The Holcomb coal plants are unneeded and unwanted.

They will not be built.

BJ,
I doubt you read the article so here is what is says concerning your assertional claim, emphasis on ‘ass’, that the power is not needed.

“Here’s how some of those claims stack up under closer examination:

• Kansas doesn’t need more electrical capacity and would get only a fraction of the power from the new plants.

Kansas does need more generating capacity to support a 1.5 percent annual increase in demand, according to estimates made by the state’s largest utility, Westar Energy. This is especially true for “base load,” the nearly constant portion of electrical demand.

Conservation could help slow the pace at which demand increases, but the increasing spread of high technology accelerates the demand for power. And any increases in population or industry — both of which are economic goals for the state — would create more demand for power.

Kansas does not currently need all the power that would be generated by the Holcomb plant. But Sunflower Electric Power Corp.’ s partners in the project say they do. And they are willing to pay for it.

Sunflower says the project is simple economics: You make more than you need and sell the excess.”

So many idiots.

So little time.

“And any increases in population or industry — both of which are economic goals for the state.”

They may be goals. They aint happening. Being coal pollution central is only a negative in that direction.

“Encourage him to disband the unions and instill a meritocracy.”

Shery and baitfish?

It was Boeings concentration on badly treating and micromanaging its work force and neglecting their R&D caused them to lose that contract. Get rid of the damned “right to work” laws so Kansas can be a union state and you take the necktie addled thinkers outta the way of the best aircraft builders in the world.

” Get rid of the damned “right to work” laws so Kansas can be a union state”

Forced union organization/membership is very UnAmerican. I have a right to NOT belong to a union and a right to NOT be represented by a union.

You want a union where you work? Take a vote. Let the employees decide.

Take your forced unions and shove them where the sun doesn’t shine.

God Bless America and free enterprise!

“ask him why he doesn’t look into the substandard workmanship of Boeing and the ongoing organized labor issue that make it impossible to compete”

Unions are driving industry and jobs overseas.

But get over it: Boeing lost. Fair and square.

Their antiquated thinking will result in their joining the big three American automakers in the rust belt of unhappiness.

The TV Monkeys seemed to put a lot of stock in the idea that wearing a lapel pin is a good measure of one’s patriotism. Is it?

Making the Rev. Wright a Rich Man.

Speaking of TV Monkeys, I am happy to see them make the Rev. Wright a rich man. He’s going to sell a lot more books and receive a lot more invitations to speak on campuses and his fee is going to go up. I wish Wichita State would invite him, but I doubt they could afford him now.

Once again Leonard Pitts hits the nail on the head:

LEONARD PITTS: CITIZENS HUNGER FOR NATIONAL PURPOSE
Let’s talk about us. Not as in you and me but, rather, as in common cause. I’ve been thinking about “us” for a few days, ever since I happened upon a message board for sports fans on the NBA playoffs. The conversation was what you’d expect — fans of underdog teams arguing that, while other people may not believe in “us,” all “we” need to do is box out, get back on defense, and “we” can prove “our” doubters wrong.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but none of the people throwing around those variations of the first-person plural pronoun is competing in these playoffs. Not a rebound will they snatch, not a bounce pass will they catch. They are accountants, doctors, cabbies, cops, bellmen, barkeeps and others whose closest brush with athletic glory comes in weekend wars waged at the park followed by liberal applications of Bengay.

I came away struck, as I often am, by this singular ability of sports to make people say “we.” It happens much less often in other areas of civic life. No one says “we” when he talks about homelessness or hunger. No “our” enters the discussion of fatherless families or abortion rights, “Us” is a stranger to the debate over failing schools and crime. Those conversations are framed by words like “them” and “they.”

I have no bone to pick with sports. Still, I find myself thinking a healthier society would find common cause beyond the ball field and the basketball court, would regard working toward great and ambitious goals as a civic obligation. Am I the only one who remembers a time when rallying the people together was considered the very embodiment of leadership?

