The UP would probably be as NIMBY about Disney
World as it is about a Space Port. Here's hoping
that the Florida state government values both its
theme parks and space ports. The weather there
is nice for both of those. The New Yorker references
Nancy Langston. Her books are book club fare in the
UP.

Methanol as a fuel additive may improve octane
but tends to increase nitrogen oxide emissions.

DDT is something of a "forever chemical".
Its use, if at all, should be carefully balanced
against its projected environmental and health
effects for populations that have close contact
with the environments that it would be put into.
It says something that a researcher investigating
DDT in Africa mentions that there is an ongoing
shift to the use of neonicotinoids instead of DDT.
Those have their hazards as well - they are
implicated in the decline of pollinator populations.

Most of those rockets they are sending up are carrying satellites that provide GPS that the EVs,aircraft needs,It actually may be good for the state in the diversity aspect,hundreds of millions flowing through the state cannot be that bad.

The rocket launches at the cape have little impact on anything else.

Screw Reedy Creek and Disney,it is the only private business in the United States that operates as an independent government within itself.

They brought in foreign IT workers at a cheaper rate,made the existing IT people train them,then they fired them.

When they first started buying property to build it,there was a community of about 60 homes,Disney had the bank call the note on all of those property owners and they were kicked out of their homes without compensation,the remains of those homes are still on the property.

They can do or build whatever they want in their property with zero permits or regulations,you or I try that and we would be in jail.

The only way they supported public transportation was if it only ran from the airport to their property with no stops in between and expected everybody else donate their land to them.

They use their workforce as a political tool in a way that makes the unions look like child’s play,while they exploit foreign summer workers that have zero recourse.

They are just another example of a corporation dictating to the public,but exempts themselves from what they pretend they stand for.

They run 1000s of vehicles,ever here them say they are switching to EVs? They will say they are but will not do it,they do not even have to comply with any pollution regulations.

They are like a separate country within the U.S..
