Re: The Shining City Upon a Hill
... I suspect that an offshore wind turbine technician will get paid even more. Perhaps transported by helicopter. I am well familiar with supporting oil rigs by helicopter.
I have one customer that operates a helicopter crash test (mandatory for all off shore workers) facility. They strap you into a helicopter in an indoor facility and crash you into a swimming pool. Not every worker is willing to do that therefore higher pay for those who do.
that's lame that you quote yourself.
personally I find no problem with that it's just your buddy seems to think it is lame. Maybe YOU need to set that little know nothing straight.Comment

.... America is facing an immediate shortage of skilled welders. A lot of US manufacturing is bottlenecked by lack of workers in this very in demand trade.
The big infrastructure projects planned for 2021 will be hampered by the lack of certified welders.
A lot of people are expecting exploding growth in the USA in Q2 due to both pent up COVID demand and a retooling of American priorities to meet the new green economy led by President Biden.Comment

Re: The Shining City Upon a Hill
it just the die hard liberals that are saying that... there are many 'man on the street' videos where they interview liberals at colleges around the nation where the kids say 'oh yes that's racist ' but when asking blacks in let's say Harlem the blacks all say " I have and ID .. I have internet and they WANT voter ID's laws to be put in place.Comment

and IF it is true that is because the left and universities are pushing kids into college with a dead end job in their future.
Mike Rowe is a classic example of pushing kids into TRADE SCHOOL. A good welder can earn upwards of 150,000$/yr. But to listen to educators the only was to make good money is to go to college.
I've never seen a basket weaver or SJW make that kind of money.

Time to give up it's embarrassing
In 2016, Nebraska had 1,335 MW of installed wind power generation capacity, producing 10.1% of the electricity generated in-state.[4] This increased to a capacity of 2,142 MW and a 19.92% of generation in 2019.Comment

Re: The Shining City Upon a Hill
and not to mention the fossil fuels needed to LUBE the turbines constantly .
then there's the damage to wild life that are affected by the electrical fields they generate and the birds getting killed by flying into the blades.
I thought liberals like the Sierra Club so were soooo worried about the environment and wildlife?
oh what a web we weave when we try to deceive!Comment

Re: The Shining City Upon a Hill
HAHAHAHAHA!!!
Wind turbines, according to a bevy of ex-Technicians, construction companies, and others, will never make enough energy to offset the cost and pollution it takes to erect and maintain the units!
And even when a unit is retired, the cost and pollution to dismantle it far exceeds the “clean energy” it was supposed to produce! Not to mention what they do with all the turbine blades (buried underground to remain for centuries)!
SMFH!
Just the cost and Pollution to MAINTAIN the existing rigs should be enough to dissuade any country from building them.
A HUGE waste of time, money, and resources, and a HUGE cost when it comes to pollution!
C’mon Man! You know the Thing!
SSG tends to get overly excited any time he hears about some liberal policy. Often times what looks good in a spending bill simply doesn't translate in the real world. SSG has a habit of not being able to differentiate between what's written on a piece of paper and the real world.
I tried to explain this to him when he first talked about Trudeau procuring enough vaccine for every person in Canada. I tried to tell him that Canada would end up being at the back of the line as other countries would vaccinate their own first.
I don't really blame him for jumping the gun on clean energy. This has been a dream of liberals for many years. He'll catch on as it doesn't go as planned.Adversity temporarily visits a strong man but stays with the weak for a lifetime.Comment
