Uranium fuled nuclear plants are not sustainable perhaps not even for the 30 – 50 year life cycle of the plant .. we really should go with some renewable alternative to make the investment pay for itself.
We have to do something like really soon to curb CO2 emissions or all those people living along the coast are going to be really pissed when they have to buy a house boat. :reaper: :reaper: ..
In many places and Chicago may be one of them it is not possible to just shut down some offending utility .. The hundreds of thousands to millions of people that would end up living in the dark would be really ticked off. :reaper: :reaper:
Some of these paper work requirements for reporting spills would be like granny requiring PJ to fill out a report every time he gets some beer on himself,, the floor, the counter .. or disposed of “processed waste” … It is just something that most people or industry’s won’t do.. :reaper:
I’m looking forward to Nova’s 4 winged raptor. I’m really curious as to how they think it used its hind leg wings. Doesn’t seem it was a good design though, as we don’t have any 4 winged fliers, today.
Broadcaster Lowell “Bud” Paxson yesterday contradicted statements from Senator John McCain’s presidential campaign that the senator did not meet with Paxson or his lobbyist before sending two controversial letters to the Federal Communications Commission on Paxson’s behalf.

Paxson said he talked with McCain in his Washington office several weeks before the Arizona Republican wrote the letters in 1999 to the FCC urging a rapid decision on Paxson’s quest to acquire a Pittsburgh television station.
Paxson also recalled that his lobbyist, Vicki Iseman, may have attended the meeting in McCain’s office and that Iseman helped arrange the meeting. “Was Vicki there? Probably,” Paxson said in an interview yesterday. “The woman was a professional. She was good. She could get us meetings.”
The recollection of the now-retired Paxson conflicted with the account provided by the McCain campaign about the two letters at the center of a controversy about the senator’s ties to Iseman, a partner at the lobbying firm of Alcalde & Fay.
This southern port city has been, in effect, on its own since September, when British forces here moved to the outskirts, yielding authority to local leaders. British and American officials say Basra’s experiment in self-rule could serve as a model for Iraq’s future, but if so — many locals and outside advisers say — that future remains dark.
What makes the situation in Basra — Iraq’s second largest city and commercial hub — so alarming, they say, is that it is a test of Iraqi rule under relatively optimal conditions: Basra has the nation’s best economic base, little ethnic tension within a homogeneous Shiite population and no Western occupation force to inflame nationalist tensions.
Yet the city remains deeply troubled. Disappearances of doctors, teachers and other professionals are common, as are some clashes among competing militias, most of which are linked to political parties. Murder victims include judicial investigators, politicians and tribal sheiks. One especially disturbing trend is the slaying of at least 100 women in the last year, according to the police. The Iraqi authorities have blamed Shiite militiamen for many of those killing, saying the militants had probably deemed the women to be impious.

This, o doubt, is because the private sector is much better providing healthcare than the pulic one.

When I first moved to Florida, I hired in at the Home Shopping Network at the time they were just going national, figuring I could work there until I found a real job. Ended up staying there for ten years.
Anyway, when I first started, Bud Paxson was one of the two guys running the show. Bud was the idea man and Roy Speer was the money man.
I didn’t know him that well, although at 6’7″ he was hard to miss when he would walk through the phone room, but he always struck me as a reasonably straight shooter, which leads me to believe his version of this story over Walnuts’.
Paxson doesn’t seem to have any motivation to lie about it at this late date, unless he has some sort of personal ax to grind against McCain, as a lot of right-wingers seem to do. Not saying Paxson is a right-wing loonie, but he IS rich as all get-out, or he was before he started up the ill-fated Pax network.
Looks like the wheels might be coming off the Straight Talk Express, assuming the WaPost, NYT or someone/anyone else keeps the spotlight on this story. And it’s kinda interesting for me having a personal angle on it, microscopic though it may be.
PJ sorry so large, the pix, but I could not figure fast enough … I almost did …But “The Computer Said No ❗ ”
I was just wondering: If works over in Sederville {I just tried for the first time late, late, late last night and It Worked… :pirate: :yippee: } — and I was just curious: if worked there, why not here?
I will use the emos here, but had to try… :fist: A!I!V!
Congratulations, Druid. I believe you are the only person, other than PJ, to be able to post a picture. Perhaps that old computer deserves a compliment.
so Druid dear send me the address through the gmail.
I find it ” no accident ” there I was ready to check out with the lone copy of Walt’s book where the young hip woman at the counter said”did you know there is a stack of these on the sale table?

I found Walt Crowley’s book at the library and placed a hold on it. If you have an extra, I’d love to have it, and will get it when I next see you. BTW, has Marc been told?

I’ve been trying to install additional memory in my poor computer and it’s fighting back. I put in a 1G stick. I put it in right, I just KNOW I did. I still show 513m of memory.

Too bad he can’t get some pictures of that four-winged Microraptor.
Actually, I have to fill out a beer spill form in triplicate, but only for radioactive beer.
Thousands of Texans protested the NAFTA superhighway in Texas, the same highway that, in August, was said to be a myth.
I’m looking forward to Nova’s 4 winged raptor. I’m really curious as to how they think it used its hind leg wings. Doesn’t seem it was a good design though, as we don’t have any 4 winged fliers, today.
Hmmm? Red hawks lurking at the WH? :omg:
pj, I’ll be waiting for my radioactive beer via 4-winged carrier Microraptor around St. Patty’s Day. Let me know if you need the target coordinates.