That’s not to suggest earlier generations were all marble men of selfless good. HBO’s “John Adams” miniseries and Eric Burns’ 2006 book, “Infamous Scribblers: The Founding Fathers and the Rowdy Beginnings of American Journalism,” provide fresh reminders — as if any are needed — that pettiness, backbiting and smallness of vision are hardly new to American politics.

Yet when you remember Abraham Lincoln calling for men to save the union, Franklin Roosevelt’s demand for courage in the face of Depression, Lyndon Johnson’s declaration of a War on Poverty, John Kennedy’s audacious challenge to go to the moon, and then try to remember the last time any modern-day leader asked us to pull together, sacrifice together, in the name of some vital cause greater than any one of us — well, you come up empty.

Instead, we’ve had George H.W. Bush denigrating the “vision thing,” and Bill Clinton building that bridge to the 21st century. Sept. 11 seemed to promise such a moment, except that when people asked how they could pitch in, they were told to go shopping.

This is not sacrificing for “us.” It is not pulling together for “we.” But again, we don’t say those words so much anymore. We say “them” and “they” and “red” and “blue,” and if that has been politically useful for some of us it has come at a cost for all of us: fragmentation, polarization, balkanization, disconnection.

Small wonder Barack Obama has been able to build a political movement on a simple promise to bring people together. Small wonder John McCain has lately been calling people to “sacrifice for a cause greater than yourself.” They sense it, too, I think: a hunger for national purpose.

To meet that hunger is not to magically erase disagreements and fault lines. But it just might allow us to be grounded again in the understanding that true nationhood requires there be something that surmounts those differences. Our founders knew this, which is why the first-person plural pronoun one finds on sports message boards is also the first word in the first sentence of the U.S. Constitution.

You remember. It begins with, “We the people.”

For you Boortz ball lickers and other assorted creatures from planet wingnut.

“This decline in the value of the dollar is simple to explain. The dollar loses value as the direct result of the Federal Reserve and U.S. Treasury increasing the money supply. Inflation, as the late Milton Friedman explained, is always a monetary phenomenon. The federal government consistently wants to spend more than it can tax and borrow, so Congress turns to the Fed for help in covering the difference. The result is more dollars, both real and electronic – which means the value of every existing dollar goes down.”

Sorry wingnuts your wheaties are more expensive becuz of Iraq and tax cuts not the goracle

“And let’s have that vote be public, as a new bill in Congress calls for.”

What’s a public vote? Do you think your union goons have a RIGHT to know how every individual voted?

Does anyone know how YOU voted in any state or federal election?

A public vote – if it discloses the individuals vote, is UNAmerican too.

Again, another loser proposal from a loser organization, trying to use FORCE and intimidation to control the rights of the individuals.

Thanks for letting me know this is in Congress. Do you have Bill Number?

I need to write my representatives and try to put a stop to this nonsense.

Sounds like a typical liberal initiative: Unions support democrats, so the socialist democrats support the unions.

Can’t win fair and square.

“Does anyone know how YOU voted in any state or federal election?”

Anyone who asks does.

I am not ashamed of my vote. Why would someone be afraid or ashamed of their vote being known?

“so that your union goons can intimidate the workers into voting the way the goons want”

And it DOES happen all the time. Many years ago as a sixteen year old, I worked at a grocery store. The employees voted to unionize (in a RIGHT TO WORK state BTW).

As a sixteen year old, making I think it was $1.35 minimum wage, I had few dollars to spare. Especially because this was during the time gas prices started escalating. At any rate – I declined.

The union stewart pestered me EVERY day, many times a day. I told him all I wanted to do was do my job. I next found myself getting scheduled for the worst shifts (nights and weekends suck for a sixteen year old), pickle jars would mysteriously fall off shelves – and “clean up in aisle 3″ would be called. Guess who got to do the cleanup?
Not a customer in the store and accidents would happen. I worked for a good store manager. I went to him and he complained to the union – but that just made it worse for me.

If they did this to a young kid, imagine the pressure the unionists put on other workers?
Accidents happen all the time, right?

Unions cannot stand on their own. They are falling apart as better educated Americans know what is going on and refuse to give up their wages to support a lost cause. Only in the public sector, are unions viable. And that is only because they can tax us to death to support their members.

