US cold snap: Why is Texas seeing Arctic temperatures?

Cloud seeding


That's real. I don't know how sinister though

I've got more than a couple relatively normal buddies who absolutely believe chemtrails are the end of humanity.

It doesn't take a big leap to consider the possibility that those with the means and the motivation do shitty things to other people for their own gain. That's, well, pretty much the history of mankind.

Didn't say I believe in weather weapons but it doesn't mean I can't entertain the off-chance that some crazy shit is in development/has been developed without the general public's knowledge. Christ, just thinking back to Desert Swarm - I sat there for HOURS watching the scuds knock rockets from the sky. It was amazing technology. Night goggles - who knew?!? Had never heard word one about it before that.

Christ, I had a drinking buddy who worked on the Stealth bomber project at Boeing. Never said a word. Next thing you know, there's phantom undetectable planes flying around.

So, yeah, OBK drives @dflea into a sativa rage daily which is nice. Doesn't mean OBK might not have a ring of truth in his art.

If this was trump they'd be crucifying him 24/7

The Keystone pipeline upon completion would carry more than 800,000 barrels or 33.6 million gallons of oil through the pipeline per day. With no harmful emissions.
A Barrel of Oil is 42 gallons, not to be confused with a Drum which is 55 gallons.
Because a gallon of oil weighs between 7.5 and 7,8 lbs per gallon, most trucks can't carry but up to 130 barrels of oil at a time without violating our department of transportation laws of 80,000 lbs. on our roadways.
That's truck and cargo weight. It would take 6,154 more trucks going just from Canada to the Gulf Coast for that same oil, and that's every single day.
Now a rail car holds approx. 30,000 gallons or 700 barrels. It would take trains every day pulling 1,143 more rail cars per day, just pulling the oil from that pipeline from Canada to the Gulf Coast.

Trains and Trucks emitting more emissions and burning more fuel that would be eliminated by the pipeline. It has nothing to do with the environment.

The other fact is that at some price point, the oil gets shipped to the chicoms. No more refinery work for the US gulf workers. You think the chicoms give a phuck about their CO2 emissions?

So Mexico has power and the US doesn't? How spectacular!

Mostly natural gas.
