I have done lots of grunt construction work since I.moved here. I even made a girl that was working with us cry once...
When I started, it was rule by fear.  When I went out to construction sites for inspections, the foremen generally were old school.  It was the younger apprentice carpenters, iron workers, and ESPECIALLY the plumbers that gave attitude.  If the drawings say 1" clear between the duct and rebar, no, it doesn't mean "can see daylight in between".  :facepalm: 

Don’t feel bad about the transit! Keiwit, the contractor out on the first half of the rail, did the same thing to me. Gave me a 5 minute lesson on using a transit and expected me to verify their work and do their job for them. In essence trying to make me responsible for their work. After I figured out what was going on I started to purposely come up with different measurements. They finally gave up thinking I didn’t know what I was doing. Little did they know I knew exactly what I was doing!  :rofl:
I was "classically trained" in the use of a transit.  Otherwise known as maybe a day or two in a class in college.  Surveying was actually super fun.  Got to be outside and using the theodolites and other cool stuff.

That's just common sense gun safety.

Biden’s Climate Agenda Won’t Replace Jobs It Seeks To Kill, Separate AP, WaPo Fact-Checks Suggest

https://www.dailywire.com/news/bidens-climate-agenda-wont-replace-jobs-it-seeks-to-kill-separate-ap-wapo-fact-checks-suggest?itm_source=parsely-api%3Futm_content%3Dnews&utm_campaign=daily_shapiro&utm_medium=email&_hsmi=108917919&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-9FOcG2L30R7FgOd8Nu0YP2BstjV5VO4DMaYofO8wyb537kvtY5FrwVh85z_LIt2x5lWb6X88QZnQ6R_0ojwzFqaiOBbw&utm_source=housefile

So the far left Associated Press and the even farther left Washington Post fact checks Biden’s claims that he is going to replace the jobs he just killed with much better solar panel manufacturing jobs and finds out he is lying, would anyone here believe it? Didn’t someone on this thread or another one say Biden was going to do this?

I have been away from the board for a few days to visit with family so I have not had the time to keep up with the goings on around here...

I thought I had read that the wretched WP was going to disband their "fact checkers" in the age of Bidet?

Facts are facts regardless of administration in power. Then again you don't seem like a person who believes in facts.

If you think facts require faith (belief), then you have no idea what constitutes a "fact".

What an idiot.

Who said all beliefs are religious? 

While you're bitching about looking up words, try searching "straw man" and "straw argument."

Until we find a way to harness the Sun's energy without relying on fossil fuels to do it, the only true Green Energy source is nuclear.

With that, we can power homes and businesses day and night.  The byproduct that is released is steam.

The amount of materials needed to feed reactors is small compared to fossil fuel generators.  Nuclear waste is also less of a problem today than 40 years ago.

Reactors can provide the majority of energy, and that can in turn charge vehicles, reduce dependence on oil, etc.

BTW, anyone who thinks their electric car uses no oil products should not be trusted to manage the maintenance on it.

How are you defining green then? Just like how solar panels and batteries involve mining for minerals and refining them so does nuclear energy. It has many benefits and I support it but I wouldn't label it green energy.

Water and gravity, one of the most ancient of technologies is actually proving to be probably one of the most green forms of energy storage to date. Pump water uphill with excess energy during the day/windytime/active wave time/etc then let gravity use it to produce energy on its way down.

Of course electric cars still use some oil but they use a lot less fluids and have fewer parts to go bad and replace. With battery advancements electric cars will definitely be a force to be reckoned with but they aren't quite there yet.

Do you own an electric car, any large scaled battery, PV or any of those technologies you mentioned? You made any of those ideas work? Remember the conservation of energy in physics

The batteries cause more harm to the environment that gas does.  Mining the materials for them is destructive and the batteries cannot be recycled, but must sit in a landfill forever, same goes with the fans on a wind powered turbine.  Those have to be replaced and when they do, it just sits. 

We went over this with Omni months ago and the convo went in circles.  Now add in the XL pipe line, instead of oil being pumped down a tube, now it has to be driven by thousands of trucks and ships, which all consume gas and have pollutants..  Yes that is way more green than having a steel pipe.

The issue with H20 power/Ocean, how many tree hugger org's fight against building such a thing? 

I do think some people's hearts are in the right place, but not their brain.

The only thing making E cars cool is Tesla. I know a good amount of Porsche owners who bought 1. They would never buy a Prius or even a BMW E car.

if the Paris CLimate Accord was really about the "climate" they would be installing solar panels, producing electric cars and developing nuclear power instead of being a slush fund for empty promises.

They can recycle batteries now.

You are correct about the pipeline vs trucks/ships.  But I think the goal of this isn't to just stop the pipeline and keep status quo.  But to lessen/stop using oil/gas period.  The pipeline is just another delay tactic for petro.
