No drill, baby, drill off CaliforniaAnd there are negative impacts on shore as well: The oil rigs, pipelines and other infrastructure needed for drilling can displace businesses and devalue coastal properties. There is no reason to endanger California's environment and economy.
It's official: Oregon won't be the same ever againUnlike Carters transition from "Guns and Butter", Republicans will see that we invest in infrastructure, Fair trade, and limited government. We have never been a people that take hand outs. We will give a "hand up" but not a "hand out".

No drill, baby, drill off California - San Francisco Chronicle

Fortunately, within weeks of President Obama's inauguration, his new Interior secretary, Ken Salazar, put the plan on hold, calling it a "headlong rush of the worst kind" that was made with "almost no consultation from states, industry or community input." Salazar, to his credit, is in San Francisco Thursday for the last of four regional meetings to listen to our concerns.
As Californians, we should speak with one voice and tell the new administration, unequivocally, that oil and gas drilling off our coast would be an environmental and economic disaster.
This is not our first battle to protect our coast. In the 1970s, President Jimmy Carter's Interior secretary, Cecil Andrus, came to California after the oil embargo to explore the idea of new offshore oil and gas leases. In the 1980s, President Ronald Reagan's Interior secretary, James Watt, made a desperate push to build new oil rigs off our coast. Now the "drill, baby, drill" mantra could once again put California's coast in peril.

How long has Portland Oregon used de-icing salts for winter road maintenance?
Dec 15, 2008 by oliwha1 | Posted in Portland
I thought that PDOT / ODOT preferred the use of sand over chemical deicing agents on our roadways, for reason of environmental, cost, and property/infrastructure damage limitation.
According to ODOT they don't use salt, instead magnesium chloride with 'corrosion inhibitor'

Oregon uses chemical deicers because it helps to (1) break up the bond between ice and the road and (2) helps prevent ice from forming on the road.
The state highway department began widespread use of chemical deicers in the 1990s (I couldn't find the exact date).
Here's a link to all the information about deicers (including safety issues): http://www.tripcheck.com/Pages/RCMap.asp?mainNav=RoadConditions&staticNav=WinRoadMain
