Tanker truck, chemical truck and power poles in Pearl District crash




A crazy accident scene in the Pearl District involved two big trucks, power poles and at least one crushed car. 

It all happened at around 11:30 a.m. Tuesday at Northwest 14th and Marshall. 

Witnesses said a chemical truck tried to pull out of the way of a nearby tanker truck, but the driver accidentally hit a guide line connected to a power pole. When the truck pulled forward, the line brought down one power pole and it led to a domino effect. 

The surrounding poles and lines also came down.high quality auto scanners sale will help read and diagnose automotive problems on OBDI and OBDII compliant vehicles.For more information,click:www.smartobd2s.comMyvalvecaps offers you the best range of tire valve sale wholeale 59fifty fitted hats and keys rings that has a realistic.

Pedestrian, vehicle and light rail traffic were all shut down in the area to prevent any contact with the power lines. There was no timetable provided for reopening the roads. 

Portland General Electric workers shut off the power lines. A PGE spokesperson said about 240 people were without power in the immediate area. The power was expected to be restored by Tuesday evening.czhbearing,welcome to buy.

Off the Grid brings food trucks to SFO




There’s probably a joke to be made somewhere about the lines at the new food trucks at the San Francisco International Airport being longer than the nearby security lines, but Off the Grid founder Matt Cohen says the primary impetus for the latest installment of his food truck gathering is the approximately 30,000 people that work at SFO. 

“SFO contacted us about wanting to do something as an amenity for their employees that are down there with limited food options,” he says, adding that passengers are obviously welcome to frequent the food trucks,www.czhbearing.com has a large selection of Thrust Bearings including Axial Needle Roller Bearings with Steel Needles.Myvalvecaps offers you the best range of tire valve sale wholeale 59fifty fitted hats and keys rings that has a realistic. too.

Only the first four are scheduled at this point; beyond that, they’ll listen to demand and determine if additional or fewer trucks would be appropriate. 

“Our expectation is that, after the first handful of times, it will grow,” says Cohen.

Lucky for investigators, the entire 20 minute hijack was caught on surveillance camera. Lane says he has four cameras that watch his lot at night, with lights around the property. 

“It’s aggravating, it makes us mad that somebody would do that to us, we never even charge to tow or help people,” said Lane. 

Lane says the donated cars are picked up by the center and given to families with sick kids or sold to help support other programs the auto donation center sponsors. Lane says without that truck he can’t help those in need.

Court Turns Down Challenge to EPA on Greenhouse Gases




A federal appeals court has rejected a legal challenge by Texas and Wyoming to the Environmental Protection Agency's efforts to curb greenhouse gas emissions. 

A three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, in a 2-1 vote on Friday, said the states and various industry groups did not have standing to sue because they could not show that they had suffered an injury or that a ruling throwing out the EPA plan would benefit them. 

The decision comes after the same court upheld the EPA's first wave of greenhouse gas regulations in 2012, and is another win for the EPA, which has a strong track record in the courts in challenges to its rules,high quality auto scanners sale will help read and diagnose automotive problems on OBDI and OBDII compliant vehicles.For more information,click:www.smartobd2s.com particularly those targeting greenhouse gas emissions.gigantexbikes,we have ample experience and professionnel team-work, so we got high-quality products with a competitive price. 

"The states and industry groups trying to block EPA from curbing carbon pollution under the Clean Air Act are on a long losing streak," said David Doniger, climate policy director for the Natural Resources Defense Council. 

Friday's decision concerned a challenge to the EPA's efforts to make states include carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases when they issue permits to industrial facilities setting limits on various types of pollution they emit. 

Under the Clean Air Act, states have a cooperative relationship with the EPA in regulating air pollution. 

Texas and Wyoming objected in part to the tight deadlines the EPA imposed on them for coming up with new regulations to include greenhouse gases. The agency said in December 2010 that it would have to intervene, effectively taking over the issuing of greenhouse gas permits in the affected states, because the states had failed to act.Myvalvecaps offers you the best range of tire valve sale wholeale 59fifty fitted hats and keys rings that has a realistic. 

Texas in particular regularly fights the EPA over regulatory actions. Greg Abbott, the Republican attorney general now running for governor,www.czhbearing.com has a large selection of Thrust Bearings including Axial Needle Roller Bearings with Steel Needles. has been an outspoken critic of the Obama administration and the EPA. 

In Friday's decision, Judge Judith Rogers said the states had failed to show how voiding the rules in question would "redress their purported injuries." 

Without the states updating their permitting programs, "construction of a major emitting facility could not proceed," Rogers said, adding that the Clean Air Act is clear that states have to issue permits "for each pollutant subject to regulation under the act." 

The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality called the ruling "disappointing" and said it will consider future action. 

