Today in Labor History July 7, 1931: Construction began on the Hoover dam. 16 workers and camp residents died from heat exhaustion during a single month of construction. Temperatures routinely soared over 110 degrees Fahrenheit. Several strikes led to nominal improvements in working conditions. Thousands of men were employed in the highly segregated project. Only 30 African Americans were allowed to work at any given time and Chinese workers were officially excluded. The Wobblies (IWW) tried to organize the men and sent in 11 organizers who were promptly arrested. Eugene Nelson, a Wobbly hobo, writes about it in his wonderful biographical novel, “Break Their Haughty Power.”

Until #NYC gets those off shore #windTurbines going, New York City or State or the feds should get the cost of electricity down in order to enable #induction ranges. No precedence? Who paid for the #TVA? The #HooverDam?

I can happily scramble up & down cliffs & walk along rim rock all day long in places like Utah's canyon country, but when it comes to human made objects such as bridges, tall buildings, & dams I get vertigo. The only way I could hangover the edge of Boulder Dam for this photo was by keeping my eye glued to the viewfinder. Somehow, looking at the tiny OLED in the viewfinder separates me from the reality.

A thought: Let’s spend less time talking about Elon Musk and a lot more time talking about the #ColoradoRiver.
Everyone should read @ianjames this week on #ClimateChange in the @latimes
“The reservoirs could drop so low that #water would no longer flow past #HooverDam in two years. That dire scenario … would cut off water supplies to California, Arizona and Mexico.”

From last week: Looking towards Lake Mead form the Hoover Dam. The ongoing drought and water management problems at this famous landmark is on stark display, even at night. I distinctly remember a time when this bathtub ring was barely there in the early 2000's.

I found my picture of Hoover Dam when we visited there in 2011.
