I believe you are referencing my last statement about our allocation of funds towards education and yes I agree with you

I am and it's true, as we always hear how good our K-12 education rates against other states.
I can remember the first time we checked out the MCVSD schools with our older Son where I ended up saying to my Wife..."this is money (our taxes) well spent."

Which time lol? There were big increases throughout that period.
Generally gas prices go up when more people drive, eg the summer, or when there's not lockdown and things are open, like now. That is supply and demand.
But who knows when the gas companies get 3% of their gas from Russia and think now is their time to take a pound of flesh what they will do. They're betting on a lot of people sitting on cash reserves from spending less for two years.
2008.
The year you quoted.
Do you think it will go back down to below $2 like then? I don’t.
Not anytime soon, no. But all kinds of crazy stuff can happen that can affect the price of gas at the pump. So I wouldn’t rule it out entirely.
So you think by Thanksgiving or Christmas we could be back below $2 bucks?
It would be great.

08 was the peak but I remember it being bad 05-07 as well. 08 just surpassed those numbers.
Anything could happen, if China keeps shutting down like they are now it's absolutely possible.
Billions every year in subsidies for companies that make profits in the billions.
Anybody who thinks fuel is going back to a reasonable cost anytime soon probably took economics classes with AOC @ BU.
Are those State's energy bills lower or higher since these wind farms went in?
Bring 'em on & get rid of the polluting, climate warming fossil fuels!!!
Nuclear on the rebound
All the "green" stuff is pushed by China and Russia to stoke psychotics and cripple US
Its failed when tried and could never replace oil/nuclear

Tech Billionaires Rally Around Nuclear as Energy Crisis Looms

Which school do he go to, if you don’t mind me asking? My older brother was in one of the first classes at Communications. The valedictorian is my elementary school class went to MAST, which led to her admission into Annapolis. I know another guy they went to Allied Health and he ended up pitching at West Point. They’re all great.
and ironically they are the ones voting for these idiots and their policies so how can you feel sorry for them? Wait until these windmills double and triple their electric bills and add in the idea that Murphy wants everyone to heat their home with electricity instead of oil or gas. They'll be paying 100% of their income for electricity.
Currently, 75% of New Jersey homes are heated by natural gas. Governor Murphy’s plan to fully electrify New Jersey would require all of those homes to switch to electric heat at a significant expense to homeowners.

Because they believe in America last. If you are going to do it, at least do it with American companies, not Danish
Do the public contracts get awarded based on a competitive bidding process?
Yes
The companythat is buidling this
Yes but there are many considerations they take into account such as experience in doing a project like this. Its all about how the RFP is written. It can be tailored so that the preferred bidder wins the bid.

I used to write RFP’s for Treasury. I know how it works.
Targeting a specific company to win the bid does not happen frequently
For one thing politicians do not put their hands on the process as happened back 40 years ago and secondly other competitors are more than happy to challenge the process and make the State defend the award.
The new education funds allocation formula has greatly impacted allocation of state funds to schools, with some inequitable results. Some real puzzling results:
For example:
"Red Bank Borough and Rumson-Fair Haven Regional High School districts would see double-digit percentage increases of 21% and 17% respectively."
"Among the biggest hits will be to Asbury Park schools, which saw an $8.6 million cutback to $29.2 million, or a 22.73% reduction. In neighboring Neptune, the impact is also severe, with the district set to receive $16.9 million, or $5.4 million less than last year. That is a 24.4% drop."
of course they will see the biggest cutbacks, because they were getting the most per student. I think at one time AP was averaging almost 30K per student
Many districts received more than they were supposed to for years. What they are calling cuts were just being brought to the correct amount
For years Toms River received more than they were supposed to while Woodbridge received less. That was being corrected
None of them. Liked but didn't love.
I was most impressed with the kids at Allied during their open house as they ran the whole thing while my Wife, a physics teacher, loved BioTech.
Me two.
As you know, I have a kid who went to each of said schools, and both are doing at their respective colleges.
I've mentioned this before, but it was interesting to see how many of the kids from these schools who were going to Rutgers at the time we were checking them out (2012-2014). Not just accepted but actually enrolling.
A lot more than I would have thought. A lot more.

Me neither. That was something my brother was into. I checked out Communications. It was really cool but I wasn’t sold on doing anything communications related. I’ve heard great things about BioTech. These vocational schools are great if your kid knows what they want to do with their life.
This.
About time this huge untapped energy source was opened up.
It’s amazing anyone types this easily debunked nonsense about birds without being embarrassed or realizing it discredits anything else they try to say.
Factor in low oil prices from 2014 onwards and you had hundreds of bankruptcies and consolidation of upstream assets. The surviving E and P companies are perfectly fine with high prices and have no incentive to rush more projection to mark
Over 100 oil and gas companies went bankrupt in 2020
More than 100 oil and gas companies declared bankruptcy in 2020 after the coronavirus pandemic plunged the energy sector into the worst downturn in a generation.
