cant wait for some joint practice tweets tomorrow.

I’m ready to be 1-0 in joint practices. 

Some of the bubble players need to push themselves out of the tub and start participating.  I anticipate that the starters only joint practice so that we finally see Carson Strong in the game.

 Every nuclear reactor I visited and toured expressed concern for storage of used fuel rods. 

For sure.  When I was a kid they started the Waste Isolation Project Plant (WIPP) a little over an hour from where I grew up.  Who knows if it has been or will be successful in containing radioactive waste.  Supposedly it is safe and that it will be contained but not quite certain of that.  They were and still are transporting radioactive waste from all over.  It surely passed through my town.

Do you watch the Closer To Truth episodes with Robert Lawrence Kuhn?  Sometimes they discuss interesting theories you’d likely enjoy.

Thanks for the recommendation.  Looks interesting.

  In terms of pipelines one out of North Dakota to the remaining refineries on the east coast would be nice. Delaware City was getting about 100,000 barrels per day by rail a few years ago. 
 North Dakota is sitting on approx 4 billion barrels of light crude, (estimates from 4 billion to 8 billion) sh!t is so sweet it smells like honey and money, lol, I worked on 3 rigs right after I lost my job at the Sunoco refinery in Marcus Hook, when that refinery closed in March 2012.   They had rigs everywhere back then until 2014, when the Saudis decided to boost their production and a barrel went from $100 down to around $45, which led to rigs being shutdown and out of staters leaving for home. 
  Now more  recently they can’t find enough experienced workers for the rigs.  There’s really no need to start up rigs on Federal Land, or other questionable areas if you can’t get workers on existing ones. I put my time in North Dakota from mid 2012 till the end of 2013. That kind of work is not for everyone, working 20 hour days in that F’ed up weather. No one’s going from pushing papers for 5 years in the a/c and heat of a building wearing dress shoes and suits with half the office filled with skirted broads, to working with some of the nastiest scumbags hiding from warrants, for drug offenses to manslaughter.   
 In terms of Federal land leases and permits, I understand the value for drilling purposes, I also understand OPEC and the Saudis control the cost of oil, which means they also control the price of gasoline.

 The Keystone Pipeline would have given jobs to a few thousand guys temporarily, which most are working anyway, but it would not have done anything to the price of oil unless again, the Saudis or OPEC said it would. 
 
Btw, US imports gasoline as well as crude, so if we had more refineries here under our environmental controls, wouldn’t that be much safer to the environment than say Russia refining it for us? Just saying, it’s not just the air over the US that matters right?

But private industry is doing solar.  Farms popping up all over the country. 12 significant utility sized farms in PA and over 400 solar farms in development. Heck, my Newsmax watching father-in-law can see and acknowledge all the commercial solar farms growing up around his place in east Texas.   Sorry, you missed on this one.  Business is developing solar farms  

There is no such thing as a Thorium reactor. Thorium has no isotopes.  The old, long discontinued thorium based reactors were bombarded by U233 to work.  U(ranium)233 is highly radioactive.  The theory that thorium produces no radioactive material is based on a liquid core.  So many issues with this.  You’ve been listening to Andrew Yang way too much.  

The problem with solar is the "small is beautiful" crowd hate the idea of utility scale solar, which is cost effective, and want to heavily subsidize residential roof top solar, which is not.

However, all those companies with "box stores" and warehouses with flat roofs love solar, just cover them with solar panels.

A better solution, but progressives tend to hate economists, would be to subsidize R&D in building integrated solar, that is, panels and roof tiles that are solar panels but also function as structural materials so it's installed as you build, not a clumsy retrofit. If they can figure it out, every re-roofing job can be a solar panel for far less cost than retrofits, and every new building would have solar built in - skyscrapers where the walls would be solar panels.

We spend too much subsidizing inefficient solutions and not enough on R&D and energy efficiency. Energy efficiency gets underfunded b/c there are no huge energy efficiency corporations that will lobby the government, unlike Next Era or the solar companies. The companies selling green energy don't support energy efficiency because it would shrink their potential market.

Thank you for that AFan.

What about the "untapped" Oil reserves in the Alaskan Wilderness, projected to be multi-millions of barrels or the deep reserves attributed to the offshore sections of the Bering Sea and surrounding underwater plots. I've heard the Biden people have made those explorations untenable due to restrictive permitting, closed areas and lethargic processes. Not a political debate here, just a question of availability and intent.

There is little interest by oil companies in those reserves b/c they're expensive to drill and then ship out by pipeline. Check the prices offered for leases.

Multi-millions of barrels is nothing (and what matters isn't the size of the field, but the amount that's recoverable at a competitive price).

Let's say there's a billion barrel field in Alaska, primary recovery is usually 35-40%, so 400 barrels, but in a conventional field, you produce about 10% the first full year of production (depends on the geology and the mechanism that forces oil to the wells), produce too fast and you reduce ultimate recovery (and pipelines are built to recover costs over a decade, so they won't be sized for a huge surge). So 40 million barrels a year that steadily declines, so maybe 250-300 million over a decade, then you either let the field peter out or have to invest in secondary and tertiary recovery mechanisms (hundreds of millions of dollars). Spend enough and ultimate recovery might reach 50%.

So that billion barrel field will end up producing 110K per day at first, then slowly decline, which is like 1% of US production. Not exactly a game changer.

Former NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen warned in 2014 that Putin was funding certain "green" groups through far-left organizations as part of the Kremlin's "sophisticated information and disinformation operations."

These Russian subversives targeted hydraulic fracturing — fracking — which is used to extract oil and gas from otherwise difficult deposits. Putin condemned fracking in 2011, saying it was "associated with significant environmental risks, in particular the hazard of surface and underground water contamination with chemicals applied in the production process."
I see their propaganda worked.

Why would you be going back to read about OTAs? And,  really there was no news that came out of them anyway.

A brilliant football mind at work.  

Joint practices with Browns next couple days then a Game (scrimmage). Hope they sit Sinnett, seen enough of him. We know The Stache...Get some Strong reps, lets see what this guy has. We know he has a cannon, can he make the touch throws?, execute a screen properly?, that's supposed to be a strength of this offense with this O line, and a go-to playcall...can he navigate the pocket and buy time if needed?

QB2 seems up for grabs, is Strong the guy? Put him with the first Team O and see what he has.

Hope that's the plan.

But, can he break out of a perfectly good pocket, run for a yard and take a hit unnecessarily?

Why again should Aqib Talib be suspended because of what his brother did?  

Word now is that Aqib apparently started the fight, which lead to the shooting. If that's indeed the case, then he should be suspended, or terminated.  Sorry if this was already mentioned.

That was the word immediately.  Whitlock was talking about it immediately after the events and had some quotes from the eyewitnesses.

 

I think termination is the only solution.  And I wouldn't be surprised if he's charged with something as a part of this.

Thorium is being seriously looked at to replace Uranium in Nuclear reactors: https://whatisnuclear.com/thorium.html

I dont see how thats possible 

Unless the guy had a weapon and was trying to use it, I don't see how he comes out clean.

Watching the video, pretty clear the guy who was killed did not have a weapon.

Even if he did, the fact that he was outnumbered 6 or 7 to 1, self defense would be on the table.
