Experts are looking at building runways out of materials that don't freeze? I would suggest they consider the following materials...

Lava
Mercury
Strontium 90
Whale blubber
Live Kittens

Of course they will need to figure out a way for aircraft to stop on those materials.

The slacker reporter says nobody ever studied the cost to heat an airport's runways? I'll do it for free using numbers provided by "Doctor Silverstein, the Chappequa Headache Doctor" in the same article.

His 7000 square foot driveway cost $25,000 to install and runs around $800.00 per 24 hours. JF'nK has 7,784,850 square feet of runway. Using the same cost structure, we're looking at $280 million to install and $890,000.00 in electricity for every day it's turned on. Or accidentally left on.

I haven't added in the cost of runway shutdowns, union labor, or buying off the environmentalists and global warming scammers.

One airport, quarter billion to install and a million per day to run it. Seems legit.

The Southwest guys thought you said "Hush Kitten" instead of "Hush Kitting"

200 of them just showed up with sledgehammers and trash bags.

All that and you know what? They still haven't "Solved the Problem" that causes delays in snow storms, and that is to De-Ice the AIRPLANES!!

It's not the runway that is the problem!

When the De Ice crews don't show up because the roads leading to the airport are impassable, and the airplanes are covered with an inch of ice, no runway, no matter the cost, will be used.

Solution, heated tires for employee's cars.

I listen to a lot of music, and I've never heard a song from that dude. Saw a video at the gym, looked like it was a remake of a 90s music video, but how in the heck does he earn enough to buy an $11M home.

And thankfully, glad it ain't around me!

Too Funny! I can only hope he bought the house next to Ed's!

What the heck, I'll buy the eggs!

I think he and Miley Cyrus are the same person. Think about it, have you ever seen them together?

No?

Why not?

Because Miley is really Justin, in drag!
