Private enterprise is lining up to help pay for the nation’s crippling infrastructure.
Norman Anderson, informal advisor to the Trump “Infrastructure Task Force,” says there are 68 infrastructure projects ready to go under president-elect Trump and taxpayers will not have to pay for it.
“Forty billion dollar’s-worth of electricity transmission projects [are] ready to go as soon as we can move through the approval process,” Anderson told the FOX Business Networks Stuart Varney.
However, regulatory hurdles must be addressed he said....

But...but...electricity comes from COAL and COAL is destroying Mother Erf!
OK, then. No additional electrical power lines to solid Blue States!
*SMIRK*
So. Much. Winning!
They could create all the electricity they need from salt water if they’d be creative
Shovel ready?
Where have I heard this before?
This sounds very promising!
Salt from the tears of the current crop of LOSERS! ;)

Obama’s team wasn’t wrong. However being the weak leader that Obama is, he bowed to the pressure of the feminists whining about how all that work would go to men and switched the funding to education and green energy projects.

I understand when pure h2O is processed from sea water the salty brine can be used to produce electricity.
CA has a water shortage and they have a long coastline .....
Sounds awesome. Go, President Trump, go!
They also have that whack-job Jerry Brown as their Gubaner!
I lived in CA in the early 80’s. There were salt-making plants all along the coast. What they did with the resultant fresh water, I never knew!
Donald should announce that low energy prices will help the economy so he will support building more power plants and oil refineries and will tell the states to stop adding fees and taxes to our power and gas bills to pay for the gov’t employee pensions.
No reason electricity should be .18/kw when it costs far less to produce.

SEIU will not be happy.
According to the American Chemical Council (ACC), production of plastic resins in North America rose to 108 billion pounds in 2014 and the industry continues to expand, generating $87.1 billion in annual revenues in the U.S. as of 2012. As of early 2015, about 225 new plastic resin projects had been announced, representing investments of $137 billion through 2023. The industry is growing and the outlook is positive especially for North America due to the increasing availability of low-cost natural gas. Understanding how communities can position themselves to capture this growth is the intent of this article.
Plastic resins are derivatives of one or more monomers such as ethylene, styrene, propylene, vinyl chloride, etc., which are sourced primarily from oil and natural gas - See more at: http://www.tradeandindustrydev.com/industry/plastics/site-selection-trends-plastics-industry-10999#sthash.lqkos9WQ.dpuf
I can’t stand all the winning! Please, someone tell President (well, I can live 4 days in the future, right?) to stop!
Businessman gnome I know told me the following on 11/9/12. He'd just back from seeing all his clients, they told him yup all those projects we were ready to go with? They are cancelled, they were hoping for POTUS Romney and some relief from regulation. So, that ( and others since 08' ) capital has been sitting on this side lines?
How much of these 68 projects are those that have been waiting for "Da-One" to be gone?
We might never know, all I know is the water is fine and I think they are gonna jump in.
Do they have ANY editors over at Fox???!?
Most efficient method of producing freshwater from seawater is done by the flash evaporation method whereby the seawater is heated by combusting natural gas(which we have plenty of). Largest water desalination plants that I am aware of are in Saudi on the Persian Gulf. Desalinated water is pumped through 6-foot concrete pipelines to the larger metropolitan areas hundreds of miles away. The concentrated brine is dumped back into the gulf.
I think they’re drunk. Or maybe they mean people are crippled when the bridges collapse, or when people trip over cracks in the sidewalks.
My money’s on ‘drunk’.
When I’m drunk, I just plain can’t type. (There was a New Year’s Eve Undead Thread that demonstrated this, and also showed me in my pajamas.)
However, these people are professionals. They know what they’re doing. “Crippling infrastructure, Bruce!” “Yeah, Tyler, that’s the ticket. Vivid verbiage!”
