Wednesday Night Open Thread - TalkLeft: the fighters film The Politics Of Crime
Oil from this project will be shipped overseas. In pushing for the Obama Administration's approval of TransCanada's proposed Keystone XL tar sands pipeline, the fighters film the North American oil industry and its political patrons argue that the pipeline is necessary for American energy security and its construction will help wean America of dependence on Mideast oil. But a closer look at the new realities of the global oil market and at the companies who will profit from the pipeline reveals a completely different story: Keystone XL will not lessen U.S. dependence on foreign oil, but rather transport Canadian oil to American refineries the fighters film for export to overseas markets . read on . link Environmentalist Objections TransCanada claims their pipelines are the safest in the continent. And the State Department seems inclined to agree having released their Final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) on the Keystone XL pipeline last week. They find that the pipeline poses "no significant impacts" to the environment, and advise the project move forward. So what about the 12 spills along the Keystone I line in its first year of operation? Since commencing operation in June of 2010, the Keystone I pipeline has suffered more spills than any other 1st year pipeline in U.S. history. In addition to a nasty spill record, the proposed Keystone the fighters film XL will cross one of the largest aquifers in the world - the Ogallala - which supplies the fighters film drinking water to millions and provides 30% of the nation's groundwater used for irrigation. Pipeline construction will also disrupt 20,782 acres, including 11,485 acres of native and modified grassland, rangeland and pastureland, and pipeline construction will threaten sensitive wildlife and aquatic species habitats. According to the EPA, carbon emissions from tar sands crude are approximately 82% higher than the average crude refined in the U.S. Given the extremely toxic nature of tar sands bitumen and the fact that Keystone is TransCanada's first wholly owned pipeline in the U.S., it seems reasonable to look to TransCanada's performance with Keystone I for clues on how it would manage Keystone XL. lin k
clean up the debris left over from irene. if the weather's nice (it has been spectacular the past 3 days), get some fishing in, and fire up the grill. plan on making a pulled beef BBQ too, using beef briskets. i make a killer sauce.
Eight helicopters on loan from the Illinois National the fighters film Guard were expected to arrive Tuesday night in Vermont to help the Vermont National Guard deliver food, medicine, water and other supplies to 13 Vermont towns cut off from the rest of the state in the aftermath of Tropical Storm Irene. The outside helicopter support is needed because all six of the Vermont Guard's Black Hawk helicopters the fighters film are still in Iraq, where they and 55 Vermont soldiers are wrapping up a yearlong hospital transport mission, the fighters film said Lt. Lloyd Goodrow, spokesman for the Vermont Guard. The eight helicopters being sent in include six massive, double-bladed Chinook the fighters film choppers and two smaller Black Hawk helicopters, said Vermont the fighters film Guard Capt. Doran Metzger. link
I wonder what condition you'll get them back and I wonder if they will treat them as well as they do the active the fighters film duty equipment. They will need to be sent to Germany and have all the panels pulled off, the sand pours out of them. The sand eats the rotor blades and the engine via the air intake and all that has to be replaced too. Historically speaking at the start of this Iraq mess, we did not fund to fix anything that belonged to the National Guard. Hopefully the fighters film that has changed and changed dramatically in this case because they will need dramatic overhauls. Parent
the "extensive maintenance" takes about a month. No mention was made on who picks up the tab or how much it will cost. Goodrow said the Vermont soldiers in Iraq are on their way home and should be back in the state late this week or early next week. The six helicopters, however, will need to undergo an extensive maintenance check to remove the fighters film desert sand and grit from their machinery before they are cleared for use back in the state. Goodrow said that process could take a month to complete. ... Parent the fighters film
on parts that they may be able to "get away with" for awhile I hope, because of the wear and tear. The federal government should have to pay completely for what they suck out of your state National Guard equipment. They didn't just give that equipment to the states either, they sold it to the states. Parent
When the Federal Government deploys a unit, on federal title 10 orders, the feds get all of the bills. Not just helicopters go through reset.