“I next found myself getting scheduled for the worst shifts (nights and weekends suck for a sixteen year old),”

It sounds as if despite your very best efforts to suck up and play ball, that management didn’t like you either. They being the ones who set the hours.

You have the right to be a self serving assh%$*&.

I think you should be proud of it and share that rugged individualism with others!

“They being the ones who set the hours.”

Nope. The union stewart worked the shifts. Management said when we would be open.

“wage increase that the union negotiated for you.”

Minimum wage was a Federal requirement. That is what I was paid. Union didn’t negotiate anything for my benefit. I was kid and this was almost forty years ago.

BTW, the grocery store went broke. They couldn’t afford the union wages which later too effect. All the employees were on the street with picket signs. They stayed on the streets when the store closed. Nice big new grocery store took it’s place. Cheaper prices for consumers too. Very successful business today. Non-union.

Leonard Pitts is nothing but an extremist with an aptitude for violence.

When two white were tortured, raped and murdered, his concern to their parents was summed up in his famous four wrods, “Cry me a river.”

Anyone who quotes or respects a man like that has already gone off the deep end.

“Once a scab, always a scab”

And the above statement is why congress should NOT approve any law requiring public votes on unionization.

Thanks for making my case.

AmWay, Union membership in America is FAR LESS then the 18% you mentioned.

Try 12.1%. That’s down from 20.1% in 1983.

People are recognizing that Labor Unions do nothing for them, except collect dues and pay political bribes, er I mean contributions to Democrats.

UNION MEMBERS IN 2007

In 2007, the number of workers belonging to a union rose by 311,000 to
15.7 million, the U.S. Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics
reported today. Union members accounted for 12.1 percent of employed wage
and salary workers, essentially unchanged from 12.0 percent in 2006. In
1983, the first year for which comparable union data are available, the
union membership rate was 20.1 percent. Some highlights from the 2007
data are:

–Workers in the public sector had a union membership rate nearly five
times that of private sector employees.

–Education, training, and library occupations had the highest unioniz-
ation rate among all occupations, at 37.2 percent, followed closely
by protective service occupations at 35.2 percent.

–Among demographic groups, the union membership rate was highest for
black men and lowest for Hispanic women.

–Wage and salary workers ages 45 to 54 (15.7 percent) and ages 55 to
64 (16.1 percent) were more likely to be union members than were
workers ages 16 to 24 (4.8 percent).

“The shortage of grain crops is caused by an increased demand for them. This is caused because of the demand for grain to produce ethanol.”

Germie, dont forget the worldwide drought and shortage of water for crops and people.

You know I’m no fan of ethanol, but until last year, we hadnt had a crop for five years. Drought and freeze, both products of climate change.

Crops have been failing worldwide for years, especially wheat. It’s not JUST increased demand. It’s also decreased supply at the same time.

Economics 101

Only 12% of Americans are union workers?
Thanks Max, I couldn’t remember the exact percentage and errored on the high side to be safe.

Regardless, FEW Americans are union. In fact, almost sounds like the same percentage of Americans not covered with health insurance.

Yup AmWay, Union membership in Government is 5 times higher then in the private sector.

Why do you think Government is so f*cked up?

Has the time come? Are the winds of change in the air or the smell of complacency? Is it business as
usual in Tiahart’s Congress or is progress being made?

I say it is time for change and some new and fresh ideas. A person that does not carry their needs on their shoulders but carries the needs of the people.
Elected officals should work for the people they represent not their own personal needs. Elected officals spend more time building relationships for when they leave Congress then time working for the betterment of the people who sent them in the first place.

New ideas are needed. Elect a person who has shown they have what it takes to balance a check book, make and meet a budget, communicate to the employees in a positive manner and one they understand and want to follow. Leadership is formed over time, not formed because one is elected. Success in the business world is not a black eye but the badge of getting the job done. Look around, the best leader may be standing next to you?

To the Idiot who wanted Union Elections to be Public, instead of by Secret Ballot – you will have to have the National Labor Relations Act amended.

