Daryk Campbell Sr Posted yesterday at 04:27 AM Posted yesterday at 04:27 AM Im always fascinated by one sided reporting and selling. When the push was to install and operate these, and electric vehicles, and solar panels etc., they sell the benefits. They promised it was eco friendly blah blah blah. Now that they have made their money, they are looking for assistance in removing them and (realizing) the technology was not as well thought out as it was sold. I'm sure lessons were learned, improvements were made, and it will benefit future science. I do believe that. I prefer the story also include how much energy each one has contributed, what has been learned, and how it compares to other energy sources. nomolites, Quillback, BilletHead and 2 others 5 Money is just ink and paper, worthless until it switches hands, and worthless again until the next transaction. (me) I am the master of my unspoken words, and the slave to those that should have remained unsaid. (unknown)
snagged in outlet 3 Posted yesterday at 11:59 AM Posted yesterday at 11:59 AM Repower something that supposedly makes power? 😆 “However, thousands of wind turbines are reaching the end of their operational lifespan and need to be either repowered“ Our company makes (made) towers and foundation shaft casings for these things. The wind farm business dried up about 4 years ago. Relative to what it was previously. We switched that facility over to piling and heavy civil fabrication. Mainly marine work.

Quillback Posted yesterday at 12:08 PM Posted yesterday at 12:08 PM Was out in Oklahoma a few weeks ago, trucks going the other way on HWY 60 hauling turbine blades, those blades are big. Johnsfolly, nomolites and Daryk Campbell Sr 3

We used to get 60-70 car trains with those turbine blades. Usually had one blade on3 cars because of the length. nomolites, BilletHead, Quillback and 1 other 4
Daryk Campbell Sr Posted yesterday at 02:55 PM Posted yesterday at 02:55 PM They go by the St Louis area with the blades enough to where it isn't a novelty to see them. They are large. Driving through Illinois, you can see some of the wind farms, and they are really neat to see. I don't know the science of why they are going out of service, and cannot be retrofitted but I'm curious to know the full story. Not really curious enough to godown the rabbit hole. I just wish they would get deeper into the story, or share the links that are relative. This just seems to be one sided reporting. Not blaming you Marty, it's qn interesting article. Just got me curious. LOL BilletHead and ness 2 Money is just ink and paper, worthless until it switches hands, and worthless again until the next transaction.

I know they need oil and products made from oil so that will still need to be available forever. I do know using wind and solar is a good thing but in the long run does it pay off?

dblades Posted 23 hours ago Posted 23 hours ago Hopefully in a few more years, we'll be investing in small scale fission reactors. Daryk Campbell Sr 1
Maverickpro201 Posted 23 hours ago Posted 23 hours ago U235 Fission is the way to go, according to a very close friend of mine. Daryk Campbell Sr 1
