Offthemat Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 The Atlantic Is Cooling at a Mysteriously Fast Rate After Record Warmth The sudden shift in water temperature is puzzling scientists. https://gizmodo.com/the-atlantic-is-cooling-at-a-mysteriously-fast-rate-after-record-warmth-2000488967 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mspart Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 Well, now we have global cooling to obsess about. But never fear, they changed the language to global climate change to to cover that eventuality. So we can just obsess about it no matter which way it goes and we are right. mspart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scouts Honor Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 so clean Yes, a 5-megawatt wind turbine can hold up to 700 gallons of lubricant. Wind turbines can also hold up to 1,400 liters of oil, hydraulic fluid, and lubricants in total. The oil in wind turbines needs to be changed every 8–16 months, depending on the source.

And when they drive out to service the wind turbine are they driving wind turbine powered trucks or diesel powered trucks? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lipdrag Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 (edited) "Automotive News’ Larry P. Vellequette provides details on new property insurance guidance that helps dealerships manage fire risks when servicing electric vehicles." So, do you think the property insurance rates for dealerships is going down or up due to the risks involved with the green new EVs? They are sustainable, dontchaknow? How are Rivian's property insurance rates going to be affected? Edited August 26 by Lipdrag 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lipdrag Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 Ford said its EV business is on track to lose an eye-watering $5 billion this year alone. In the three-month period ending in June, the automaker lost about $44,000 on every electric vehicle it sold. That is not sustainable. Sustainable?!? Hey, Greta says it is sustainable and Greta get what Greta wants. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mspart Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 It looks like someone did not do due diligent stress analysis on that turbine blade for it to break so soon. Or materials were of low quality. It is not easy, but very do able. There is a matter of ultimate strength, tensile strength, and fatigue analysis due to all the repetitious revolutions. As I understand it, it was the railroads that provided the new science of material fatigue as tracks and wheels were breaking all the time. mspart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the 4x a cheap fix or should we instead party like its 1999? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Climate is the general weather over a long period. This can include rainfall, temperature, snow or any other weather condition. We usually define a region's climate over a period of 30 years.
