us on U-238 & a windfarm? ________________________________________ The community''s business with Dick Messbarger Let''s recognize our other energy sources March 28, 2005 Forget the old slogans touting ""A sport forever Texas"" and ""The Living Legend."" We''re going to start touting our area as the ""Diversified Energy Capital of Texas."" The Kleberg-Kenedy county region long has been a major producer of oil and gas, and about 20 years ago Uranium Resources Inc. (URI) with the Kingsville Dome Project initiated uranium mining. Advertisement This past year, American Shoreline announced the Penascale Wind Farm in Kenedy County, a potential $400-million project that could produce enough electricity to power the entire city of Brownsville. A second wind farm comparable in size to the Penascale effort has been discussed with Kenedy County Commissioners and also would be located along the coast in Kenedy County. So, if you look at oil and gas production, uranium mining and the prospect of wind generation, you see why I''m proposing a new slogan for the area. Some even have suggested that if you could tap into some discussions by area political entities, the hot air generated could produce another energy source - geo-thermal (that one will get me into trouble, but it was too rich to pass up). Uranium mining in Kleberg County has not followed a smooth road to production. Opposed by the Kleberg County Commissioners Court, URI eventually opened a mine that produced millions of pounds of yellow cake during its years of active operation. URI had a positive impact on the area''s economy but failed to complete restoration of its minefield, hampering its efforts to reopen the mine. When the price of uranium started falling in the 1980s, primarily because of Russia dumping an oversupply of enriched uranium on the world market, domestic mining came to a screeching halt. The price fell to as low as $7 a pound and it became impossible for unsubsidized uranium mining companies to stay competitive. Only foreign firms in places like Canada, Australia, China and Russia continued mining because their governments provided financial support - as our government has in steel, agriculture, railroads and shipping industries. Now the picture has changed. The price of uranium has been climbing to all-time highs (above $20 a pound) and the demand is skyrocketing. Because there was a surplus of uranium for years, the development of new fields was stymied and old mines were shut down - and most U.S. uranium mining companies went out of business. Today there is a major shortfall in uranium mining. This comes as 25 new nuclear plants are under construction, 37 plants are on line for construction during the next few years, and 74 plants are proposed (20 new plants in China alone). The atom generates 20 percent of U.S. electricity and powers 16 percent of the world''s electricity. World consumption is 180 million pounds a year, while production sits at around 100 million pounds. Gerald Grandey, CEO of Cameco, a Canadian uranium mining company, told a mining conference in Vancouver last week: ""The shortfall between demand and production has been covered by civilian and military inventories these inventories are finite and cannot continue to bridge the shortfall between consumption and primary mine production beyond a few more years."" Harry Anthony, a Kleberg County resident and expert in the uranium mining industry, has been traveling the globe evaluating potential mine fields in places such as Mongolia, Kazakhstan and Australia. He points out that the annual uranium requirement for the United States is around 55 million pounds for nuclear refueling, but the current domestic production stands at 2.3 million pounds. That means we are importing 95 percent of the fuel for domestic nuclear plants, a larger dependency on foreign uranium sources than oil. Anthony has scanned the old Humble/Exxon logs and feels there are potentially large uranium deposits in the area, particularly in Kleberg and Kenedy counties. Currently there doesn''t appear to be much of an appetite for expanded uranium mining with current landowners and governmental bodies. Experts in the nuclear industry have said for years that another nuclear plant likely won''t be approved for construction in the United States. Regardless, with oil at $50-plus a barrel, natural gas prices climbing and the downside to the environment with coal-fired plants, the prospects of generating energy from wind and the atom look more promising each day. And that, my friends, makes the Wild Horse Desert appear as the ""Diversified Energy Capital of Texas."" Dick Messbarger is executive director of the Greater Kingsville Economic Development Council.

Has anyone seen a sign in KLEBERG county? As I recall, Banales only had the signs placed in Nueces... If there is one, what is the address. Block number will do, if you don''t want to give the address...

Good intuition.............. 5/1/2005 8:39:36 AM
to make such an observation. I am sure Banales has many a pedophile enemy. And as you know they do have moral turpitude. I do not beleive this is the case even though to toy with the allegations is amusing. The underlying motives for this judicial creation has the stench of a Hubertian Cleberg Republican Party Agenda. With A Tony ""Two Fer"" Canales / Booth / Border Patrol Federal Element. Is that what you were not saying Guido?

Jaime, what''s wrong with a new district court?

Juan Escobar, John Hubert, Lomas and the Running W Puppet Show. Told Ya 5/2/2005 8:06:24 AM
First of all they don''t need it. Next, Romeo Lomas & John Hubert is acting on behalf of the King Ranch for the King Ranch Agenda. The underlying motives for this judicial creation has the stench of a Hubertian Cleberg Republican Party Agenda. With A Tony ""Two Fer"" Canales / Booth / Border Patrol Federal Element. Manuel Banales does not beleive it is needed. He is not a malleable Judge is the reason they wish to circumvent. Tobin & Anne Armstrong have come out against the idea also. Probably because it will place Kenedy County at the hands of Cleberg County? Plan A which was to get Guy Williams into the DA''s Office and John Hubert into the Lege with the Good ole Boy Mayor Fugate and Lomas ''the drunk"" brown nosing and advocating King ranch Agenda. Plan A failed. But it did reveal a lot! Plan A did not work. on to Plan B Now Plan B A New District Court with a Puppet Judge and prosecutor for the Sarita Check point $$$$$$$$$$$$ and Border Patrol influence with the WIA funded Drug Interdiction / Seizure / Forfeiture assets. They don''t want the court for reasons of Comity. They want it so they can install their people to accomplish a certain agenda. They want a Puppet in the Wild Horse Desert! Next thing you know they will have Tony ""Two Fer a Nickel"" Canales Presiding! A Puppet Bench, a Puppet DA and they already have the KFATSO Mole. He is the CEO and Ed Byrne Operative while at TAMUK!

If they are using the excuse that the 105th has only a part time judge, will a full time judge solve the problem?
Jaime KenedenoPosts: 1460

You need to go to the Docket Call.... 5/2/2005 10:41:47 AM
and witness true efficiency at work. Banales is a Work A Holic. In Cleberg the Community Supervision department is a cash cow. Not because of the fines and fees that the revolving door brings in but because of the Grants they get to operate the facilities. Then each ""special situation"" of a probationer merits another type of Grant. They alway fight dirty in Kingsville for the positions that control the Procurement & Acquisition and thus the plush grant money. The 105th bills Cleberg and oversees the Forfeitures and seizures also. There is a Plea Bargain System and Unadjudicated probation is a common sentence. So the Adjudication or Criminal trial is sort of postponed and postponed while the probationer is complying. If he messes up they can revoke and adjudicate. You cannot truyst Lomas or Hubey! Escobar got bullied into the lege!
