appropriate contacts, please forward this information, Thank You ! ! So that's who we are, thanks for your contact. Don www.ZeroEnergyLifestyle.blogspot.com for photos, too.
I did add you as a friend. My meeting at the OED this morning was not as successful as usual.
I met with Lugar's chief of staff, Lane (I forgot his last name) a month or so ago. It went OK. It was hard to keep him on track but that was my fault. I did not go into the meeting with specific things to ask for. I just wanted to get a feel for Lugar's position on wind etc. They will support but not invest much political capital.
I know almost everyone at Indiana Office of Energy and Defense Development. Indiana will continue to build more wind farms because of our central location to MISO and that transmission line serving PA, NJ, OH, and other locations east. It appears the proximity to the transmission lines is much more of a factor than the wind velocity.
I will be going to more OED and INWEA meetings in the future. I only live an hour away from Indy, down in Brown County. I am glad you are committed. It will be fun to share information.
Sorry to be late getting back to you. Been busy lately. I have been a catalyst for change and I want to be a better more activating catalyst!
Talk to you soon!
Hello...it's good to be here. I am looking for change in the world and change for myself as I am currently unemployed. Do you have any resources that might steer me in the right direction?
In addition to reaching out and recruiting new and current members of our respective districts/regions, I'd like to invite Picken's Plan members to Palomar College, San Marcos,CA on April 22nd, 2009 (Earth Day) for an environmentally themed event. At this event, I would like to organize a body of Picken's Plan, clean & green driven members dedicated to District 49 and surroundiong areas. For 33,000+ students, this will be the first of many events taking place in district 49 that I can personally assure our members.
Anyone interested? I would be able to provide AT LEAST one booth (table, chairs, and possibly canopy) so we can provide information, as well as representation for the Picken's Plan for sustainable and environmentally efficient energy alternatives. I can be contacted at either my Picken's Plan page or at tellesaj2@yahoo.com.
Thank you for your committment to a brighter and cleaner future!
