A MESSAGE TO THE CALIF AIR RESOURCES BOARD: A PLAN TO MITIGATE GLOBAL WARMING

bigfish2003 — Sat, 06 Jun 2009 18:04:59 +0000

There is an urgent need for Emergency Regulations regarding CNG/LNG pumps at gasoline stations for private passenger vehicles due to a dearth of CNG/LNG public fueling sites in California.

Some scientist below say that we have only ten years or the year 2030 to mitigate current global warming trends.

Excuse me, but it will take too long to adopt LCFS via the normal public hearing process.

This is why I advocate the adoption of Emergency Regulations regarding CNG pumps at existing oil company stations for private vehicle use.

Consider the below:

1.) There is a dearth of public fueling sites for private passenger vehicles in California.

Prop 10 and T. Boone Pickens Raid on California Coffers

cyc4fave — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 18:33:06 +0000

I was wondering if everyone was aware of California’s Prop 10 - a deceptively named initiative on the November ballot that seeks to authorize “$5 billion in bonds ($9.8 billion with interest), much of which would provide rebates to buyers of natural gas run vehicles. First off, environmental groups including the California League of Conservation Voters and the Sierra Club oppose Prop 10.

And for the purposes of full disclosure, I work for a non-profit consumer rights organization called the Consumer Federation of California. We started doing some research on Prop 10 and couldn’t believe what we found.

I would think that this proposed port at Jacksonville, FLA below would use the Panama Canal, when the expansion is completed in 2014. The rest of the country is trying to get in on the action,cargo container shipments from Asia.

May 27, 2008

Mr. Robert E. Fisher
7717 Church Avenue
Highland, CA 92346

Dear Mr. Fisher:

Thank you for contacting me. It is good to hear from you and I am pleased to respond.

Ports handle more than 35% (by value) of the Nation's imports and exports, and the role of water transport in the national economy is growing as trade policies increase the quantity of goods transported. A recent assessment of the U.S. marine transportation system by the Department of Transportation predicts that the total tonnage of U.S. domestic and international marine trade will more than double by 2020. Ocean carriers are deploying larger ships to handle the robust growth in maritime trade.

PLAN TO SAVE CALIF PORTS

bigfish2003 — Wed, 21 May 2008 19:23:12 +0000

In 2014 the Panama Canal Expansion Project will be completed: http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/bus/stories/020108dnbuscanal....

In order to prevent the Ports of Los Angeles/Long Beach from losing its $300 billion Asian cargo container vessels business that require deep water ports, it will be necessary for the California Congressional Delegation to remain vigilent and to "closely monitor" the FY 2009 Federal Transportation Budget and vote against any and all federal funding to dredge Gulf Coast ports, such as, the Port of Houston and the Port of Tampa for deep water purposes.

Currently, there are no deep water ports on the Gulf Coast. However, in the "NAFTA scheme of things," there will be attempts to upgrade the Gulf Coast ports similar to the I-69 funding in the states oh Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee, Kentucky, and Indiana.

BIGFISH'S 2ND "EPISTLE" TO SENATOR FEINSTEIN

bigfish2003 — Wed, 30 Apr 2008 09:55:03 +0000

BELOW I TRY TO CLARIFY SENATOR FEINSTEIN'S MISUNDERSTANDING OF THE I-69 ISSUE:

cc of my 4/28/2008 letter to Senator Feinstein:

Below is a copy of an email dated March 6, 2008, in which my Congressman, Jerry Lewis (R-CA 41st) contradicts your latest letter dated April 22, 2008. As you know, Rep Lewis is the Ranking Member on the House Appropriations Comte. He claims that federal funds have been allocated to the states of Texas, Arkansas, Mississippi, Louisiana Kentucky, and Indianna for construction of I-69 in those states on a state by state basis.

Therefore, based on Rep Lewis I -69 has been allocated funds by Congress on a "piece meal basis" rather than as a whole continuous Interstate project. I suppose it is a matter of semantics. The upshot is that we have a NAFTA Highway running west to east, then north into Canada, rather than the proposed original NAFTA HIghway that runs south to north from Mexico City through Texas and up to Canada.

PRESS RELEASE FUTURE SHOCK CALIF PORTS

bigfish2003 — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 18:48:59 +0000

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

CONTACT PERSON: BOB FISHER, MSW

rbrtfis@aol.com

FUTURE SHOCK: CALIFORNIA PORTS IN PERIL--
WHY ARE RECISSIONS NEEDED ON I-69 PROJECTS IN THE FY 2008 FEDERAL HIGHWAYS TRANSPORTATION BUDGET IN TEXAS, ARKANSAS, LOUISIANA, MISSISSIPPI, KENTUCKY AND INDIANA?
California elected officials should support the above recissions to the I-69 projects in the various states, because completion of these projects in future years would take away $billions of business from California, and give it to possibly the PORT OF HOUSTON, or some other port in the "NAFTA Scheme of things."

Recissions are needed to avoid Asian cargo container vessels from by-passing Los Angeles and Long Beach Ports by going through the Panama Canal to berth at the Port of Houston in future years, once the Panama Canal is widened to accomodate cargo container vessels.
