Better way

Yes, cast iron pans are excellent for cooking chicken in the oven, offering superior heat retention for crispy skin and juicy, evenly cooked meat. Common options include traditional cast-iron skillets (like 12-inch Lodge pans (https://www.americastestkitchen.com/recipes/10530-cast-iron-baked-chicken)), cast-iron casserole dishes, and Dutch ovens. They work best by searing on the stovetop, then transferring directly to the oven. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]  
Why Use Cast Iron for Chicken 

• Crispy Skin & Even Cooking: The material heats up significantly, providing a, intense, even, and consistent heat perfect for browning. 
• Stove-to-Oven Convenience: You can sear chicken breasts, thighs, or a whole bird on the stovetop to brown the skin, then move it immediately to the oven for finished roasting. 
• Versatility: Ideal for roasting whole chickens, baking chicken thighs, or making pan sauces from drippings. 
• Ideal Sizes: 10 to 12-inch skillets are ideal for parts, while larger 5-7 quart cast iron Dutch ovens work well for whole chickens. [1, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]  

Tips for Success 

• Preheat the Pan: Preheating the skillet in the oven helps achieve maximum crispiness. 
• Safety: The entire pan becomes very hot, including the handle, so always use thick oven mitts. 
• Care: Avoid using soap, and let the pan cool down naturally rather than putting it in water immediately. [1, 3, 10]

Taxes

A writ of mandamus is an extraordinary court order directing a government official, agency, or lower court to perform a mandatory, non-discretionary duty they have failed or refused to do. It acts as a remedy of last resort to compel legal action rather than to decide how a decision should be made. [1]  
Purpose and Function 

• Compel Action: It forces public officials or lower courts to fulfill duties required by law. 
• Correct Inaction: It is used when officials neglect to perform required duties, such as unreasonable delays in processing applications. 
• Last Resort: It is generally only available when no other adequate, legal remedies exist. [2]  

Key Requirements for Obtaining a WritTo successfully petition for a writ of mandamus, you typically must demonstrate: 

1. Clear Legal Duty: The defendant has a mandatory, nondiscretionary, and ministerial duty to act. 
2. No Alternative Remedy: There is no other adequate remedy available to address the inaction. 
3. Significant Delay/Refusal: The official or agency has failed to perform the action within a reasonable timeframe. [2]  

Role in Specific Legal Contexts 

• Immigration Law: A, YouTube video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yBnVkd1F9gY) and Capitol Law Partners article explain that a writ is frequently filed in U.S. federal courts to compel USCIS or the Department of State to act on cases facing "excessive" or unreasonable delays. It does not guarantee approval, only action. 
• Constitutional/Administrative Law: It ensures that government agencies and officials, including lower courts, do not abuse their discretion or fail to act within their legal authority. [2]  

How it Works 

• Process: A petitioner files a lawsuit in a federal or state court, which then serves the respondent (the official/agency). 
• Outcome: The court may order a hearing and, if granted, command the action to be taken. 
• Limitations: It cannot be used to force a specific discretionary outcome, only to force the performance of a mandatory duty. [2, 4, 5, 6]  

Disclaimer: Procedures and requirements can vary significantly by jurisdiction.

​**Proposed Manufacturing Facility Could Bring 150 High-Wage Jobs and $110 Million in Annual Sales to Topeka**



Topeka, KS – February 11, 2026 — A potential new manufacturing operation in Topeka is generating early buzz in local economic development circles, with a proposal for a 125,000-square-foot facility featuring 35-foot ceilings, preferably located near rail access.

The project, represented by Henry McClure of MCRE, LLC, and the Henry McClure Collective, targets the creation of 150 new jobs with starting wages of $42 per hour — well above the regional average for manufacturing roles. The facility would focus on panel production and a cabinet shop, projecting $100 million in annual sales from the panel side and an additional $10 million from the cabinet operations, for a combined $110 million in yearly revenue.

The proposal was outlined in a recent letter to Leigha Boling, the City of Topeka's Director of Economic Development. Boling, who assumed the role earlier this year after serving as Procurement Director, oversees initiatives to attract and support business growth in the capital city.

If realized, the project aligns with Topeka's ongoing push to bolster its manufacturing sector. Recent expansions — such as HF Rubber's addition of 19 jobs with a projected $71 million regional impact, PTMW Inc.'s creation of nearly 200 positions and $1.3 billion over 10 years, and other investments in facilities like Haas Metal Engineering — highlight the area's appeal for industrial projects. Statewide, Kansas continues to emphasize advanced manufacturing through incentives like the Promoting Employment Across Kansas (PEAK) program, which allows qualifying businesses to retain significant portions of payroll withholding taxes for new jobs.