Yes, that same act that gave power to the Unions, also gave power and rights to Individuals, and to Employers.

Some would have Unions become our next dictators.

IF Union Elections were held in Public, then BOTH the Union and the Employer would have the right to stand over the shoulder of the employee to see how he/she voted.

Can you not see the problem when an employee is being coerced by the Union and the Employer to vote in different directions?

Perhaps the Idiot would advocate that all elections in America be by Public vote, so that he could hold a shotgun to the heads of those who didn’t vote the way he wanted.

The true Nazi’s are the Liberals. They are not the ones advocating Freedom of the Inidividual or following the Rule of Law.

“However, in union shops, non-union members should negotiate their own pay and benefits packages.”

Labor union members love to make the above cry, assuming an association from the “good acts” of the union which pursue higher wages/benefits for ALL workers.

But the reality would be a very sad day for unions.

If management could provide an incentive to workers to stay nonunion – a bigger pay raise might do the trick.

“The true Nazi’s are the Liberals. They are not the ones advocating Freedom of the Inidividual or following the Rule of Law.”

Because the Nazis abolished unions, liberals support unions, therefore liberals are Nazis. Nice conservative logic. BTW, the “rule of law” is the right to peaceable assemble. Corporations can assemble, so why can’t people?

A couple of comments:

Boeing was beat out by a unionized company in a unionized country.

Your food prices are high because your food is being delivered by trucks that get 6 mpg burning fuel that costs $4 per gallon.
Don’t blame it on the Arabs; blame it on a worthless dollar.

Oh, and remember, only 12.1% of American workers have voted to be Union.

It has been said that Bush is big on loyalty, it is a character trait that does not appear to have worn off on the chick hawks. Feith, Wolfowitz and a couple of minor players in the decisions about the invasion. Are on CSPAN now basically saying that they warned that what happen could happen in Iraq. But it was all BUSH’S FAULT!

“The shortage of grain crops is caused by an increased demand for them. This is caused because of the demand for grain to produce ethanol. Therefore the supply for my corn flakes is less making the cost for these go up.”

That’s a hoot grim. Current AM talk radio propaganda blames alt. fuels for increases in price.Amazing I look out the window and see mile after mile of Kansas land not being farmed.If the need was critical our super effiecent capitalist free market system would spring into action and fill in the gap with lower prices.Seems to me supply is fine, cost is getting out of hand though.

Great article Heckler! Saving that one.

“Please let me know about this farm land not being farmed. I know some folks who would be glad to farm it.

If you are talking about CRP, that land is set aside to stop erosion. It should have NEVER been farmed in the first place.”

Sure call Hillary Clinton the lady will fix you right up.

I LOVE green tomato pie!

And green tomato relish. Served with fried catfish, slaw, pinto beans and hush puppies. French fries and raw onion optional.

Damn. Now ya made me homesick for Texas again!

I agree with that amway. However, how do we keep farmers from plowing up highly erodible land?

The higher the prices, the more incentive to farm marginal land. That is a HUGE environmental problem. And a water quality problem.

Ya know, I was thinking the other day. The last time grain prices took this kind of jump was about 74 or 75. Right after the first oil embargo in 73 and energy prices were through the freakin’ roof.

Same thing today. Record crop prices following a huge jump in oil prices. The dollar was tanking back then too. That led to stagflation.

And what else did it lead to? I mean besides ronnie raygun?

Farm forclosures in the eighties. Remember when they auctioned off half the county on the courthouse steps. Crop prices were never as high as 1980 until recently.

I’m not a researcher, so I havent really worked this out, but… I hope I’m not on to something.

I hope history doesnt repeat itself.

“I hope the Russians love their children too”.

“If you are talking about CRP, that land is set aside to stop erosion. It should have NEVER been farmed in the first place.” – Annie.

You don’t know much about CRP if you believe that. It’s true that a lot of land that should have never been farmed was enrolled into CRP, but who got to enroll what was up to county committees. Thus, in some counties, during the poor farm years, 70 to 80 percent of the land was enrolled, while in adjacent counties, 10 or 15 percent was enrolled. There is a lot of dead flat, fertile farmland enrolled in CRP.

