Easy for you to say!
Some of us are here for life, we cannot, or do not want to, “Just Move”.
The hope is that Gov. Sisso-Lick and his fellow socialist will have taken too much too quickly, so that the back-lash sees them removed at the next election and their schemes repealed.
Sounds good. As long as society holds up and propane is available, it should be a decent system.
I haven’t studied how it works, or the down side, so others may have some issues I’m not aware of.
Thanks for the mention.
I stayed in Tonopah for about a month on business five years or so ago. I found it to be a strange little town — pure bleakness out on the edge of civilization.
Then there was that crazy sort of ritzy hotel on the downtown strip. It was once the tallest building in Nevada and was renonowned for having hot water and I think an elevator. This was back when Tonopah was a mining boomtown, like maybe in the late 1800s. By the 1970s it was ramshackle and then boarded up, but I think in the ‘90s or early 2000s some enterprising entrepreneur managed to get a state historical grant to spruce it up and make it operational again.
That had happened a few years before I was there. It had a reasonably nice restaurant at its lobby level where we’d eat from time to time.
Here it is, the Mizpah hotel:

My timeline was a little off but I was close.
I remember when that eye-sore was being pushed as a great thing.
“JOBS! Lots of JOBS!”
And that was even somewhat true, but only during the construction phase.
So, now that it’s gone bust, will there be LOTS OF JOBS! in dismantling it?
Will it become just another abandoned industrial site to be slowly scavenged by tweakers?
Or will it continue to annoy all who drive by with it’s glare while still roasting birds?
Yep different plant... similar to the one at Stateline in CA...this one is near Tonopah between LV and Reno. The CA stateline one is proforming poorly too.
Yeah, it still had gaming when I was there.
The royalty of Tonopah.
The Station House was very new.
Or to cook mass quantities of bacon. To supply the strategic bacon reserve.
and it thrills me the way that same govt enriches its friends by hundreds of millions......
It could be turned into a low carbon crematorium. Democrats are going to burn somewhere, might as well get cooked off by star power.
I lived at the Tonopah apartments.
Me and a number of USAF, USMC, and USN all playing RADAR on the Range.
Thank you, looked it up in the interim. CA plant is a burden and an eyesore— to everyone and everything, including birds, tortoises, pilots, taxpayers, desert fungi.....
—you are probably thinking of the one south of Vegas near Ivanpah—hasn’t been much in the media about it but a few years ago it was using so much natural gas th keep the fluids warm at night that it had to get an enhanced California emissions permit—
—its other claim to fame is as a bird burner—
Yep, lots of that stuff going on out there. I guess the range was probably the main employer.
>> so what’s the result
Sodomites don’t generate power
Oh, right, Ivanpah. That’s the one. Thanks.
No Doubt.
We ran two Ford buses a day.
I don’t regret it at all but it was a young man’s game.
I left for PHX soon after.
YUP! It “Flames” the birdies!
Not easy to say and especially not easy to do. But this Sword of Damocles is untenable. Now is the time to start a grassroots movement to stop the madness. I wouldn't want to pack up and move either but the alternative is fight back like your livelihood and life is on the line. These vultures think nothing of picking our bones clean in the name of Climate Change regardless of the carnage.
The hope is that Gov. Sisso-Lick and his fellow socialist will have taken too much too quickly<
Hope is a passive strategy. Time to email and/or phone candidates friendly to the cause of Liberty. Good luck.
