President-elect Trump wants more coal. Does that make sense?

Unless the law has changed only government owned electrical systems can purchase electricity from Hoover Dam, since it is also "Government owned." It's been awhile, but I believe LA was a municipal owned system and could purchase from Hoover.

As I mentioned a problem with Hoover is Lake Mead is "drying up"!



The white rock ring shows how much it has fallen.

That's about 120 million dollars worth of power wholesale, quite valuable to you and me, but an amount the liberals waste everyday.

The water, if it dries up, would destroy California....maybe we should blow up the damn so the fish can swim upstream?

Good bye!

Wow. A reworked, "I'm snot, you are glue" response.

"After I joined..." Which time? The first time were you banned, suspended or asked the mods to put you in the witless protection program?

Hoover Dam could not be built today because of EPA considerations. Maybe a month from now.

Nuclear power plants are available today, and they weren't back then.

Cancellation of the acquisition by the Russians of a lot of our uranium resources would be a first order of business in setting aside the dumbass concessions made by the Obaminable-HillaryNoMore Klan.

It is easy to see you do not care for humor. But if conclusion jumping is added to track and field, you will shine there.

When God punched you out, God confirmed HIS sense of humor!
