For Texas, Economics Is Dust in the Wind

If I can be forgiven a little piece of hometown news (albeit one that I think is of general interest) the halls of power in Lubbock, Texas, are abuzz with the notion that the city has a fair shot at landing Tesla’s new $5 billion “Gigafactory” building the lithium-ion batteries that power its cars and those of some other automakers as well. That speculation is a bit premature — Tesla is still working through negotiations at the state level, with Rick Perry personally leading the campaign to edge out Nevada, New Mexico, and Arizona — but the powers that be in Lubbock believe that they have something special to offer: wind. If you are looking for wind power, and Tesla is said to desire to incorporate it into the new facility, then West Texas is the place to be.  There’s the wind itself, which is endless, but there is also — and I know this sounds made-up — the National Wind Institute,  which houses a variety of research projects related to wind energy and other wind-oriented subjects. Texas Tech University is one of the go-to places for wind-energy research. (The wind geeks there also have a tornado simulator, which is kind of cool.)


The Tesla story is a good example of the fact that business and economics are really two very different fields. Business does not work the way we ideologues think that it should.


Conservatives will note with some glee that Tesla apparently never even gave serious thought to building the plant in California, where the company is based. Texas presumably is on the list for the usual reasons: a very business-friendly tax-and-regulatory environment, low cost of doing business, etc. There is hardly a union goon to be seen, and General Motors and Toyota both operate happily in the state. About 15 percent of Texas’s economy is manufacturing, much of it related to the energy industry, but there is a substantial non-energy manufacturing economy as well. Forbes recently ranked Houston first in the nation for manufacturing jobs, and, with 21 percent growth in manufacturing over the past ten years, it’s not hard to see why.


But Tesla is not a success story for the free-market purists. It was famously the beneficiary of low-interest financing from the federal government. And Tesla in Texas, should that come to pass, would not be a case study for free-market purists, either. Texas has a very good business climate, but there is more to it than low taxes. Austin became a high-tech center in no small part because the University of Texas cranks out a big class of engineers and code-monkeys every year. That wind-energy research in Lubbock is funded largely by government entities. One of the ironies of the political culture of my hometown is that it is a very conservative place in which the two big economic players — the university and the cotton industry — are government-supported.


And if Texas does land the Tesla plant, it will not be because Rick Perry is so good at making the case for the economics of Milton Friedman, but because he is an expert practitioner of state-level mercantilism.


Is that so bad?


Tesla courtship represents what I think is a reasonably good model for economic development, much as it may offend my ideological sensibilities. If government is going to spend money on economic development, then funding for university-based science and engineering research must be at or near the top of the list for prudent uses of taxpayers’ money. As jobs programs go, offering sweetheart tax deals to employers is preferable to adding 10,000 Head Start teachers or whatever it is the Democrats are proposing this week. Yes, all of that amounts to subsidies for businesses with the political and economic clout to demand them. But until our federal, state, and local governments adopt the Williamson platform, the question is not whether to have a relatively high level of government involvement in what should be private economic matters but exactly what kind of involvement to have. There are better and worse ways to do that. I’ll take funding science research over trying to reinflate the housing bubble on behalf of the National Association of Realtors ten times out of ten.


That is something to think about for Republicans as they look for ways to connect with voters on the bread-and-butter issues. Current cost estimates for federal  corporate welfare run around $100 billion. If some substantial share of that were cut, we could apply some of the savings to deficit reduction and redirect some of it to basic science research. I suspect that many Democrats, knowing that their voters are very often found attached, piglet-style, to educational institutions, would not object to backing such a deal. It would be a way to help address the Republicans’ “Santa Claus problem.” The Democrats promise voters free stuff — it always works out badly, but it sounds good in November — and Republicans promise voters tax cuts. Republicans have done such a good job delivering on tax cuts for the middle class and the poor that the issue has lost much of its efficacy. So, what do Republicans have to offer instead? Rick Perry has been the most successful governor in modern Texas history not because of his winning personality or because of an Ann Richards-style personality cult, but because he can point to something that he and other Texas Republicans have delivered on for voters: jobs. Lots of them.


The reality is that a federal government that looked more like Texas government would not be an exercise in unmixed conservative wish-fulfillment. But it would be a hell of an improvement.

Standards For Constructing Your Commercial Greenhouse

The productivity and performance of running a greenhouse is primarily depending on the type of expanding products used.

Sort of Greenhouses

Removed greenhouses typically separately stand from each other. However, they could be signed up with to acquire access by way of a passage to the various other greenhouse.


This article from Green Life Team is about:a greenhouse


The Quonset is the most usual detached sort of greenhouse for usage in industrial production. These kinds are created using arched rafters that generally have end solid wall surfaces for extra help. Quonset greenhouses types are appropriate for many crop assortments however the increasing capacity is to a specific degree restricted near “the side walls” which lowers efficiency and effectiveness.


