we are buying time
go back to sleep, my friend
I will wake you up when gasoline is $3/gallon
and your monthly electric bill is well past $100

if you arent aware that the economic slowdown has relieved current pressure on California power, then you might be sleepwalking through most daze

we as a nation had a warning in 1973
we heeded it for two years
in 1995-1998 we thumbed our noses with SUV vehicles

by 2004 a far different tune will be played
the easiest double and triple you can find now are

CHK and other natural gas field owners
with 80% of all new electrical generator plants planned to run on methane, look for methane to be the first pressure point

Tax Refund Checks Arriving Soon

Thursday July 19

WASHINGTON (AP) - The first batch of tax refund checks will be in the mail Friday, the IRS says.

Taxpayers whose Social Security (news - web sites) numbers end in the digits 00-09 will likely begin receiving the checks next week. The mailings will continue each week through the end of September, when people whose Social Security numbers end in 90-99 should receive their checks.

The checks of up to $300 for individuals, $500 for heads of households and $600 for married couples filing jointly represent part of the 10-year, $1.35 trillion tax cut passed by Congress and signed by President Bush (news - web sites) last month.

The Internal Revenue Service (news - web sites) estimates that about 8 million checks worth a combined total of $3.4 billion will go out in this first wave. In all, the IRS expects to return about $39 billion to taxpayers through 91.6 million checks.

Earlier this week, the IRS mailed separate letters to taxpayers detailing the amount of their checks and, in some cases, why they wouldn't get one. People who were claimed as dependents on someone else's 2000 return, to cite one example, are not eligible for a check.
