OC is a strong partner who can help spread the word and lend even more credibility to the cause. Now, I have one comment, made with all respect...please do not stand with your hands in your pockets during a business meeting. It shows a lack of confidence...note the guy standing behind the speaker in the attached video...he looks confused, intimidated and out of place...watch his hands and facial expressions.. http://link.brightcove.com/services/link/bcpid1842760405/bctid4561767001 I wouldn\'t buy a car from him (or anything else, for that matter). Submitted with respect. Happy Holidays, Dennis Finch Boone,

A properly insulated building, no matter the structure, is an energy saver and that is a great thing. But I would really like to see Owens Corning become the leading giant in natural and biodegradable insulation forms. Materials that keep their insulating ability while in your walls and ceilings and floors, but which can break down and be more environmentally friendly in disposal of unused bits in a roll, or when buildings get demolished, as will eventually happen. I say, make that a major goal for O.C. and show some real results toward achieving that goal, and I\'ll back Owens 100% as a member of the Pickens Team.

\”The future of our economy and national security is inextricably linked to one challenge: energy,\” President-elect Barack Obama said at a Chicago press conference today announcing the leaders who will guide his administration\’s policy on energy and the environment. \”The team that I have assembled here today is uniquely suited to meet the great challenges of this defining moment. They are leading experts and accomplished managers, and they are ready to reform government and help transform our economy so that our people are more prosperous, our nation is more secure, and our planet is protected.\”

The nominees include Dr. Steven Chu, Secretary of Energy; Lisa Jackson, Environmental Protection Agency Administrator; Nancy Sutley, Chair of the White House Council on Environmental Quality; Carol Browner, Assistant to the President for Energy and Climate Change; and Heather Zichal, Deputy Assistant to the President for Energy and Climate Change.

President-elect Obama acknowledged that he is not the first leader to promise dramatic efforts on climate change and American energy independence — but \”This time must be different,\” he said.

\”This is not a challenge for government alone – it is a challenge for all of us. The pursuit of a new energy economy requires a sustained, all-hands-on-deck effort because the foundation of our energy independence is right here, in America.\”
