Repercussions for people outside New Orleans

Most (not all, but most) of the sensors you speak of are for allowing the
passage of emergency vehicles, not for determining traffic flows. Most
communities don't even have those.

Are you kidding me? NC seems to love the "trip light" concept. Does it
make sense? No. Do they use it at almost every intersection, even 4 lane
highways? Yes.

On a highway between Lenoir and Hickory NC, the lights are all on trip
sensors. It is nearly impossible to go from one town to the other in
daylight hours, without being stopped by at least 3/4ths of the lights.
They are going to have to widen it to 6 lanes. (under planning now) If they
would time the lights so traffic could flow, they could put off widening for
at least 5 years.

By the way, mostly they are magnetic loop type, pavement embedded wires.

I do believe that the Supreme Court would be most interested in the
executive branch rescinding something that the legislative branch enacted.

True, but a president can declare a state of emergency, and simply order it
to be built.

By the time this case works its way to the Supreme Court, we'll be awash in
cheap gasoline!

Better yet, require the money that would be paid as the Winfall Profits Tax
be spent on new refining capability within the borders of the US.

No he can't.

One problem the United States has in the world is the foreigners think
the President is some sort of King with divine powers that can make
things happen instantly. It is amazing how many US citizens seem to make
that same mistake.

a) Any Federal District judge which is the lowest level, can issue an
injunction to stop work.

b) The President can't order locals to issue building permits which is
another set of lawsuits waiting to happen.

c) Construction companies will hesitate to risk their business in face
of endless lawsuits.

I wonder what they EPA and the environazis would have to say about that?

Hey, we'll build one in your neighborhood -- hey, no complaining, you wanted
more refining capacity.

You've heard of NIMBY, haven't you?

And people whine while the problem continues to exacerbate. Tough **** --
you made your beds, now sleep in them.

No he can't.

Correct, but he can stop one.

Most, it seems, including most youths, but also many that are WAY beyond
knowing better.

"Mr. President, Please Make Us Proud." That was the cover story in the
January 28 issue of Parade, the

nation's most widely circulated magazine with 37 million copies distributed
inside Sunday newspapers. The magazine had asked "teens across America"

what they would "ask our new President to do for them [and] their families,
schools and communities."

And boy, did the teens have ideas. They seemed to regard the new president
as a combination of Superman, Santa

Claus, and Mother Teresa.

As I said in a earlier post I'd be happy to have as many as you can build
here. There is already one slightly over a mile from where I live now and
another one about 17 miles away. We also have 2 chemical plants all fine
corporate citizens.

That smell you smell is the smell of jobs and money.