Estimated Economic Boost for Topeka  
Preliminary analysis suggests strong potential returns:

- Direct Payroll: Approximately $13.1 million annually (based on 150 jobs at $42/hour full-time equivalent).  
- Total Economic Output: Using conservative multipliers common in Kansas manufacturing studies (2.5–3.7x), the $110 million in sales could generate $275–$410 million in broader regional activity each year through supply chains, vendor spending, and employee respending.  
- Job Multiplier Effect: Direct jobs often support 1–5 additional indirect/induced positions in retail, services, and logistics — potentially pushing total employment impact to 450–900 jobs.  
- Tax Revenues: A facility valued around $18–20 million (at typical industrial construction costs) could contribute roughly $600,000–$700,000 annually in property taxes under current Shawnee County and Topeka mill levies (city portion ~37–38 mills). Additional sales tax from increased local spending could add $500,000+ yearly, with the city's share in the low six figures.

Topeka and Shawnee County's Joint Economic Development Organization (JEDO) frequently approves performance-based incentives for projects that meet job creation and investment thresholds. While no incentives have been requested or discussed publicly for this proposal yet, similar deals have offered support for workforce training, property improvements, and job creation milestones.

The preference for rail-adjacent sites underscores the importance of logistics in modern manufacturing, potentially tying into Topeka's existing rail infrastructure advantages.

Details remain preliminary, and the project would require site selection, permitting, and possible incentives through GO Topeka and JEDO. If it moves forward, it could represent one of the larger job-creating manufacturing announcements in the region in recent years, adding high-paying roles and substantial economic ripple effects to the community.

For more information on economic development opportunities in Topeka, visit the City of Topeka or GO Topeka websites. Updates on this proposal will be monitored as discussions progress.

### Financial Impact Assessment for Topeka

Based on the details in your proposal letter (a 125,000 sq ft manufacturing facility creating 150 jobs at $42/hour starting wages, with $110 million in combined annual sales from panel and cabinet operations), I'll outline the estimated financial impact on Topeka. This includes direct effects (e.g., wages and property taxes), indirect/induced effects (e.g., supply chain spending and employee consumption), and broader economic contributions. Estimates use conservative multipliers derived from Kansas-specific data on manufacturing (e.g., output multipliers of 2.5–3.74, employment multipliers implying 3–6 total jobs per direct job, and income multipliers around 1.5–2). Assumptions include annual figures, a building construction cost of ~$150/sq ft (leading to a $18.75 million valuation), and no major city incentives offsetting revenues unless specified.

#### 1. **Direct Economic Contributions**
   - **Job Creation and Payroll**: 150 jobs at $42/hour equate to ~$87,360 annual salary per employee (assuming 40 hours/week, 52 weeks). Total annual payroll: **$13.1 million**.
     - This injects money directly into the local economy via worker spending on housing, goods, and services.
   - **Output/Sales**: $110 million in annual sales (assuming ongoing operations). This represents direct revenue generation, much of which could support local suppliers if the facility sources materials in Kansas.
   - **Property Taxes**: With a building valuation of ~$18.75 million, annual property taxes are estimated at **$662,000** (based on Topeka's total mill levy of ~141.35 mills, a 25% commercial assessment ratio, and an effective rate of ~3.53% on market value).
     - City's share (~26% of total, based on city's 36.956 mill levy portion): **$172,000 annually**.
     - Other shares: County (~35%, $231,000), schools (~33%, $218,000), and minor portions to state/library.

#### 2. **Indirect and Induced Economic Effects**
   Using Kansas manufacturing multipliers (e.g., every $1 in manufacturing output adds $1.50–$2.74 to the economy; each direct job supports 2–6 additional jobs via supply chains and spending):
   - **Total Employment Impact**: Direct 150 jobs could support **300–750 additional jobs** (total: 450–900), including suppliers, retailers, and services. Conservative estimate: **450 total jobs**.
   - **Total Economic Output Impact**: Applying a 2.5–3.74 output multiplier to $110 million in sales yields **$275–$411 million** in annual economic activity. This includes ripple effects like local vendor contracts and employee respending.
   - **Income Impact**: Payroll of $13.1 million, with a 1.5–2 income multiplier, generates **$19.7–$26.2 million** in total household income (including induced effects).

#### 3. **Tax Revenue Impacts to Topeka**
   - **Sales Tax Revenue**: Increased local spending from wages and operations.
     - Assume ~30% of total income ($19.7–$26.2 million) is spent on taxable goods locally (~$5.9–$7.9 million in taxable sales).
     - At Topeka's 9.35% combined sales tax rate: **$551,000–$738,000** total annual sales tax.
     - City's share (1.5% portion): **$89,000–$118,000 annually**.
   - **Other Taxes**:
     - State income taxes from wages (~4.5% average effective rate on $13.1 million payroll): **$590,000**, but this benefits the state, not directly the city (though state aid could indirectly flow back).
     - Potential utility franchise fees or other minor revenues: ~$50,000–$100,000 if the facility uses city services.
   - **Net Annual Tax Revenue to City**: **$261,000–$390,000** (primarily from property and sales taxes). This could grow if operations expand or if railhead access boosts logistics-related activity.

