The modern nation-state is in a secular decline, made inevitable by the rise of a global market system. Even developed nations, like the US, [...] It will desalinate 3,000 gallons a day at first, but is capable of doing 60,000 gallons. We’re from BP and we know what we’re doing and never fib Their lips are moving. Old joke, true. But quite accurate when it comes to BP Let’s see. First it was 1,000 barrels a day, then 3,000, then 5,000, even as others said the real number was much higher. They chased away reporters [...] Pat Shannahan/ The Arizona Republic. Part of a slideshow The crowd was estimated at over 10,000, less than hopes of 50,000 but still sizable. It was about 100 degrees too, so that may have kept some away.

[...] Since our recent move from southern California to southern Utah, I’ve spoken with quite a few people who think California is still the promised land and there are lots of jobs there. Not so. Unemployment is 12% or so statewide (Imperial County has a whopping 32% unemployed), several municipalities including L.A. are near bankruptcy, [...] CalEnergy Vice President Mark Gran introduces the company’s 340 megawatt geothermal plant on the southern shore of the Salton Sea. The plant produces enough energy to power around 300,000 homes. The Imperial Valley has the potential to produce a stunning 2300 megawatts of this renewable resource. Thats enough energy to power more than 2 [...] Recorded August 27, 1994 during the 2-day Sleazefest at Local 506 in Chapel Hill, NC. This scene was taken from the documentary “Sleazefest: The Movie” from No Place Like Home Productions on Sleazy Spoon Records.
