Over the past five years, the U.S. went from depending on fuel from Europe to being an exporter to the region. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, Nigeria ships fewer than three supertankers of crude each month, where in the recent past it numbered closer to a dozen. The West Coast will soon cut back on imports of oil from Saudi Arabia and Venezuela, replacing it with cheaper oil from the Rocky Mountains where output has grown by 31 percent since 2011.
With North American exports of gasoline and other refined products hitting a record last month, the U.S. is on pace to become the world’s largest oil producer by 2015. Drilling in the Permian Basin in West Texas and the oil-rich Bakken shale, which stretches from North Dakota into Montana and Canada, has led the boom. Texas, pumping more than Iran, has more than doubled its crude output since 2011, along with North Dakota.
Growing North American production will help the United States begin to meet its own energy demands, leading it to cut back on imports that will instead flow to emerging markets. This will inevitably lead to the shifting of the economic and political realities of the World as a whole.
K & L Clutch and Transmission stands to assist in the industrial challenges that are equally inevitable, as new technologies and proven technologies are applied together to meet the challenges that present themselves, both domestically and abroad.

Before the 2013 NFL season begins Cowboys Stadium will be starting fresh on some new turf. The NFL has approved the first half of the field. Currently they are laying out the rest of the new turf and should be ready for the Gold Cup Soccer event on the 24th. Seeing the crew work the second half marking the sections, stitching the Velcro, laying out the rubber absorber pellets, laying boards with bricks out to help the carpet lay flat was a very interesting procedure.
The Texas ClutchFootball is now in the clutches of our female fans! That is right; a KDVR reporter tested pro stadium security in Denver… For the second year in a row, she and a colleague were able to sneak in a real pistol (but with a concealed weapons permit) and a fake gun at stadiums. This year they are cracking down on security risks in the NFL and have mandated a bag size be no larger than a clutch. For all you boys out there that means your satchel, “murse”(man purse), hand-bag, coach, luey viton, CK, duney and burke and blah-blah-blah can not be any bigger than 8.5 by 5.5 inches. But if you must carry more than that, you could bring your designer 1 gallon Ziploc, Glad Lock bag or Hefty bag. The NFL has an approved clear 12 by 12 by 6 inch bag that is for sale, making it the largest way to bring in your stuff. Many season tickets holders and suite owners will be receiving these. Notice, if you try to enter the Cowboys Stadium with anything other than a Cowboys or NFL bag you will not be let in… without possibly being teased about it, fans can be so competitive. On top of that, no more camera bags, backpacks, coolers, fanny packs, binocular cases or Mary Poppins bags. Cowboys Stadium will continue to prohibit food, drinks, drugs, weapons, umbrellas, noise makers, laser pointers and opponents touchdowns from entering. Enjoy the Game!
There are many advantages to using heavy machinery. In the modern world, we are coming to depend more and more on things like heavy duty transmissions and other industrial machinery. Let’s look at some of the top reasons why so many people appreciate this type of technology.
There is no question that industrial machinery makes many tasks faster and more efficient. The same job that might take days or several people to accomplish can be done in hours or even minutes using the right equipment. Whether they are being used for business or leisure activities, this type of machinery allows you to be far more productive in many ways.
Because they allow you to accomplish so much more in less time, these devices save you money. There is the initial cost of purchasing them and then they must be properly maintained, however, with the right care, they save money in terms of time and labor costs. This helps businesses earn higher profits.
Operating heavy machinery is far less taxing on the human body than using other types of tools. Aside from the economic benefits, people with access to this type of machinery don’t have to work as hard physically. This translates into shorter workdays and more leisure time.
One of the reasons we all love heavy duty machines is that they embody the potential to accomplish amazing feats of construction, excavation and demolition that have never before been possible. Manpower has been used to accomplish great feats, including the construction of the Pyramids and the Great Wall of China, but modern technology allows massive undertakings in rapid time.
Many people appreciate this type of machinery simply for its power and aesthetic qualities, in addition to the many practical benefits it can add to your life. This is why many people enjoy trade shows that feature such equipment or browsing through magazines, product catalogs or websites that feature it.
The above are some of the top reasons why heavy machinery is so widely admired. It can be advantageous to everyone, from workers to business owners. If you are looking for repair work, or new clutch or transmission parts for your heavy machinery, look no further!
