More than $150 billion of oil projects face the axe
As predicted:
http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/...0JJ0CV20141205 Supply and demand economics are still alive and well. As oil prices go down, supply will eventually drop also. There's also a good chance that demand may start coming down as various energy saving strategies begin to take effect and alternative sources such as solar and wind power increase. Solar is right on the cusp of becoming truly cost effective as panels become more efficient and production costs continue to decrease. |

Solar is right on the cusp of becoming truly cost effective as panels become more efficient and production costs continue to decrease. Solar will take off when it gets below a dollar a watt at the plug. Chinese collectors are approaching that price at the collector but you are still buying and maintaining the rest of the system. Nat Gas getting cheaper may actually slow the rollout of solar. I did another survey and I will have to cut down some trees now to make it work here. Unfortunately I would need a permit to do it because they are "natives" and one is not on my property. I have 2 live oaks that came up from acorns and now they are huge.

I've had several cut down...didn't know about a permit requirement. Oh well. What would happen if you just had the trees cut down, or did it yourself. Does the county have folks whose job it is to go around and count trees? We have to go a permit if it is over a certain size. Free. I had sick Monterey Pine years ago. City came out gave me permit. Monterey Pines are not really protected here. In the 1970's my mom's neighbor had a 3 large sycamores cut down. City of Piedmont fined her $30,000. |

I found out shortly after we purchase our current house that the land you bought and pay taxes for really doesn't belong to you. It's use is controlled by the conservation department in the town. |

You can cut down anything you want on your property without local reeprisal. Who cares. |
