How would you travel? How would you get food if the trucks couldn't deliver it from Mexico, China and California? How would you get shelter and warmth? How would you survive? Do you think Exxon is concerned with that? Safeway? Your county government?Dean Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00433661598382632011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-660731329321025806.post-31616503568937368392010-03-28T09:51:24.780-07:002010-03-28T09:51:24.780-07:00Bruce, I don't think this is the rapeseed lan...Bruce, I don't think this is the rapeseed land. I think that is further east. I understand that this land is a candidate for being made back into swamp at tremendous cost to mitigate (atone) for the City building the commercial complex they plan on the river bank just south of Pacific Avenue. I believe that we need some balanced thinking about this headlong rush to turn low lying land back into salt marsh. We also need to feed our population in the light of diminishing fuel supplies in the next 5-10 years. The longer we put off preparing, the harder the transition will be.Dean Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00433661598382632011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-660731329321025806.post-75053923857414702382010-03-26T23:07:47.897-07:002010-03-26T23:07:47.897-07:00Is that the land they've been trying to grow s...Is that the land they've been trying to grow some sort of oil seed on? rapeseed or whatever? I think they've spent around a million dollars on that project, between the land, tilling and the crusher. thats what i seem to recall, anyway.Bruce Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10995706761794063165noreply@blogger.com
