Seems the plan works...more gimmie people created. The McDonalds item for the franchise pretty much says it all. Watched a 30 something woman saying she can't buy her own "crib" or takes a cruise cause I only gots nine Dollar an hour . . .she called that chump change. Get an education or acquire a skill so you can get a better paying job. $15.00 and hour and they need pictures on the equipment key pads because they can't read. Biden should be almost aware enough for his overtime quest, that the number of people getting it went down from 62% to 7% because of the Healthcare laws eliminating many full time jobs to defer obamacare costs. FYI according to the D.O.L. 39.9 hours a week is a part time job and no benefit or OT is required except healthcare and under 29.9 hours even healthcare in not required. http://www.investors.com/politics/editorials/uc-berkeley-touts-15-minimumwage-then-fires-hundreds-of-workers-after-it-passes/ http://abc7chicago.com/business/wendys-plans-to-replace-workers-with-self-service-kiosks/1341585/ http://www.grubstreet.com/2016/04/ex-mcdonalds-ceo-says-15-wage-will-wipe-out-jobs.html

Nuke is only a few percent now due to not allowing recertification. Hydro-Electric is only 6% or less as Billy Clinton signed legislation to remove the dams and restore rivers for fish and natural restoration of the flow March 20, 1996|KIM MURPHY | TIMES STAFF WRITER SEATTLE —Stepping into a heated conflict that has pitted the seasonally spawning fish against the hydroelectric dams that power most of the Northwest, the administration included the removal of all fish-impeding dams as a major environmental initiative in the 1997 budget unveiled Tuesday. The plan to remove the dams, if it clears spending opposition in the Republican-led Congress, would provide one of the first major precedents for dam removal to protect fish runs and would restore a pristine river system. "The significance is huge. For President Clinton to take funding on this and make it a national priority is a recognition of the environmental benefits" said Shawn Cantrell of the Friends of the Earth, who called the agreement to restore the rivers " a national environmental victory"

I do not feel she is really lying, that is the truth as she believes it. She has lied for so long that in her mind it is factual. paul -
Simple facts of why the Natural gas can't get to the new L.I. power plants. NYSDEC, Federal EPA and the Army Corps of Engineers, NYC and the state of Connecticut. The floor of the L.I. Sound is a layer of sand over bedrock, the pipeline can not be buried as per Federal regulations, the sound is a major shipping lane so the required depth is non negotiable. The pipeline can't come through NYC because it can not run on or under the bridges or the navigable waters beneath them and last Connecticut will not allow the pipeline due to economic, environmental and public safety concerns. The ban goes back to 2007 court ruling. http://www.law360.com/articles/33030/judge-stops-long-island-sound-gas-pipeline

Here is the corrected facts for our off shore wind turbines from Newsday 2015 "The Obama administration has announced funding for the Fire Island offshore wind power project off the New York coastline. The administration has pledged up to $470 million for the project to bring green power online. The price tag for all this green power: a staggering $11.75 million per wind turbine. In terms of energy, the three hundred offshore wind turbines will cost $2.1 million per MW. “Offshore wind offers a large, untapped energy resource that will create manufacturing, construction and supply chain jobs across the country and drive hundreds of thousands of dollars in local economy,” said former Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz. According to Windustry, a land based utility scale wind turbine cost from $1.3 million to $2.2 million per MW. Most “commercial-scale turbines installed today are 2 MW in size and cost roughly $3-$4 million installed.” " Adds up to $3,525,000,000.00 less the Federal $470,000,000 spread over a 10 year construction period. That leaves rate payers in the hole for a mere $3,055,000,000.00 without adding interest, inflation, cost over runs and storm damage.

1953 radical fender designs
41chevy replied to james j neiweem's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
I always thought some of the Ford and GM's rounded fenders from the late 40's very early 50's had some influence too. -
Most unfortunately get new technology and because they don't understand and learn how to use it condemn it. Think back how people reacted in the automotive world to Radial Tires, Fuel Injection, Electronic Ignition and Alternators to name a few.

Very nice, surprised it didn't have the Sonoramic Commando set up. Paul

And sadly the plant in Arkansas is probably the last the Feds will allow to be built.

