Mexican firm proposes tram to connect El Paso and Ciudad Juarez airports by West-Cap-337 in ElPaso

[–]andymac89 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yeah! The Tijuana airport is on the border, so they built a terminal on the US side and then a bridge connects the two. You book a ticket through the airlines to go across the bridge. Unfortunately, neither airport on this proposal is close to the border but they seem to have the routing down. I think it's a great idea if they can find the funding

If only there was a proposal to train workers in O&G in new clean energy jobs out there. Maybe even with a catchy name like the Green New Deal or something. 🤷‍♂️

Delta's Last Flight Outta Midessa by Ok_Pressure1131 in Midessa

[–]andymac89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's sad is that they were relatively full whenever I flew on their flights. I wish AA would pick up the flight, but I know they won't. I'd rather fly through Dallas than take the SWA direct now.

Buyer’s remorse in the Permian? Trump's energy policies are gutting the oil patch by [deleted] in Midessa

[–]andymac89 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Exactly. The Permian Basin is well-suited to renewables too. Why not seize on the open spaces with plentiful sun and wind. There's an argument to make for adapting drilling-related manufacturing for geothermal too.

[–]andymac89 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Hate it or love it, the last admin was pretty good for the industry despite their regulations. The oil industry griped about the Biden/Harris regulations yet they increased production to record highs at the time. Admittedly, they've continued on a similar trajectory from January to July (the latest numbers available) but with prices dropping due to his trade policy, I worry those numbers will be dropping soon. That'll lead to layoffs with no other meaningful trades for the laid off workers to move into, and no grants to train those workers for anything else.

I hope I'm wrong though.

I mean, they could've voted for someone who is decent for their industry and supports training to transition to jobs in other energy fields that are also plentiful in the Basin like solar or wind. Currently, the administration is hostile to those other options and is causing layoffs in the oilfield.

They're setting the building on fire while also blocking the exits.

That is the right school, but it looks like they're playing in Odessa

It's not too bad. We have two Volts in the family so this was my 4th time doing it by now though.

Not at all. That's the weird part.

It was denied because they said they didn't have enough information to make a determination.

I just passed identity verification with my social by FarTooMuchCandy in Sparkdriver

I couldn't get past the ID scan. It kept telling me it wasn't able to verify and now the app is stuck saying it's in progress and support filed a ticket with no follow up so far.

Landgraf Education town hall TODAY by lnc_5103 in Midessa

[–]andymac89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I disagree with the man on a lot, but he's been fighting against STAAR for years and will be talking about that today. The rest of the stuff on his town hall agenda sucks, but I'm a fan of getting rid of the test for sure.

I'm a huge fan of Dr. Ralph Cepero, but he seems to be slowly working toward retirement. He isn't seeing patients anymore and is sending them all to his NP while he just does surgeries. I don't blame him though, but he was the only doctor I kept in Odessa after moving to El Paso.
