| Is it possible to pick up all the old junky | | | | is really not what it use to be. Many in the |
| cars in backyards across America and recycle | | | | timber business are out of work and have |
| them? Car we use these materials to make new | | | | equipment sitting idle, big logging trucks; |
| cars? Many believe this is possible. Argonne | | | | why not recycle some of this old junk.The guy |
| Labs in Illinois has discovered was to use | | | | I met had to go and I never got his name, but |
| the foam behind dashboards and recycle it. | | | | his idea is duly registered here in this |
| Other studies are finding ways to re-use | | | | article, who ever he is?In this country we |
| nearly every part of the car. Can it be | | | | have Salt Mines, Uranium Mines, Zinc, Lead, |
| possible to clean up America and remove all | | | | Molybdenum, Iron Ore, Copper, Silver, Gold, |
| the rust buckets that are decaying, cars that | | | | Aluminum, etc. We are making it tough on |
| will never be used for anything again; never | | | | mines to operate in this country and we are |
| to be restored?Met an interesting man the | | | | losing our industrial capacity to other |
| other day in a coffee shop. He was in the | | | | nations, which further offsets our trade |
| building materials business and traveled | | | | deficits. We should be increasing our mining |
| quite a bit and needed a Frappachino; hot | | | | efforts and exporting raw materials not |
| day. He was telling me his son is in college | | | | importing them. We also ought to mine some of |
| in Washington State and he could not believe | | | | our civilizations waste while we are at it. |
| all the farmers and folks who had old cars | | | | Some of what we ought to be mining is old |
| rusting away. His idea is that someone who | | | | computers, refuse and disposed of |
| was industrious ought to get a huge flat bed | | | | automobiles. Gosh you drive through the South |
| truck offer the land owner to pick up this | | | | and every Jerry Springer future guest star |
| old debris by the pound, as they pick it up | | | | has five cars sitting out front with the high |
| weigh it and then cut the guy a check and | | | | grass camouflaging them. Europeans have an |
| everyone is happy.One has to applaud such | | | | interesting idea; .How about all those tires? |
| rational thinking and simplicity; a good | | | | We should be mining those too. We should be |
| business for someone as well. Now since being | | | | finding ways to mine better and when we can |
| familiar with the area in Washington he was | | | | figure out ways to re-use and mine old |
| describing; why not use some of those old | | | | vehicles, which is the best for all |
| logging trucks which have the loader right | | | | concerned. We must keep our mines running, it |
| behind the cab of the truck and then get a | | | | employs lots of people and provides local raw |
| large tractor trailer dump truck bed and just | | | | materials, thus saving the expense of |
| do it? After all the trucks are not being | | | | overseas shipping and if we are careful to |
| used and for sale everywhere because logging | | | | mitigate the issues of environment along with |
| from Aberdene going west towards Montana and | | | | the need for efficiencies, we should be able |
| South to California or North to Port Angeles | | | | to slow the flow of the growing deficit. |