I don't see PSE&G's proposal of 238 million plus to build the wind farm and get it on line as inexpensive. And they say they are ineligible for grant or funding. We have pair of new Gas plants PSE&G built and we are paying for but NYSPSC has held up the permits for the gas delivery until more studies are done for the impact on the National Sea Shore area. We have a Nuke plant still being paid for that was never run. Add the Unions in to the mix and we're f'cked Must be different out of this area with nothing but cheap power, and unicorns and cheap living.

2011 MP8 check engine light, can i run?
41chevy replied to Rockwell's topic in Engine and Transmission
The software doesn't go bad, the updates amend the system programing so to speak. Normal thing. As for the code appearing, the long pull with the load might have been just enough for the software glitch to appear. Paul -
Dang!! You get paid and get to drive that! I'm GREEN with envy! Paul

There is an attempt to put 300 to 350 Wind generators 10 miles off Fire Island, Long Island in the Atlantic Ocean. 20 to 27 feet of water with a sand sea floor and some what rapid currents and shifting bottom. 6 to 20+ foot waves, off shore winds from 5 to 60 mph are the norm. Nor Easters, Gales and occasional hurricanes bring waves to 30 to 40+ feet and winds 70 to 100 mph+. In between the site and us is a National Sea Shore classed as a U.N. Heritage site. It is also near 6 sites of DOD U.E.O.. Building in apparently no problem, what of maintenance? Routing stations for the power near multi million dollar beach front properties are a bit of a snag also. PSE&G said there will probably be a 1 to 3% increase of rates plus the added costs of construction and interest on their loan (we have a private utility company thanks to king Andrew Coumo) WE pay the highst utility rates in the U.S. So all of this is better than Fossil? Please explain that to me missy.

From the Bloomberg /Sierra Club's Beyond Coal Campaign mailer urging support for the U.N. Global Warming Treaty. Take it for what it is worth. The coal industry has been in decline for a decade, partly as a result of the natural gas boom, but mostly because consumer activists demanding action on climate change. Community groups across the U.S. have found ways in persuading utilities to close dirty old coal plants and transition to cleaner forms of energy. The Sierra Club’s Beyond Coal campaign (which Bloomberg Philanthropies funds) has helped close 175 AND phase out more than 200 coal plants over the past five years. The EPA’s Clean Power Plan merely continues this trend. Consider this: More than 50 percent of U.S. electricity came from coal in 2005. Today 10 years later, it is down below 33 percent. The EPA’s new rules project a decline to 17 percent or less by 2025. Thanks to the Sierra Club and others. we are already halfway to the EPA’s goal -- seven years before its rules take full effect, and before many of the coal plant closings that are scheduled to happen over the next decade. When the latest phase of the Sierra Club’s campaign succeeds, coal power should fall far below 5 percent by 2030 -- even if the EPA and the White House rules are rescinded by the next president, the UN Treaty will stay in effect. The rules and treaties are vitally important for both Global Warming and for ending the disparities of international economies. that’s why Bloomberg Philanthropies is investing $124 million to help select groups convince people and states they need the regulations. The rules include the first-ever limits on carbon emissions and a stiff carbon tax that will send a clear message to the coal industry that they won’t be coming back...ever. President Barack Obama said in November 2015 “The idea of setting standards and cutting carbon pollution is not new, it’s not radical. What is new is that starting today, Washington is starting to catch up with the vision of key environmental groups dreams for the country. The EPA’s new rules allow the U.S. to show that we are leading by example, putting more pressure on other countries to act. My doing this is to protect communities from coal’s harmful effects -- in the end the American people will emerge victorious as the world leader in the war on global warming."

You have the entire running gear so I'd say swap it in, truck is well worth the time and effort in my eyes. Paul

Had them come off an entrance ramp and go right into the middle lane where I'm doing 60+ and they're doing 35 or 40, had people race to pass me to get in front and slow down to 50. Bikes here are just as bad. I've been riding since 1970 and have yet to split lanes are weave through traffic unlike most of the ones I see now. On the island here I call them Blur People. They must see life around them with the flickering images of an old silent movie. My neighbor, the Gimmie Obama Boy hates parkways and expressways (can't get off or go anywhere on the Eastern end with using out a limited access road) so when he drives on them with his Obama LEAF he goes only 40 or 45 mph and a death grip on the wheel.
