As you know, Google is constantly changing its SEO algorithm. The only thing that has remained consistent is that adding an explainer video increases website rank and most importantly keeps customers on your page for longer, increasing conversions ratios.

You know, I have lived here in Tyler County all my life. We built our home, raised our family and paid our taxes, yet the first opportunity that the state and local officials have to devaluate our properties, posion our drinking water, pollute our air, and destoy our natural scenery, they are all for it. All for the sake of greed.

Our Governor, Sentators, and all the rest of the elected officals that are invoved in this rape and pillage should hold their heads very low indeed, then every single one of them should be run out of this state. Enough is enough. WAKE UP PEOPLE. Write or call these officals. Tell them how you feel. Call them what they are.

Exhibit at the 10th Annual P3 Competition and Expo

This year, the EPA P3 Competition and National Sustainable Design Expo is co-located with the USA Science and Engineering Festival, April 26-27, at the Washington Convention Center. Exhibit spaces are still available – First come, first serve. Learn more at: http://www.epa.gov/p3

The annual EPA P3 competition begins with Phase I grant awards of $15,000 to student teams that then work on projects in a range of categories including water, energy, agriculture, built environment, and materials and chemicals. After working on the project for eight months, the teams will bring their designs to the 8th Annual National Sustainable Design Expo on the National Mall in Washington, D.C around Earth Day. At the expo, the projects will be judged by a panel of experts. A few teams will be selected for Phase II grants up to $90,000 for students to improve their designs, implement them in the field, or move them to the marketplace.

But The State of WV has sold us all out to these companies, the state just charges them a “Special Fees” to drive these rigs on roads and bridges not built for them and further not allowed by law. I guess it will take a bus load of innocent children being hurt and/or injured by this industry before any sort of regulation is brought into legislation. Just look at the fatalities in 2013 alone.

Would it not be nice that through the hours of 12am – 6am they cannot operate on the smaller roads? At least we might get some “quiet enjoyment”, the reason we live in rural West Virginia! I would challenge any delegate to speak up for regulating this industry, but the very reason they do not is because there is way too much in the way of taxes and fee dollars to loose.
