They have no clue to self sufficiency. |

But they'd rather everything be gifted to them so they wouldn't have to bother themselves with thievery. A sorry lot. -- Thanks Donald.

A while ago one of my inspector trade rags had a story "How hot are those conductors?" talking about how hot some transmission lines run and how that affects line sag but the fact remains that is waste heat going into the air. It is hard to get the utilities to say how much power is wasted in transmission and the crazy bookkeeping they use on the grid makes those numbers hard to actually believe when you see them but it is a pretty big number if your power is coming from very far away. I2R still wins in the end. |

Oh, the Keystone project...there are many many negative issues associated with it. It's not as simple-minded as Trumpsters like to portray it. The main negative is they routed around some indian land and they were not going to get the royalty. Also billionaires like Warren Buffett were going to lose that rail traffic. You don't have to spend much time in Montana or South Dakota to see trains like this, 100 cars or more, hauling that Canadian sludge south. http://gfretwell.com/ftp/montana/Badrock/Got%20oil.jpg This grade crossing looked like this for about 10 minutes until they all got through. |

The company I used to work for put in some equipment for a regional power company some years ago. They told me about an incident where, in the middle of the summer in a coastal SC area, a transmission line that was hot and sagging separated at a badly crimped barrel "butt" splice. No one was there to see it, but when it separated it produced a fireball that, when it hit the ground, blew a big enough hole to drive a truck down into and hide it. They said there were clumps of fused sand laying around. That would have been cool to see, just not too close up. |

They have no clue to self sufficiency. I've seen some of those pics of people filling bags and plastic storage bins with gas. Every one was a female, and their demographic fit perfectly with a demoncrat voter. In fact, one local one was driving a stolen car and ran from the cops, lost control, and crashed. The car caught fire and she is in the hospital. Most definitely not a republican. |

Some of the "high tension" power lines run at *very* high voltages ... in some cases in excess of 200,000 volts. -- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. https://www.avg.com |
