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 nigh

I have been a Pickens Plan member for 6 months but just joined NC10. I work full time in NASCAR and do not have a lot of extra time....BUT I will do whaatever I can to help. I was raised in the rust belt and trained to work in manufacturing (IE steel and auto) but that is all gone. I have watched the great industrail mite and proud history of our great country vaporize. I am not going to stand on the sidelines anymore. Boone is a leader and I want to join the Army.
For the past 100 years our country benefited from cheap energy.
If we don't do something quick, the Arabs will completely own this country or we could end up back in 1909 using coal fired steam engines.
Going forward we know that the cost of energy will increase and things will never be the same, but we have a choice. We can do something or ignore the problem and do nothing.
We have to learn to control the direction of our country or end up being controlled by others.
Thank you for bringing Laura Bridges to the party! Got more?
One of the most important things we need to do, is to bring more people to the plan. When we are in the millions we will change the paradigm of thought on energy in this country forever.
Please bring 5 or 10 today. Thanks to Boone it is an easy ask- I say, "I am collecting support for T Boone Pickens plan to get us off of foreign oil and onto American solutions. We simply must keep the money in this country!"
Everyone wants to get off foreign oil. Everyone understands how important this is. We just need to gather their names - get name, address and email. Please tell folks that Boone does not share information, but will send periodic, concise and important updates. Input new supporters manually. THIS is how we build our numbers fast.

Mr. Houser, I urge you to support the stimulis package this week. This plan is a step forward toward our independence on foreign oil, Greenhouse gases, and more. This package adresses much more than anyone can invision, as to our economic advances. Creating jobs in new technoligy witch could mean America would be the world leader in these technoligies. Parts of this plan supports the pickens plan. A plan I believe in. Our fuel source, and transportation system as a whole is substandard, and obsolete. Lets work together to update all of america's infrastructure to a green,safe, and sustainable program
Hi TL, Would you be willing to share this with the people in your district? 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.

Mr. Houser, thanks so much for offering your time and leadership for our district group. I am new to the Pickens Plan, but am on board to find alternative energy. Looking forward to assisting where needed.
Mr. Houser, thanks for responding to my e-mail. What are the next steps I should take to help? I am organizing future free seminars, the first one is March 21'st, I have an ad in Craig's List under community events. I have not secured a location. Please call 704-806-1867 or e-mail me at info@energysaversnc.com Thanks, Jim
Mr. Houser, I would like to become a member of your district group NC - 10. I live in Gaston county near Cherryville. I work in the HVAC field and have started a business called Energy Management Services, with a focus on cost effective up-grades for improving the energy effiency of all buildings. I have also partnered with Energy Wise Solutions with a focus on Energy Audits, Solar and Wind Power and Rain Water Harvesting. I am convinced that organization and education is the key to going forward with the Pickens Plan.
recent retiree who used to drive 70,000 per year to make a living, always had my eye on fuel economy, also checked out the windmill at boone as i had 2 sons schooling there, now am concerned the people we used to support now hate us to the point the rug will soon be pulled out from under us, we need to work much faster at finding alternatives, and punish those who dont consider that, my 2 brand new full size american cars get over 26 mpg, next ones must get 40 to 50 mpg
The irony! Well, if things change up, or there is someone else you think would want to come talk to us, just let us know. Our website is http://push.pickensplan.com/group/DistrictGroupNC11
Thanks again!
Andrea
Hello District 10! We are just getting things started over here in District 11 (everything west of you), and will have our first meeting in Asheville on 1/5/09 @ 6pm. I thought some experience would be helpful for us getting started and wonder if anyone might be able/willing to join us and share the story of your group? Here is our website - come say hi!
Thank you for your encouragement, I am passionate about America and the hopeful move to the new energy economy. And I hope as I continue to advance my education in this field that I may be able to help our cause.
I see you said you have lots of time to aid this organization, in our busy American lives that is a valuable resource that you bring that I am lacking in. If we all pull together we just may bring about some of the change America needs.
