I'm not saying it's right or wrong or good or bad. It's just the way it is. that's why there is a niche for illegal immigrant labor in America. They can work for about a quarter of what Americans can for the same job "They can work for about a quarter of what Americans can for the same job" The optimal word here is "will" not "can". Outsourced jobs would most likely go under for what Americans demand to be paid. I had my own business for ten years. I had a hard time finding employees. Because they wanted to be paid by the hour. I could not do that. I had to pay according to what the total job offered. Sometimes it was very good...sometimes it wasn't. I still had to pay for liability insurance...get everyone a work license to work as a contractor for me. I had to keep books, supplies, gas,I ended up losing almost as much as I made. My jobs couldn't be outsourced. If they could have..I may have done it myself. One of my employees got another job because I couldn't pay her hourly,and it actually didn't pay what I did...but she had taxes taken out and 8 hour days. My job sometimes was 12 hour days, six days a week. Kat |

they are still building the windmill farm in the Texas panhandle. Since oil is so cheap right now they have scaled back the extent of the plan. but it will still supply 20% of Texas electricty when it is finished in a few years
oil is slowly coming back up (around $50 a barrel right now) and the laid off people in the oil industry are getting a little more hopeful. Once it gets to around $70 a barrel it will be about right for the industry and the gasoline prices |

yah, but wind power and solar is still not the answer. The answer hasn't been invented yet
but they are "bridge technologies" to get us by until a new technology has been invented. Prolly hydrogen I'm guessing but who knows what it will be Pickens wants us to convert over to natural gas. if we could just convert the 18 wheelers over it would save half our petroleum use. and we have more natural gas in America than the rest of the world has oil |

I liked his attitude. He said "this is not MY problem. I'm 85 and will be gone soon. Its YOUR problem" |
