texas also PRODUCES 40% of the ENERGY that California USES...yet

cali is the second biggest carbon emiter.....behind...texas


90% of water consumed in Cali...comes from arizonia
Did I call Texas a poorer state? And yes, a lot of water comes from "arizonia" because Cali is a huge state that consumes a lot of water, but that doesn't change the fact that the state still has a GDP of $1.8 trillion that is apart of the US economy.

I never said it was going to run the whole west coast, I said I can't wait till it is running along the whole west coast.

I find it hilarious with all the complaints you have made about Halliburton.
The complaints made against Halliburton is that they were "no bid contracts" where there was no bidding process.

Is that really so hard to understand?

That statement is so incredibly ignorant and wrong that it makes anything else you post instantly questionable in creditability. Frankly, you're just full of it. So full of it that it is coming out of your ears.

Even a grade school student would know you're full of it.

Once again the liberals never fail to disappoint. Brain damage on full display. I've seen one poster actually address the topic. The rest run around flapping their wings blathering about Halliburton, how Feinstein's husband has nothing to do with the actual company awarded the bid, now we're on to welfare. LOL

Do you even know the difference between an openingly bid contract (where anyone can submit a bid and the lowest bidder wins the contract) and a no bid contract where no one but one company is allowed to bid and so there is no competition? I suspect not because if you did then you wouldn't be posting nonsense like the bit I just quoted.

Again, one can't just make accusations without proof.


Not all corruption is illegal or even provable, but it's still corruption and it's still wrong.

Well then that must mean you have failed to provide any evidence besides speculation. One can speculate all sorts of garbage if they want without any real substance to back up their claims.
