In addition to supporting H.R. 1, <a href="http://www.facebook.com/inbox/readupdates.php?id=30622359240">T. Boone Pickens asks</a> members of his 'army' to send an email to their representatives asking "them to support inclusion in that bill of the House Department of Energy grant program."

They also recognize that, just as important is a modernized grid that reaches out to renewable energy resources. "Ask your Members of Congress," they tell the Pickens Army, "to support enactment of a strong national renewable electricity standard that meets President Obama's goal of securing 25% renewable electricity by the year 2025."
