    Oppenheimer (2023)

    Lunk, if you look at the timeline of how the country ramped up for production of the atomic bombs in Idaho, Tennessee, and Los Alamos, I would venture the Russians slipped through the cracks. There was a good book written about the creation of the Los Alamos labs. The title was the address of...

    Hail destroys solar farm.

    WD, Current climate change due to human causes has been known for over a hundred years. This is nothing new. The green house effect was understood before the industrial revolution. When coal began its slow rise people understood how the increase of carbon dioxide would effect climate. Again...

    Hail destroys solar farm.

    Wally, solar decreased the impacts of the storm. Natural gas supplies were curtailed two days before blackouts began. BTW natural gas industry was able to charge emergency rates for supplies and reaped hefty profits because of their negligence to prepare after previous storm. Nice read if you...

    JMF, it was the coal and natural gas facilities that failed during the polar vortex. They were down for extended periods due to not receiving recommended upgrades to prevent failure after the previous arctic outbreak. Wind was back online within days as ice melted. These have blades do not have...

After a couple minutes the water started dripping out of the bilge drain hole. Guess I am pulling the deck this winter. I...

    Hail destroys solar farm.

    Wally, on the topic of large solar plants, Texas avoided reaching crises levels with solar outproducing coal plants during the recent heat dome event. I believe solar accounted for 20% of electricity produced on their grid.

    Ive got a theory---

    Snow, I would look at upper level air flows, temperature inversions etc. Aviation weather maps will give better insight to what is happening at different altitudes. Train derailment was in proximity to Ohio River Valley. That impacts how far the pollution would travel. Look at old images of poor...

    Trolling Motor Batteries

    I have used AGM batteries for twenty years. Retired the first one after 15 years. I do not fish tournys and do not go out every weekend. If your batteries are up front and take a pounding I would recommend giving this type a look. 15 year old was an optima blue top. No acid leaks as they are...

    SLE, You said it at the end, if the modifications are disclosed to the insurance carrier prior to incident. That would cover your investment. I do not know how the lawyer/insurance carrier for anyone injured would argue how any modifications to your vessel caused or exacerbated the accident...

    Solar Farm

    Tax dollars, like petroleum, carbon capture and other fossil fuel industries get nothing from the federal government. As Allen stated, I am waiting for the solar windows and roofs to reach maturity before I am willing to jump in with those. The major shingle manufacturers already have them and...

    VCR tape to digital file conversion

    There are several video adapters/dvr available for pc's. I had one that went into one of the card slots. Worked as a tuner and DVR. Converted the old VCR tapes and got rid of them. I think it put them in MP4 format. This is similar to what I had...