Also if you want to talk about land that isn’t farmed, you could talk about the millions of acres of right of ways and ditches alongside county roads and state and national highways. Ditches are natural collectors of water, and used cleverly, could out-produce adjacent farmland. In addition, suburbia could alone produce all the nation’s fruits and vegetables. It is the most heavily irrigated land in the country, and often the most fertile, since good flat land was the easiest to develop. Houses and streets only still cover less than half of that land, so if we ever got serious about growing more food, we could do it quit easily.

And that’s not even tapping the greenhouse potential, or the potential to produce food in novel ways, such as growing algae, and yes, bacteria and yeasts and fungus for food.

But it will take starvation on a massive scale before anyone thinks of these solutions, which won’t be needed as the problem is solved once two thirds or so of the people die.

Sorry Annie, I didn’t see that you quoted farm girl, who is less ignorant today than usual but still pretty ignorant. Yes, fallow and rotation are beautiful things. I see a lot of pale green greed wheat this year, though. When will they learn?

beber is STILL scroll over territory

kfg

I think the farmers remember(at least I hope the do) what happened around 1980. They started farming fence row to fence row and went in debt to buy land and equipment. Wheat was about 5 bucks a bushel.

Then came the Russian grain embargo. And the price of wheat tanked. And so did a lot of farmers.

The S.C. held for voter id., anyone surprised?

..and short term CD’s were paying close to 20%…

Anyone read about that guy that held his daughter captive for 28 yrs. in the basement, and fathered 6 children with her. The 18 and 19 yr. olds. had never seen sunlight! He should be executed, but maybe he’ll claim a religious connection and get backing from the RW.

Phantom please don’t try to blame this sick man on religion. He obviously wasn’t attending church unless they held it in his basement.

If you want the price of food to go down,raise interest rates.This will let some of the air out of commodities.

The down side is the increase in the amount of cash required to service the national debt.

Beber thanks for confirming what I suspected.

Personally I don’t think ethanol is a good solution.

Heckie, you are EXACTLY correct with your 1:41 post.

I remember the Russian wheat embargo well. Wheat, to the DAY was never as high again for over 20 years. No kidding.

I guess we showed the Russians! A real example of cutting off yer nose to spite your face. The Russians just went elsewhere for their wheat, and the international market punished US farmers for decades.

And what are we seeing now? Proposed grain embargos. By other countries this time, but still…

it’s deja vu all over again.

And who knows when the FIRST Sunflower coal plant went on line at Holcomb? And WHO serviced the electric needs of the farmers? Sunflowers members, that’s who!

Haven’t seen VT posting since registration kicked in. Has anyone else?

“Being in a union would be an embarrassment to me, an admission I’m a failure to act as a free man.” — Boxlock

What is corporate management if not a union making the rule for their own best interests? What you are talking about is losing your freedom and willingly becoming a slave.

The jobs left this country after the unions were broken. How can a working man spew such crap, or forget the hundreds of men, women and children who were shot, massacred and bludgeoned to get you what you have today, and what you are so rapidly losing. Unions represented workingman’s political power. When you lost it you lost your jobs, not because we out priced ourselves in the market, but because we adopted practices which were to the advantage of a handful in society, the rich, or oligarchs. How eagerly you seek to lick their hands.

Supreme Court Upholds Law Requiring Indiana Voters to Produce Photo IDs

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Monday upheld Indiana’s law requiring voters to present government-issued picture identification at the polls, validating Republican efforts to impose a law they say will cut down on voter fraud.

Those Unions broke many a company and/or pushed jobs overseas.

But hey, that was YOUR choice.

well, KFG’s also a bitch huh…well at least I’m in good company.

I know one when I encounter one, p.m. They’re like scabs.

“Opponents also argued that the time and expense of getting a state ID is a daunting process and cite generalized examples of people who had problems working with the state’s Bureau of Motor Vehicles.

