solution to western states debt problem

[eightymesh]

Most every western state harbored bucket line dredges back in the day.... so the state opens up some ground that once was worked or even new prospects, tell the enviros behind the dredge will be left a "green " zone . a few million ounces would get them far enough out of the hole to at least stabilize the states economy again and no tax increase either



oops ... forgive me for speaking with common sense

i have wonderd how much cash the dreaging ban has cost calafornia. there are a lot of guys not buying parts. renting hotels, fuel, food, it not only hurts the miners. the local dive shops probley felt it too. its got to be a health chunk of changes for the state they lost.

just the rise in fuel prices here, the place i go for a weekend of camping and gold hunting lost a ton of cash. the towns around it are drying up. started out 50 bucks was a full tank of gas, a can for the dreage, food for the week end, and camping site. now its 50 bucks does not fill the tank in the truck.

i wish. its 3.19 here. dam one armed robery by the highway. this is a neet motorcycle

if they put a biger tank on the bike it would be even better. fill up at night head off to work a few times. i would want to hold about 4 gallons of gas. that way it would be good to go for a long time with out a cng fueler.

This is possibly the first bike in the world to come with a factory fitted Compressed Natural gas power.

The bike is essentially a converted RX-150 model and as the name suggests, displaces 150cc. The bike has space for two tanks that stocks enough gas for a range of approximately 100km (120miles).

The tanks store a total of 1.4 m3 of natural gas and the storage tank is in the same place as a conventional tank. Also on board is a 3.5 litres gasoline tank which will take care of immediate emergencies. The CNG option costs US$ 285 (1000 pesos) and is supplied by local manufacturer Ecopos, based in Santa Fe, Argentina.

Won't be long and people will get fed up and actually do something about all this crap!!!!

The "Tea Party" was one thing, but people need to organize starting on the local level.
We need those willing to lead on the local level, and they need not be a person in political office.
Personally, I'd rather they weren't.
A lot of people complain about the situation, and too few take action.
There are several legitimate organizations that are trying to voice the people, but they
need to get together more as a "One Voice" movement. I'm not talking about another
political party, but a stand by "We the People" with constitution in hand.
Everybody needs to Follow the Same laws, those being the laws laid down
by very wise men, of whom I believe to have been led by God.
And ya can't tell me anyone knows better than Him.
