Or spend the $3 billion on the roads that employers say they need to lure more workers?

Sorry = money not diversifying WA's economy The commercial airline business will go down again, Boeing will lay people off again. Why not invest in something not tied so directly to economic trends? It's smart business.

= money not spent diversifying the Seattle economy, providing a broader base of jobs, making it less cyclical.

That's right. Car's are more efficient at 70mph.

How the fuck do you find out otherwise?

Is this now a cutoff support group?

China currently consumes less energy than the US. The US has 4 times the population. Explain to me, and the chinese, why we should continue to be so blessed? China's currently has an energy shortage. They don't have enough oil or coal (the mines are being pushed hard, hence all the accidents) to reliably feed their economic growth. Longterm I'm sure they'll change, but it won't happen soon.

Across the border Lake Baikal has fresh water seals, among other oddities.

You've summited a mountain without reaching the summit?

The co-worker who shows you "this great new climbing website he's just found", and you have to sheepishly act like you've never seen it.

And he didn't even mention they were Daisy Dukes

China and India have signed on to the Kyoto protocol. They are not subject to reductions in greenhouse gases under Kyoto. With per capita GDP's at PPP of $4900 and $2600, respectively (US =$33000), what are they supposed to cut? Wood stoves for the farmers? India and China are the future of conservation, but we can't preclude them from the basics, food, shelter, transportation - and many in Asia don't yet have those.

The monkey agrees with you Timmy And thanks for the Dynafits!

Someone was squeezing out a dump in the parking lot?

That's all well and good, I'm in MN Wednesday. Don't want no f'ing snow Airplanes are the better than a change of season

It's snowing in the TC now?!

A flight to India is about $.05 a mile (not including the FF mile ticket you get free with that flight), Europe is $.10, roughly. Driving a 20mpg car in the states is now $.12 for gas alone. Market forces at work folks.

Exactly which oil companies are investing heavily in new production? Most are very conservative with new field devolpment - statoil is thought to be taking a risk with their new investment. For a glimpse of the future US, watch what happens to Argentina in the next 10-15 years (when it's estimated their reserves will be gone)

China. Patagonia makes some of their stuff in the US (like some Capilene) Pika Imlay Gear (canyoning)

Unless you get named pope.

Wow! They translated Hayak into english! And I thought the Washington times was a paper of multi/lingual intelluctuals! No matter what it was meant as, Lenin in america is ironic.

Go fuck your pig Ak. Pretty soon you´ll be as old and bitter as Fairweather. By pimping climbing he manages to get in more than the rest of us. That´s rich in my book.