But the state questions the legal standing of the petitioners and wonders how onerous can the law be if a major political party, two seasoned candidates and four substantial political-interest groups cannot find even one person injured by it.”

Time now to put the trucks onto trains, drive them to within 250 miles of their destination, then truck them the final <250 miles.

Borrowed from: JOHN A. MILLS,Topeka

Around 7 one morning, while stopped at the 10th Street crossing of the BNSF railway tracks, I observed the passing of a “double stack” intermodal train en route from Los Angeles to Kansas City, a distance of 1,800 miles via rail. I counted a total of 250 containers that can be unloaded onto truck chassis and could “pull up to the back of the local grocery store to deliver milk” (Zarger- Toff letter, Aug. 27). All the containers on the train ranged from 45 feet to 53 feet length and could have contained any product or been en route to any destination that an over-the-road rig could have.

The train was powered by three diesel-electric locomotives that under load each consume about 2 gallons of fuel per mile traveled. To travel the 1,800 miles they would burn a total of 10,800 gallons of fuel.

Had the 250 containers all been handled via highway, being that all were too long for “doubles” over the road, would mean that 250 tractors and necessary drivers would be required to equal that of the train. If pulling these containers 8 miles per gallon were consumed would require 56,250 gallons of fuel to do what the three locomotives accomplished or a 4-to-1 ratio in favor of the train vs truck. Even at 10 miles per gallon, which is highly unlikely, a total of 45,000 gallons of fuel would be consumed by the trucks.

Regarding fuel taxes, every gallon of fuel the railroad uses is subject to the same tax that the truckers are subject to. Fuel taxes generally go to highway construction and maintenance, which means the railroads are subsidizing the highway system. In addition, fuel and other taxes paid by users of the highways only cover 57 percent of the cost of the highway system, the other 43 percent comes from general tax funds, many of the payers who don’t even own or drive vehicles.

So far this year (through July 15) railroads have handled a total of 246, 114 trailers and containers, which is traffic taken off our highways. This is an 8 percent increase compared to 2005. Hopefully, this trend will continue as the railroads are hiring more train operators and spending billions of dollars to increase and improve infrastructure and at no cost to the taxpayers.

Funny AmWay, Shaw was a distant relative of mine.

Yup, same ole 2nd Amendment.

Shoot Regular, I forgot to mention that 15% of all highway deaths involve semi-trucks.

We could save 7,500 lives thru reduced truck accidents by taking them off the highways and putting them on rails.

God knows how many children are killed every year by trucks.

Not even totalling the injured and maimed survivors yet! Many of these are also children.

Dang Unions, killing 8,000 people a year with their trucks! That’s 2 Iraq’s every year!

Posted by beber

beber,
Corporate management is hired by the owners to do just that…manage the company for the owners. Or they are the owners themselves. And they want it done reasonably profitably. That means long-term profitability, which includes having a stable and reasonably happy work force.
The employees don’t own the company. They are rewarded for their labor (paid), but they don’t make the rules or set the conditions for work except to accept or decline work. And that is why I, and they, are not slaves, we have the freedom to decline. I am free to negotiate something to my liking or walk on down the road to something else that suits me if not happy where I am. I am not entitled to dictate to the owners how the company is run as it’s not my company. In fact I am hesitant to even invest in a company with strong union intervention if it negatively impacts profitability, it’s not in my best interest as an investor/owner.
Got it? :roll:

AmWay, Max: I got no problem with the folks wh caught the Post Office burglar, except this:

“After we had chased him for about half a mile I fired at him, but missed.”

Ooops. That’s a no-no. When can deadly force be used? To defend life of self or another, NOT to stop a criminal, unless said criminal was a threat to others. LEO’s could not legally use deadly force in such a circumstance. See Tennessee v. Garner, 471 U.S. 1.

Mr. Shaw should be thankful he missed; had he hit his target, he’d certainly the be subject of suit, if not prosecution. And he’d lose.

GMC, I suspect the rules were different in 1908.

And besides, Soper had priors, and a known drunkard, so repeat offenders were probably handled more severely.
