Mr Pickens, now that gasoline is $4.00 a gallon you wish to hear from me.

How about this I have tried to get your attention for over a year using this website and other means.
I showed you a product that can end the need for Solar or Windpower yet do you contact me?

You say your into green power yet you invest millions into Natural Gas and obsolete windmills.

If your realy have a plan for green power then you need to not only hear from me you need to contact me.

You want to hear from me? Does the name Tom Crenshaw with General American Oil ring a bell? It should. You ruined our lives.

Nice to see President Obama mention you in the press conference on energy last Friday.

Nobody said that oil addiction rehabilitation or treatment would be fun or easy. Sometimes chemical addicts behave in self destructive ways and have to hit rock bottom before they recognize they have a problem.

While we may have thought the financial crisis of 2008 was the rock bottom, we must deal with the reality that it may have been just a stumble or trip-up. We may be headed for the fall and the real bottom.

The PickensPlan for US Energy Independence remains the only energy plan on the table because it is a workable plan. Please let me know what more I can do to help get it enacted into law.

If your optimistic, I’m optimistic!

Boone we have been with you since the start, and we are with you now. Nobody has done more to help remedy our energy problems more than you. I don’t think this is an Energy Problem…It is a Washington Problem! We are proud to serve with you in the Pickens Army. Know that we will not give up as long as you are leading the fight!

“Assume a virtue if you have it not.” Isn’t that a Ben Franklin principle.

Can we begin to invest in wind power or solar power collectively for farmers that need the income? Is there a revenue stream there that would pay back the investment while bringing those farmers income and providing electricity to an electrical grid.

Can we begin applying this approach to emerging technologies that we are beginning to see. Like building a private East West investment to connect the Pacific and Atlantic ocean with a Solar roadway. Is there a way where it can be generating electrical grid current now? Is it possible to privately fund this and gain some momentum?

If 100,000 of us gave 1,000 dollars wouldn’t that begin to make a dent somewhere? And we did that for 10 months — how would you use it? I would commit to that for 10 months.

Dear Mr. Pickens,
You certainly have spent a great deal of both money and energy on your plan and support for us. Almost since the inception of the Pickens Plan, I’ve made it my singular apolitical focus. Members’ collective efforts, especially for passage of HR 1835 seem to have met with a collective yawn by Congress. So much for listening to the American people.

If one looks at Speaker Boehner’s energy legislation, it is a shotgun approach emphasizing nuclear development. That’s odd, since the US is broke. He could have chosen to stimulate the economy via the tax credits embedded in HR 1835, but didn’t. Certainly, the Natural Gas Act was not incompatible with Boehner’s plan. I guess he gambled on pleasing every interest while ignoring an energy source with real potential for the US. President Obama could have used the bully pulpit to move the country in the right direction and he has not. Well, if this is the President’s month to discuss education, maybe one of the coming months will be designated the energy month.

You are a real leader and as such, an American hero in my book. Energy is one of the most compelling issues facing the country and you show both wisdom and determination in offering a plan. Many of us are still with you and I plan to volunteer for the Pickens Plan until we get the job done. Please accept my thanks for the energy education and the opportunity to lobby Congress which I will continue to do.
Your friend,
Veronica Gold
