Just in from Northern California

Maybe it will come to no small engines, only electric motors and battery packs.

Trailer rigs will be just huge battery boxes with electric motors and pumps, very quiet at nite, you will not know they are there.

That sure would be different.

Maybe you can charge the batteries with solar panels?

My 3.3 liter diesel is no longer available because of new air polution laws here in California.

I was also told that as of Jan 1 2009, No new boilers can be ordered for delivery in California which have more than 825,000 BTU's.

825,000 BTU's is the max that you can buy "new" here in california.

This maybe the engine wave of the intermediate future guys.

With those engines being able to burn anything that is flammable, it reminds me of the movie "Back To The Future" where Doc Fry puts some trash into the reactor of the car for fuel. hahahahaha

Maybe this new engine is a step in that direction?

They mention that they do not use a transmission, how would you stay stopped in traffic, does the engine stop and can it accelerate quickly like when at a stop light?

What about moving heavy loads like Tractor Trailers?

It is very interesting!

So you all don't think it is beneficial to know what California and other states are doing with regards to environmental things? That seems silly to me. I think we are all better prepared by making sure that we know what is coming our way, and working to make sure that whatever regulations are in put in place are regulations we can live with.

Spoken like a true representive of the contractor.

California has completed a long study about Dry Wells and found them to be inadequate in preventing containments from reaching the underground drinking supply. California is making it mandatory to have them removed ( Pulled Out ) from various locations throughout California.

Realize Jim over there has to deal with not only epa and local forces on water but he has this Bay area air pollution legislation thingy to deal with too. I think he's right about his diesel situation. Last I heard he would have to have applied for an exemption by a certain date to be able to still use the diesels he does have. You all up on that Jim? That was for small diesel work engins only and but they probably drooling over applying it to vehicles too eh?

Kevin and Russ, I agree with you 100% on the environmental overkill.

But I've spent a lot of time speaking with Jim and I've got a pretty good feel for who he is.

You can't tell much about Jim from his posts. He posts stuff like this because he genuinely thinks he's helping others by doing it, by getting them ready for what might be coming their way. I personally think what is happening in California is destined to be repeated in Texas, Wisconsin, Oregon and a few other states, but most states don't follow that tree-hugging stuff so much. (definately not Nevada and Alabama)

One thing I really like about Jim is that he follows the law BUT he doesn't insert himself into the legal process to try to get laws passed that favor his business.

Jim's a working guy just like us. I know sometimes he tries to claim his hose is bigger but that's just trying to compensate for the fact that his reclaim vacuum really sucks! :D :eek:

How about we start a new forum called tree-hugging nut news and have Jim post all about California laws in there?

WHO WAS THE DUMBA$$ THAT POSTED THIS?????????? LOL!

I was a moron.

I can say that in the past tense now.

Can you?
 
Just picked this up from Jim over at TGS:

Jim Gamble: I agree...but I like that in one year, California managed to show a profit more than any other state in the union. It just shows how strong California is. If the work force was at full swing, I am sure that number would of doubled.

Highly skilled workers are coming back while lower skilled workers are leaving because they simply cannot afford the housing and cost of living. Jobs are coming back, if you have skills they want.

That has to be one of the dumbest statements I have ever read. This, gentlemen is the reason you shouldn't go to the poll booth to vote unless you at least understand a little bit about the government and how it works.

Governments aren't supposed to EVER show a "profit". Governments exist only to provide the minimum services needed for the PEOPLE to be allowed to prosper in an organized society. The people are supposed to profit and the government is supposed to assist in that by building roads and other infrastructure for commerce, providing security against outside forces that would TAKE your profit and a system of justice to keep the playing field level according to the law. Governments cannot "profit" because everything they have is confiscated from the people.

I read today that they are scrambling already to get their hands on the trough to ask for more money for schools, police, and every other tree hugging thing imaginable to rape the people of this ill gotten "profit" that came from the backs of the people in the way of personal income taxes and some of the highest business taxes in the nation. Gathering at the trough already when they have a debt that rivals the national debt by scale and no talk whatsoever about taking care of THAT looming monster before they all dig in the trough.

Highly skilled workers are coming back while lower skilled workers are leaving.......another picture of ignorance. Guess what, Nevada will take ALL your lower skilled workers. We are starving for them. We need them for pressure washing, yard maintenance, manufacturing, labor, construction and all the other trades since most of the Mexicans left for California for benefits when the economy went bust here. What kind of economy benefits when the lower skilled workers leave a state?

I hope Jim runs for office. In California of course. Then he can be in good company like the politician who was afraid Guam was going to "tip over" if too many people move there, or the one who said all we have to do is regulate gun "clips" and stop the manufacture of the big "clips" because once they were shot, they would have to be thrown away and people can buy the smaller "clips".

Good Grief. No wonder our nation is screwed.