#### 4. **Broader Fiscal and Community Impacts**
   - **Positive Multipliers**: The facility could stimulate ~$275–$411 million in annual economic output, boosting GDP contributions (manufacturing is 14.5% of Kansas GDP). This aligns with recent Kansas examples, like a rubber company expansion generating $71 million in regional impact.
   - **Costs to City**: Potential upfront incentives (e.g., land, infrastructure, or tax abatements) could reduce net gains initially. If the city invests ~$2–5 million in site prep (similar to other KS projects), ROI could exceed 10x over 20 years via taxes and growth.
   - **Long-Term Benefits**: Over 10 years, cumulative impact could reach **$2.75–$4.1 billion** in economic output, with **$2.6–$3.9 million** in city revenues. This supports schools, infrastructure, and reduces unemployment (current KS manufacturing growth: 2.4%).
   - **Risks**: If sales are mostly out-of-state, local tax capture drops. Inflation or supply chain issues could raise building costs (current range: $100–$238/sq ft for industrial).

This is a high-level estimate; a full IMPLAN analysis (used in KS economic studies) would refine it based on specifics like industry type (e.g., wood products). If you provide more details (e.g., exact building costs or incentives), I can refine further.

Money or not

Natural hydrogen wells (or "white" hydrogen) involve drilling to extract naturally occurring hydrogen gas trapped in underground geological formations, often produced by water-rock reactions (serpentinization). While potentially a massive, renewable energy source, current exploration faces high risks of dry wells, technical challenges with material corrosion (hydrogen embrittlement), and lack of commercial-scale extraction, with most findings still in experimental or early development stages. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]  
Key Aspects of Natural Hydrogen Wells 

• The Process: Natural hydrogen is produced through geothermal processes—principally the interaction of water with iron-rich minerals—generating hydrogen that rises and accumulates in reservoirs. 
• Current State & Locations: As of early 2025, commercial-scale extraction is non-existent, though active exploration is occurring in the US, France, and Albania. The world's only known actively produced,, localized natural hydrogen well is in Bourakébougou, Mali, providing power to a local village. 
• Exploration and Economics: While estimates suggest 5.6 trillion metric tons of hydrogen exist underground, accessing it is expensive and risky. Many wells may produce only trace amounts. 
• Technical Challenges: Hydrogen embrittlement, where hydrogen causes steel casing and cement to become brittle, poses a high risk of leakage and failure. 
• Potential Advantages: 

 • Renewable Source: Unlike oil, natural hydrogen forms on a human-relevant timescale, not just geological epochs. 
 • Low Carbon: It provides a zero-carbon emission fuel source. 
 • Geothermal Co-benefits: Wells can potentially tap into both hydrogen and geothermal energy simultaneously. [1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8]  

Hydrogen in Depleted Oil WellsSome companies are exploring "gold" hydrogen, which involves treating abandoned, depleted oil wells with microbes to turn residual hydrocarbons into hydrogen, with successful initial tests suggesting a potential $1/kg production cost. [9]  
Storage and InfrastructureWhile 90% of current gas storage is in porous media, hydrogen is currently stored only at a small scale, with salt caverns being the primary storage method being developed in Texas and Utah. [10]

CID

**Wanamaker Hills CID** refers to the **Wanamaker Hills Community Improvement District** (CID) in **Topeka, Kansas** (Shawnee County).

This is a special taxing district established to support redevelopment and improvements at the **Wanamaker Hills Shopping Center**, located along SW Wanamaker Road (around 1700-1900 SW Wanamaker Rd, near 17th Street).

Key details:
- The CID was created around 2019 to help fund renovations of the former K-Mart anchored shopping center.
- It imposes an additional 1% (one penny) sales tax on purchases made within the district, which helps finance infrastructure, redevelopment, and related projects.
- As of recent updates (e.g., effective April 2023), the combined sales tax rate in the Topeka Wanamaker Hills CID area is **10.35%**.
- The redevelopment transformed the site into a modern retail center with national chains like Ulta, Old Navy, DSW, Five Below, Petco, Burlington, and more recent additions such as Rally House, Kansas Sampler, Skechers, and others planned or opening.

The official project map for the CID boundaries is available from the City of Topeka: [Wanamaker Hills CID Project Map](https://cot-wp-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/finance/WanamakerHillCIDprojectmap.pdf).

It's a retail-focused area with strong visibility on a major corridor in Topeka. No direct connection appears to exist in Colorado (e.g., Denver area) based on available information—searches for Colorado links point to unrelated historical references or no matches for a similar CID or development. If this relates to something specific in Denver or you're referring to a different "Wanamaker Hills," feel free to provide more context!