"The EPA has effectively re-written the Clean Air Act to impose its new standards,globalmetaltins,based on decades of production experience, Global Metal Packaging has built up excellent expertise on a wide range of general metal products to pack processed food and Ready - to - Eat Food, Canned Vegetables, Fruit Pulps, Juices, Pickles and Dairy Products, etc. imposed severely restrictive timelines on the states to implement its new requirements, and then twisted the Act to immediately impose its agenda on Texas," TCEQ Chairman Bryan Shaw said in an emailed statement. 


In a landmark 2007 ruling, the Supreme Court said carbon dioxide was a pollutant that could be regulated under the Clean Air Act. 

Judge Brett Kavanaugh wrote a dissenting opinion to the latest case,carbon-sports are specialized in producing carbon bicycle and cycling parts, tennis and badminton racquets, carbon fiber speed skates and other sports equipment. saying states should have been able to use their old regulatory schemes, which do not take into account greenhouse gases, until they had time to update them. 

In other notable rulings in recent years, the Supreme Court has upheld the EPA's authority to use the Clean Air Act to regulate greenhouse gas emissions in two high-profile cases, while the D.C. Circuit has turned away at least four challenges. 

Frank O'Donnell, president of the non-profit group Clean Air Watch, said Friday's ruling strengthens the hand of the EPA as it starts to implement President Barack Obama's climate action plan. Obama in June directed the agency to write rules to curb carbon emissions from the country's fleet of existing power plants. 

But O'Donnell said Texas and other states opposed to federal environmental regulations are likely to drag their heels when forced to comply with EPA timelines. 

"I predict they will be late filing their plans, due in 2016 under the scenario the president set forth, and will dare the federal government to intervene," O'Donnell said. 

Texas has sued the EPA many times, most recently in a bid to challenge a practice in which environmental groups sue the agency to force it to issue or speed up regulations.

Carbon conundrum




Prime Minister Kevin Rudd recently announced plans to move to a floating carbon price from July 2014, a year sooner than originally scheduled. 

Why do we have a price on carbon? 

The scientific consensus on climate change is that human activity has almost certainly contributed to the increase in average global temperatures over recent decades. Many climate scientists call for urgent action that will significantly reduce greenhouse gas pollution and stave off the worst effects of a warming climate. A carbon price puts a cost on the use of fossil fuels such as coal, petroleum and natural gas, which,Bref, depuis longtemps, j'ai envie d'essayer des roues carbone à boyaux.Je ne sais pas si c'est une bonne solution, mais bon, j'ai envie. when burned, produce the greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide (CO2). 

Implemented in 2012, Australia's so-called carbon tax requires the nation's highest polluting companies to pay the fixed price of $25.40 for every tonne of CO2 they emit. The tax was negotiated as part of a deal to enable the Australian Labor Party (ALP) to form a minority government in 2010. However, because former prime minister Julia Gillard had promised not to introduce one before the 2010 election,high quality auto scanners sale will help read and diagnose automotive problems on OBDI and OBDII compliant vehicles.For more information,click:www.smartobd2s.com the move proved politically damaging to her leadership. 

Mr Rudd stated that the policy was revised to ease cost-of-living pressures for Australian families while still taking action on climate change. However, it will only be legislated if the government is returned at the next election. 

What is an emissions trading scheme? 

An Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) is a method used to control pollution. It was first developed and successfully applied in the United States during the 1990s to reduce sulphur dioxide and nitrous oxide levels that caused acid rain. 

An ETS involves the setting of a cap over which the level of a particular pollutant cannot be exceeded. The cap is set by an authority and the government issues a fixed number of permits, equal to the cap.globalmetaltins,based on decades of production experience, Global Metal Packaging has built up excellent expertise on a wide range of general metal products to pack processed food and Ready - to - Eat Food, Canned Vegetables, Fruit Pulps, Juices, Pickles and Dairy Products, etc. The permits allow companies to emit a specified quantity of the pollutant(s). If a company emits more than its permits allow, it must purchase permits from companies that emit less. In this way, the buyer is charged for polluting more and the seller is rewarded for polluting less. If demand exceeds supply,czhbearing,welcome to buy. the price goes up and vice versa. 

Theoretically, overall targets are achieved by incrementally lowering the emissions cap each year; forcing companies to address their emissions. As the cap is lowered, fewer permits are issued so that, over time, emissions targets are met. 

How will the scheme work in Australia? 

Both the federal government and the opposition aim to reduce CO2 emissions by between 5 and 25 per cent by 2020 (based on 2000 levels).Myvalvecaps offers you the best range of tire valve sale wholeale 59fifty fitted hats and keys rings that has a realistic. With this in mind,www.carbon-sports.cc is a manufacturing and trade Integrated company, we provide Developing, Production and Sales service to our customers. the Climate Change Authority will recommend an emissions cap in February. The government will then issue tradeable permits to around 370 of Australia's highest polluting companies; with fewer to be issued each successive year.
