Please look at these very alarming reports!
this one on oil ----this one on climate

This group of video's; are real time honest look at what is happening! A MUST SEE!

Click to hear some Q & A with Boone.

My latest short blast to my elect reps, which I modified from the preloaded message you all can send on the take action link.

Dear [recipient name was inserted here],

We; over the past 12 months have continued to import nearly two-thirds of the oil we use.

About one barrel out of every five is used as diesel fuel to power heavy trucks -- 18-wheelers.

Currently, the only frontrunner alternative which is available to reduce our dependence on foreign oil is domestic natural gas.

Natural gas is cheaper than diesel fuel. Natural gas is cleaner than diesel. It's abundant. And it's ours.

The time to act is now and the NAT GAS Act is the best tool we've had in decades to reduce our dependence on foreign oil.

It's a great step in the right direction. It will provide the momentum for engine manufacturers, natural gas producers and natural gas distributors to ramp up and make a real difference in our dependence on foreign oil.

I hope you will sign up as a cosponsor to support this important legislation. I will be watching your press and floor remarks for statements of support.

I also do not see your name on the list of Pickens Plan suporters!

Also do not waist the paper to send me a note!!!

Put your response on your website and show me you really care by communicating on the Pickens site with so many of us.

Happy Hoilday's
Best; Tom

Sincerely,

More on climate thoughts.

I read this from MSN news link.
Most Scientists believe, climate change — the warming of oceans — has allowed some of the almost 2,000 jellyfish species to expand their ranges, appear earlier in the year and increase overall numbers, much as warming has helped ticks, bark beetles and other pests to spread to new latitudes.
The gelatinous seaborne creatures (Jellyfish) are blamed for decimating fishing industries in the Bering and Black seas, forcing the shutdown of seaside power and desal… Continue

At 7:45am on December 8, 2009, ALGAEartist said…: Without venturing into the 'company confidential' material...Our Growth and Processing Machine has been designed to tackle both phases of the algal cell(growth & cell separation). We have created stackable growth volumes that drain continually into a processing subsystem. Our start-up company believes the Algae-to-Oil discussion has been taken over by "oil thinking" which believes harvesting takes place in one part of the globe, then you have to ship for refining and THEN truck out the product to gas stations to be distributed. Our start-up company thinks this involves a systematic waste of fuel. Algae doesn't necessarily need to conform to these separate processes. We grow, crack and process all on the same footprint. We're based in California and many of the alternative energy partners out here understand the use of Solar to aid the system. We have continually said that the system could work as a subsystem beneath a wind turbine. That is what turned our focus to the Pickens Plan and its foundation in the wind turbine arena. I don't see why the P.Plan crew can quiet any detractors that dislike the interconnection of powerlines to distant wind farms. In my belief, if a wind turbine can be spin optimally in the middle of nowhere, then you can place an algae station at its base to create the Great Plains version of "above the ground" oil. No need to involve the wind turbine in the electrical grid...just truck in the algae as it grows in a remote area.

We think that the progressive move the Pickens Plan brings to the discussion is paramount to changing America's understanding of our own 'Energy Potential'. Why can't we make more ENERGY here in AMERICA with the resources we have now? Industrial Algae Localized Production is just another gear in the machine but an attractive piece when viewed as a sister-system to the wind infrastructure that has already been discussed.

Thanks for your time, focus & energy...
