I dont know man. keeping polluting industries in place to preserve jobs doesnt seem right

I mean might as well start mining for the stuff they need to create all those Tesla batteries

What is the percentage of electricity that wind provides vs fossil fuels?

Nothing to do with politics,  just real life economics and population growth.

Truth is population especially in larger cities is growing substantially faster and faster.

I am all for green energy,  but a realist also.

I will Google total US energy consumption and where it comes from.

The nat gas market in the USA is going to be interesting over the next couple of years. Because of the huge growth in fracking nat gas is going to be almost free in a lot of local areas.

I'm surprised there is so little hydroelectric power compared to Canada.

Wind 6% nuclear 17% coal 24%, Natural Gas 34% Hydro 7% other Biomass solar petroleum geothermal etc.

The mine I work at used to ship trains to a power plant outside of state,  they canceled their contract  and decided to go with natural gas...
That was until last year when a huge cold snap hit and natural gas prices spiked and the cost of gas was too much even for our green friends outta state.

So back to coal they went and our contract is back.

Population is growing, but industry and households are becoming more energy efficient. It's basically a wash to a net decline.

I don't think you are going to be out of a job, nor do I think I am going to be out of a job.

Here's to retirement..!!
Forecast for my mine is through end of 2038. Which will be just right.

Then statues of coal miners and one of myself will line the main street here in town.
I will be regarded highly as one of the country's last coal miners and parades will be held in my honor.

We just need to put Trump in again.

Which will be easy if his democratic contender is Warren or Sanders, or even Bloomberg.

It's like Larry Bird when Dennis Rodman was guarding him when Rodman played for the Pistons.

Rodman would play tough defense and be all over him and Bird would yell to his teammates to pass the ball to him because nobody was guarding him...
This was after Rodman said Bird would just be a regular baller if he was black. But was held in high regards because he was white....

All said and done a bunch of good folks in this thread.

Wish I could buy you all a beer.

And yes erecting windmills is a badass job.
Many here in my state as well.

Bump! Some interesting stuff in this thread. I don't know anything about windmills, but working on them sounds interesting.

Anybody on here ever work on huge oil tanks? I was passing by a white one today with stairs wrapping around it. Looked cool.

They probably need to wash and paint them every couple of years. I don't think it's a high maintenance piece of equipment. Like it's just a tank. Maybe a couple of valves that need to be checked once in a while.

It's a storage tank. Sometimes it's empty, sometimes it's full.

Can you imagine how spooky it would be, to open one of those empty spheres, and shining a flash light in there to the bottom, like it's so far down. And then ur friend starts pretending to push you in. You'd fall so far. I wonder if that's happened to anyone

I knew a guy who used to climb into tanks like that and spray liquid metal to coat the interior walls.  Made hella cash but he probably died like the terminator in the second movie.. :thumbinator:
