    NONE of them ^^^ will ever experience ANY interruption to their electricity consumption. NONE.

    Coming next to a United States near you: water rationing.

    Across from our SCE cal lab building was the repair facility for some giant ass armatures being rebuilt from the various hydro's up in the Kommifornia Sierra mts. Big mofo's. Sorry...no pics.
    Meanwhile....the powers that be want to destroy several Snake River dams to save the salmon runs. Lots of folks pissed.
    If it goes thru....replaced by coal fired plants. Dumb asses.

    So dumb, they've been trying that for decades.
    Coal is done here in WA though, I think there is only one plant left that's on its way out.
    Glad I work on the Columbia River!

    Congress does have to authorize such nonsense. But coal fired plants are "supposedly" to replace the hydro. Those damn dams aren't going anywhere IMHO!
    HA!
    Correction...nat gas fired plants? Hell, you know more about this than me.

    Natural gas is even getting restricted. By 2030, Colorado is attempting to be 80% emission free.

    I'll try to find that link about "closing" those dams. It did say that the irony of closing them would be a fossil fuel source. Not enough wind farms in E Washington and quite nearby Orygun to make up the difference. Those dams have locks to allow barges to move goods up and down the Snake to the Columbia and on to the Pacific. Lots of the goods going down is wheat/grains and such. Apples,pears.... FOOD.

    wow. Guess we have small shafts in comparison.

    We have shields on ours.

    This is between the Low Pressure ST and ST Generator.

    This unit is online, I'm standing on the Turbine guide bearing cover plates.

    Old pic of my girls next to this unit under rehab, the stator is probably 35' across.
