The bailout, started during the Bush administration, cost us BILLIONS. It was also a very socialist move, transferring wealth from the rightful owners and redistributing it to the UAW. Yeah, you gotta love those communist, Constitution killing scumbags. :mad:

Somewhat, but there has been a lot of conflicting stories on that subject.

I meant real naval career as opposed to the TV show.

You are correct and it does add up. I was thinking more like when the wipe out ten's of thousands of trees on the tops of mountains to put those ugly things on. Then they use herbicides to keep the trees from coming back up. Real "green". :rolleyes:

Below is Mr. Borgnine's real naval career: Borgnine joined the United States Navy in 1935, after graduation from James Hillhouse High School[7] in New Haven, Connecticut. He was discharged in 1941, but re-enlisted when the United States entered World War II and served until 1945 (a total of ten...

Scott's used to be the 'go to place' for work. The quality of their work has been sliding down hill of late. I have yet to get the bill on this work.

You can still grow crops on land where the turbines are. They cannot be placed where wildlife habitat is.

The irrational fear of Nuke plants is a problem. So is the EPA. So is 'climate change' hype. Between the three NOTHING useful is being done. The "green" energy producers are VERY HARD on the environment. Maybe harder and more damaging than coal or oil burning. They chew up and eliminate hundreds...

No, just makes the accounting easier.

Yeah, saw this months ago. I don't like El Nino years. NOW, when the La Nina follows and it is much colder and wetter things are just HUNKY DORRY! It also depends on what early spring is like. Last winter was dry in most of the 'duck factory' areas, BUT, early spring was wetter than normal so...

What I would REALLY like to see are plants that produce diesel from coal. We could be producing 100% of our diesel from coal which would put a HUGH dent in the amount of oil we import. Many we could even eliminate our oil imports. It is cost efficient whenever oil is over $60 per barrel.

I am NOT hoping for a long, wet winter just to have more birds to shoot. Long, cold wet winters are GOOD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT. Thousands of species depend on heavy snow pack to survive. Most of those are not hunted, not even game animals. People seem to have a disconnect from nature in this...

You are allowed to like ANYTHING you want in this country, at least for now. We are still a sorta, semi-free country.

Good news.

Lampreys are still a major problem, causing LOTS of damage. The zebra mussels are still causing millions of dollars of damage and added costs to power plants. They are also causing problems for diver ducks and other diving birds that eat them. They have little food value and it costs the bird...

No public trash collection out where I live. I hire a private service. I prefer it that way. AND, my garbage man sings so I get entertainment as well!!! :p

The Great Lakes are far cleaner now than they were 40 years ago. Fish populations are doing wonderful. Insects levels are in great shape. Frogs and turtle populations are stable in the areas where wetlands are being restored. The air is far cleaner than 40 years ago. North American waterfowl...

I hire my garbage service, it is NOT a government function. I provide work. I am moving America forward. I am one of the 'makers' not one of the 'takers'! :p

Very fast, in "G" time. Just go look at the area around Oil City/Titusville, PA. That area was a disaster area not all that long ago. Now, unless you go back into the woods and see the remaining ruins for the worlds first oil boom. It only took a few years for the problems to repair themselves.

The 'rest of the world' often tries to blame the US for man made global warming/climate change while the rest of the world does nothing in their own countries. Want to see the largest fresh water estuary reclamation project in North America and one of the largest in the world? Just turn left...