Ridge greenhouses are joined with the eave with a shared rain gutter. Normally, an interior wall surface found underneath the gutter system is missing permitting raised performance.


Ridge greenhouses can either be curved arch or gabled. Gabled greenhouses are typically appropriate for considerable treatments such as fiberglass or glass, whereas curved arch greenhouses are typically covered with much lighter products such as polycarbonates or polyethylene. Lots of linked spine greenhouses typically are called “range”.


Planning


This is among the vital steps which need to be taken into cautious consideration by the raiser. Effective area selection with connection to effort, markets, utilities and also future expansion actually makes a lot of distinction in how the company will certainly profit and expand.


Below are standard things to think about:.


- Crops that you will certainly be expanding (potted plants, Bed linen     plants, perennials, herbs, veggies, and so on).


-The expanding period of the crops (periodic or year-round).


-Plants that will certainly be increased (flats, pots, hydroponics bed, troughs, and so on).


-Expanding medium (no dirt, soil, mix, garden compost, nutrient option, etc.).


-Increasing methods (flooring, movable or taken care of benches, growing bags, beds and flood).


-Yearly efficiency (room that is required).


-Advertising and marketing procedure (retail, retail or both).


-Investment or capital.


Here are things to be taken into consideration when building an industrial greenhouse:.


1. Space. The area called for greatly depends on your type of company whether retail or retail. The minimal space must be basically 2 acres so to offer car parking for workers and clients, driveway accessibility for distributions, location for storage as well as for future development. A wholesale venture usually will need far more because the greenhouse will certainly be a whole lot more bibber and bigger.


2. Zoning. These are local laws that manages ranch usage and motivate security, health and the area’s well-being. Keep in mind that greenhouse procedures are permitted particularly zones just.


Frontage, ranges of side backyards, signs and also garage ought to be specified. You need to verify with your zoning officer and ask just what is needed and ask concerning structure codes so you will certainly know if a permit will certainly be required.


3. Highway Gain access to. Website area with regards to freeways should be considered. For retail home based business, a place beside or along a high website traffic road or close to a significant domestic site can substantially boost business. Wholesale home based business requires accessibility to some interstate road so to manage massive truck roadway traffic.


4. Environment. Select a location that is away from “industrial contamination”.


5. Climate. Avoid locations with severe temperatures, as in the wintertime plant growth is straight associated the light that is received.


6. Ski slope. Ground ski slope to supply water drainage is vital. Greenhouses have to be located on crushed rock base, 6-12 inches over grade.


7. Water. Plants need enough dampness supply for ideal development and the highest production of blooms. About how much water is needed will substantially be figured out by how big is the location that will certainly be sprinkled, weather, plants increased, time of the year and “the setting control device”.


Note that water that originates from “natural sources” have some amount of pollutants existing, and are at times harmful to plant development. You need to have the water examined for chemicals that can be present in your water system, to attend to the issue, if there is an issue.


8. Electric power. Your commercial greenhouse ought to have adequate supply of electricity in addition to circulation system should be offered so to provide and manage atmosphere in the greenhouse. As early as in the creating stage of the greenhouse, you must already call on your area’s electric energy pertaining to power accessibility as well as call on your electrical contractor to design the electrical format.


9. Development. All throughout the advancement and planning stage, arrangements need to be taken into consideration for later development.


Note that before entering into business, as in any sort of business, mindful assessment needs to be made just before a choice is made. Strategy it carefully. Good Luck.

Austin Energy close to signing 'cheapest' solar power deal experts have seen

Austin Energy is poised to sign what could be the world’s cheapest solar-power deal.


The city-owned electric utility has agreed to terms with SunEdison to buy electricity from two solar farms in West Texas, one a 350,000-panel, 100-megawatt facility, the other a nearby 150,000-panel, 50-megawatt neighbor. The price is just below 5 cents per kilowatt-hour. That is far cheaper than solar energy had generally been going for — and less than a third of the price Austin Energy agreed to pay in 2009 for electricity from a much smaller solar array just east of the city.

Rooftop Revolution: How Solar Power Can Save Our Economy-and Our Planet-from Dirty Energy (BK Currents)

The Biggest Untold Economic Story of Our Time

Here is the truth that the powerful Dirty Energy public relations machine doesn’t want you to know: the ascent of solar energy is upon us. The production of solar-generated electricity has risen exponentially in the last few years, and employment in the solar industry has doubled since 2009. Meanwhile, electricity from coal has declined to pre–World War II levels as the fossil fuel industry continues to shed jobs.

Danny Kennedy systematically refutes the lies spread by solar’s opponents—that it is expensive, inefficient, and unreliable; that it is kept alive only by subsidies; that it can’t be scaled; and many other untruths. He shows that we need a rooftop revolution to break the entrenched power of the coal, oil, nuclear, and gas industries. Solar energy can create more jobs, return our nation to prosperity, and ensure the sustainability and safety of our planet. Now is the time to move away from the dangerous energy sources of the past and unleash the amazing potential of the sun.
