[Vision2020] Megaload madness

[Jay Borden]

Huh... I'd be curious what the reaction would be if a megaload
materialized that was 200,000 pounds, 14 feet wide, and was filled to
the brim with rabid liberal protesters on their way to Canada to voice
their displeasure.

 

Would THAT also get a NIMBY response?

	Wait... wait... previously people were up in arms because the
"megaloads" carried the "BIG OIL" moniker, and thus was the scapegoat
for everything from environmental destruction and corporate greed to
male-pattern baldness.

	 

	But, (not knowing anything else about this load, other than the
text printed here)... THIS megaload is for a "high-efficiency evaporator
plant that is designed to reduce greenhouse gases and generate
electricity from steam"... 

	 

	???

	These megaloads are multiplying like bunny rabbits. . . . and it
looks like it's not just "big oil" anymore.  See what happens. . . . you
give 'em an inch and the next thing you know. . . .
	 
	Well, we saw it coming, didn't we?

	 

	BOISE - A transport company will ship two over-legal loads
eastbound on U.S. 12 for Weyerhaeuser next week, the Idaho
Transportation Department announced.

	Nickel Bros will haul equipment from the Port of Wilma in
Clarkston, Washington, to a Weyerhaeuser pulp mill in Grande Prairie,
Alberta, Canada. The equipment is for a high-efficiency evaporator plant
that is designed to reduce greenhouse gases and generate electricity
from steam.
	The first load will enter on Idaho 128 from the Port of Wilma at
about 5:30 a.m. on Monday, August 29, connect with U.S. 12 and continue
eastbound to Montana. The load is 17.7 feet high, 14 feet wide and 118
feet long, and weighs 200,478 pounds.
	Traffic delays are not anticipated, and the shipment will travel
during daylight hours. It is scheduled to take one day to travel from
the Port of Wilma to the Idaho/Montana state line. The transport will be
accompanied by two pilot vehicles in the front of the shipment and one
behind it.
	The second shipment is scheduled to arrive in Idaho north of
Lewiston on Tuesday, August 30, shortly after 3 a.m. It also will enter
on Idaho 128 from Washington, connect with U.S. 12 and continue to the
Idaho-Montana state line.
	The second load is 19 feet high, 14.6 feet wide and 234 feet
long, and weighs 433,282 pounds. Because of its length, there may be
traffic delays while the shipment navigates corners on the highway.
Delays will be limited to 15 minutes or less. It also is scheduled to
take one day to travel to the Idaho/Montana state line.

	P.S.  We all might need a midnight snack and The Pie Hole has
some pretty good pizza by the slice.   : )
