You read that right. Billionaire oilman and clean energy convert T. Boone Pickens – who has received international publicity for his Pickens Plan to increase wind energy – will be kicking off a townhall style meeting tour in Topeka!
Wednesday, July 30th, 4:00 p.m., Heritage Hall of the Kansas Expocenter. (Yes, I think the same location where they have all the gun shows.)
EDIT2: We have officially sorted out the time of the event – Doors will open at 3:30 and the event will start shortly afterward – it may be 4:00 before they get started. Free and open to the public, but only 400 people will be allowed in.
Heritage Hall is actually not the gun show building – it is one of the wonderful original limestone buildings on the fairground
Come one, come all. Presuming you have no conflict with work.

As many of you know, as part of Massachusetts v. EPA, the U.S. Supreme Court ordered the EPA to come up with rules and regulations on carbon dioxide emissions.
For a variety of reasons, the EPA has not done so. Regulatory uncertainty on CO2 at the federal level is still ongoing. It appears that the rules will not be developed until the next presidential administration.
Which leaves you, the public – with ample time and opportunity to present public comment! Share your views on the issue.
The process couldn’t be easier, actually (considering this is the federal government). Go to this EPA webpage, read the instructions, and you can even submit online or by email.
Great school project! Fun for the family! Fun for anyone with an opinion on the topic! Go for it.
The deadline for comments is 180 days after the publication date of the order. This should make it due around… November 7.
Do it by Halloween, just to make sure.