Bantleon

Clifford Augustus Bantleon was born on October 2, 1892, in Kansas City, Wyandotte County, Kansas, to father Henry Augustus Bantleon. He served in the U.S. Army during World War I, participating in the Reserve Officers Training Camp at Fort Riley, Kansas, as part of the 1st Company, 14th Provisional Training Regiment from May 15 to August 17, 1917. He achieved the rank of 1st Lieutenant in the 42nd Infantry Division, and an officer's whistle he used during that time is now held in the collection of the Frontier Army Museum. In 1919, he attended the diocesan convention at Grace Cathedral.

He married Mary, and together they had daughters Virginia (born January 26, 1921, in Kansas City, Kansas; died June 20, 2013) and Marianna. Family photos and stories depict the couple enjoying fishing trips. Clifford passed away in 1978 at the age of 85 or 86.

The provided overview on the future of **hydrogen wells**—focusing on **white hydrogen** (naturally occurring geologic hydrogen) and **gold hydrogen** (stimulated or engineered production from underground reactions)—aligns well with current expert discussions and emerging developments as of early 2026. This shift is gaining traction as a potentially transformative, low-cost path to clean hydrogen, contrasting with more expensive electrolysis-based green hydrogen or fossil-derived gray hydrogen.

### The Shift to Geologic (White) and Stimulated (Gold) Hydrogen
White hydrogen involves drilling into natural subsurface accumulations formed through geochemical processes like serpentinization (water reacting with iron-rich rocks such as olivine) or radiolysis. USGS assessments indicate vast potential resources—potentially enough recoverable hydrogen to meet global demand for hundreds or even thousands of years under conservative estimates—though much may be inaccessible due to depth, location, or dispersion. Only one commercial-scale operation exists (Bourakébougou in Mali, powering a village at ~$0.50/kg), but exploration has surged, with dozens of companies active globally.

Gold hydrogen (stimulated) enhances natural generation by injecting fluids (e.g., water or proprietary solutions) into iron-rich formations to accelerate reactions, akin to engineered geothermal systems. This offers more predictable, scalable production near demand centers. Startups like Vema Hydrogen (piloting in Quebec and planning U.S. sites) and others target controlled outputs.

Both leverage oil & gas expertise for drilling, completion, and operations, minimizing workforce retraining. Recent estimates confirm low costs: natural geologic hydrogen at ~$0.50–$0.54/kg, stimulated at ~$0.90–$1/kg under optimal conditions—far below current green hydrogen (~$3–$7/kg unsubsidized) and competitive with gray hydrogen.

(Example visualization of geologic hydrogen formation processes in subsurface rock layers.)

### Strategic and Technical Challenges
Your points on challenges are accurate and well-supported:

- **Well Integrity**: Hydrogen causes **embrittlement** in steels (reducing strength and promoting cracking) and can degrade cement seals or elastomers via permeation, reactions, or rapid decompression. Specialized materials (e.g., resistant alloys, advanced cements) and monitoring are essential to prevent leaks or failures.
- **Safety Protocols**: High flammability, wide flammability range, low ignition energy, and invisibility (no odor/color) demand advanced detection, venting, and blowout prevention—stricter than natural gas. Subsurface risks include unintended emissions (hydrogen is an indirect greenhouse gas via atmospheric reactions).
- **Location Constraints**: Deposits are scattered (e.g., France's large estimated reserves, Australia, U.S. Midwest/Plains, Mali), favoring localized use or short-haul transport over massive pipelines. Co-location with industrial hubs (e.g., Midwest for refining/steel) helps.

Exploration activity has grown rapidly—over 40–60 companies by 2025–2026, with investments in the billions—spanning the U.S., Australia, France, Spain, and more. Recent finds and pilots (e.g., high-purity extractions in Australia, U.S. wells in Nebraska/Kansas) validate potential.

### Key Drivers and Outlook
DOE, USGS, and global funding continue to advance mapping, modeling, and pilots. If challenges are addressed, white/gold hydrogen could scale significantly by 2030–2050, providing low-carbon baseload for power, industry, and transport. Market projections show strong growth (e.g., white hydrogen market estimates rising sharply through 2035), though it's still early-stage with no widespread commercial reserves yet. Optimistic forecasts suggest it could rival or exceed other hydrogen types in the mix within 15 years, especially if costs stay below $1/kg.

Overall, your breakdown is a solid, forward-looking summary with only minor caveats: the field remains exploratory (hype vs. proven reserves), and environmental risks (e.g., potential fugitive emissions) need careful management. It's an exciting frontier in the clean energy transition! If you'd like deeper dives into specific regions, companies, or comparisons, let me know.
