When I wanted to read some Gateworld article on my phone a message came up about cookies. I investigated the settings in order to reject but found there was no option to reject all. The list of third parties who would gain storage access on my phone was staggering. Must have been more than a hundred. Absolutely ridiculous.

ok, i freely admit I am far from knowledgeable on physics and the science of motion to energy

but don't the extremely large and obnoxious windmills border on violating the whole entropy thing (maybe not right word, entropy?)?

that is, these smaller mills should use far less wind power to turn on a smaller axis and generate the same level or higher amount of electric then the large ones?

 

[YJ02]

additionally, the use of the traditional large mills sees to also lend to the notion of corporations maxing profit on selling and installing the behemoths when these verticals seem to most likely cost less (material, site prep (over here, the mills on the top of the laurel mtns and over in the poconos required a massive amount of trees to be cut and access roads to built up to the top of the hills.), maintenance) to build and maintain

it is part of the whole monetization of green energy thing in effect with the large mills..more spent, more to operate and maintain = less power produced = rip off

 

[Lord Ba'al]

I think you're probably right. But apparently these vertical axis mills are far more efficient than horizontal axis ones.

they should stack them, get more power output from the same footprint

someone tell me how these 2 fukwits are any different then street drug dealers?

besides their legal issues, i'd also have to say they have a case of , diagnosable, extreme narcissistic personality disorder

being proud of your job is one thing; being obnoxiously boastful about making money from someone's pain is a sickness

Not seeing what you want me to see. . I you mean the pun on her name, I am sure she gets it a lot! But the surname Fuchs is fairly common here in California. It is pronounced Fyooks

yeah i know the pronunciation--this is PA filled with germans

the way it is laid out with the name and what would otherwise-in xray, be the character

it reads 'Jackie Fuchs herself'

it is definitely a visual disaster

of COURSE it is......

bet they label it a 'netflix original' like they do so many other foreign made projects
