Regulatory actions by President Barack Obama and his appointees andfollowers were cited as the entire reason. "Mr. Obama has already destroyed 83,000megawatts of coal-fired electricity generation in America," said Mr. Michael T. W.Carey, Vice President of Government Affairs for Murray Energy. "Electric prices inthe recent PJM Interconnection monthly auction were bid up 800 percent (8 times)for 2015-2016 because of this," he added.
The lawyers told the committee the U.S. government
is apparently trying to take over legal management of the state's water
supply. The federal government has asserted claims for damages to
groundwater in a natural resource damage case in New Mexico involving
Chevron/Molycorp. The claim seeks for those damages to be awarded in the
form of future water rights management.
As I noted in the first part of this post it was the all those native plums hanging there to get ripe. They are almost there.
Yesterday I picked 75lbs of pears off of 2 trees. On one tree it was 57lbs of pears. This little tree is 8ft tall and this was it's 3rd year of bearing fruit.
Oh what to make...decisions...decisions. ;)
30lb will be used to make a 5gal batch of pear wine. The remaining will be made into pear butter, jam & preserves.
Last month Wally World had some trees clearanced out at the garden center. I picked up a couple of Chinquapin Oak about 12' tall. A couple of live oaks about the same size and 3 Myers Lemon trees.
These lemon trees are 3' tall and already had some green fruit on them. Once I replanted them with a little goat/chicken manure mixed in, they have shot mucho new leaves and bloomed again.
All 3 now probably have 15-20 little bitty lemons on them with more blooms coming on.
