Just saying it's much easier in China than here where our political winds change every 2 to 4 years..

Half the country wants to be communist espically the young, dumb and lazy and would rather save the planet from climate change than the Chinese..

Eagler

You want to be more like China?

[Eagler]

Nope the other half...

Have you seen some of the horrendous filth in China?  A large portion of their ground water is no longer safe for human consumption. Is that what you want?



Anything we do should take the environmental costs into account.  I certainly have no desire to breath poison or drink microplastics and industrial chemicals in my water.


Don't you remember how much dirtier things were in the 70's?

Smog was way worse back then and people thought nothing about throwing trash trash out their car window going down the highway.


We need power AND it needs to be clean.

There is ZERO indications that back up your Qanon claims. Currently you support fascist, who are draining your wallet fir the rich and you seem to think higher prices , lower income and no healthcare is just great. News Flash, you are a minority of 33%.and dropping.

But I’m glad to pay $7 for a pound of ground beef over that 1 yr earlier $3 for no apparent reason. Of course its great that the idiot in charge of DoD has a swastika tatooed on his chest. Thats awesome, but please deflect to a false claim to cover that up

600,000 people died by closing usda, 400,000 were children. If you kill that many kids you think he wouldn’t do it to you?

Any chipmaker who wants to survive will need to focus AI power on bringing power consumption/heat down while launching  hardware architecture specifically designed for AI.     A bit like the antminers were for bitcoin mining. 

Might be time to set up a non-grid connected solar system.

I see rolling blackouts as power is prioritize..

I see America behind as they won't do what Chyna I has been doing from the start..

Animl, you like that kool-aid don't you..

And for the 100th time, I am not on either side as both are crooked  self serving ignorant embedded slim balls..I can clearly see you can't say the same..

Great opportunity for America to sell Hard Coal to China. They produce Soft coal which is roughly 30% more pollutive. If people didn't want to own mines, work there, and produce, they wouldnt. But we should certainly reduce China and Indias pollution.

With their population, youll never have non pollution. They should be a great example of why we shouldn't flood America with large scale immigration because we will get to these pollution levels so much faster...

Most energy should be allowed. Its how society advances. People who are anti oil, most are complete nut jobs. Engines are still the #1 most reliable source of energy and I personally dont think humanity will ever run out of oil. All energy forms have their issues and effects on the environment. Its just nature in general though.

No one wants crap water, microplastics, and trash all over their streets. I do feel that is where regulations are necessary, but we shouldn't allow those companies to leave over seas to skirt those expensive regulations and then sell them back to Americans.

I got no problem with that.  Let them breath it.

But they are looking for sources that CAN"T be cut off by embargo.
That's what is up with all the solar.  They are not green. They just fear their oil getting cut off when they invade Taiwan in 27.

I have grave doubts they consume 2000 gal of oil to operate.  I'd need to see some reliable references on that.
Maybe 2000 gal of petroleum went into to their complete construction and transport to site.  But you don't rebuild a new one every week.
In most parts of the country wind probably doesn't make sense.  In many parts of country solar doesn't make a lot of sense.

From the manufacturer of the Wind Turbines used in my area:

Lubricant Selection for Wind Turbines

Selecting the appropriate lubricants is important for ensuring the efficient operation and longevity of key components in wind turbines. Proper lubricant selection is essential for the gearbox, pitch gear, open gear, and yaw gear to function smoothly. Synthetic oils are preferred in wind turbine applications due to their stability, efficiency at lower temperatures, and viscosity index. These lubricants play a significant role in reducing friction, preventing premature wear, and maximizing the performance of wind turbine components. By choosing the right lubricant and following proper maintenance practices, you can extend the lifespan of wind turbines and optimize their energy production capabilities.

Component   Lubricant Type   Significance
Gearbox   Synthetic Oil   Ensures smooth gear operation
Pitch Gear   Synthetic Oil   Maintains pitch system efficiency
Open Gear   Synthetic Oil   Prevents wear and tear
Yaw Gear   Synthetic Oil   Facilitates yaw control
Friction   Reduced   Enhances overall performance

Maintenance Practices for Wind Turbines

Proper upkeep practices for wind turbines necessitate consistent oil refilling to uphold peak operational efficiency. Wind turbines typically require an average of 80 gallons of oil per year to operate efficiently. Oil changes and lubrication maintenance are essential to prevent equipment failure and reduce maintenance costs.

Following manufacturer recommendations for oil usage and maintenance schedules is vital for wind turbine longevity. Regular oil checks and replacements help sustain wind turbine productivity
