We were there 10 years afterwards. No lasting effects. Those who remember the alarmist congressional testimony from Sierra Club and others know the earth is incredibly resilient, and environmental groups have a dishonest agenda to remain funded.

Whatever happened to that plane? I read about it in the late 80’s I believe but didn’t see much after that.
Close, but number of exhausts v intakes does not match???
There were 2 built I believe, both now at museums.

This is a Tesla model Y battery. It takes up all of the space under the passenger compartment of the car. To manufacture it you need:
--12 tons of rock for Lithium (can also be extracted from sea water)
-- 5 tons of cobalt minerals (Most cobalt is made as a byproduct of processing copper and nickel ores. It is the most difficult and expensive material to obtain for a battery.)
-- 3 tons nickel ore
-- 12 tons of copper ore
You must move 250 tons of soil to obtain:
-- 26.5 pounds of Lithium
-- 30 pounds of nickel
-- 48.5 pounds of manganese
-- 15 pounds of cobalt
To manufacture the battery also requires:
-- 441 pounds of aluminum, steel and/or plastic
-- 112 pounds of graphite
The Caterpillar 994A is used to move the earth to obtain the minerals needed for this battery. The Caterpillar consumes 264 gallons of diesel in 12 hours. The bulk of necessary minerals for manufacturing the batteries come from China or Africa. Much of the labor in Africa is done by children. When you buy an electric car, China profits most.
The 2021 Tesla Model Y OEM battery (the cheapest Tesla battery) is currently for sale on the Internet for $4,999 not including shipping or installation. The battery weighs 1,000 pounds (you can imagine the shipping cost). The cost of Tesla batteries are:
Model 3 -- $14,000+ (Car MSRP $38,990)
Model Y -- $5,000–$5,500 (Car MSRP $47,740)
Model S -- $13,000–$20,000 (Car MSRP $74,990)
Model X -- $13,000+ (Car MSRP $79,990)
It takes 7 years for an electric car to reach net-zero CO2. The life expectancy of the battery is 10 years (average). Only in the last 3 years do you start to reduce your carbon footprint, but then the batteries must be replaced, and you lose all gains made.
And finally: I forgot to mention the amount of energy required to process the raw materials and the amount of energy used to haul these batteries to the U.S. sometimes back and forth a couple of times.
By all means, get an electric car. Just don't sell me on how awesome you are for the environment. Or for human rights.
This is a girl with huge tankers, it has nothing to do with batteries.
Ya. I know. I just thought it was funny because he said it was destroyed but someone couldn't even tell if they looked at the spot.
It's kind of like the oil spill Obama's government made so big in the gulf of Mexico. What were the actual long term effects. Nothing. And the short term would have been less had they let them cap it to begin with instead of making them wait months for a government study.

I like how you removed your fingerprint before posting the photo.
Just not a fan of the new Ferrari ethos of long nose
I met someone from there, he said it was the best thing that ever happened. "Best thing since the gold rush" or some such expression.
The only long term effects were several commercial fisherman in Galveston and no telling how many in Louisiana became BP millionaires.
Twin brother.Is that Lurch's sister?

rules n’ shit…. Another from that set with the chick sitting on the garbage cans a few posts up:
You better get slavic girl some lights. Cause that right there is how you get leggy seedlings.
It's best to use the big cells for squash and cucumbers. Or just direct seed them.

This area gets shit loads of light in the afternoon. Can't grow shit in the desert dirt where I am in AZ, so we're working with what we can here.
so fk'n hot, you have to shade your tomatoes, or you get all plant and NO fruit. and WATER.. fk an A.. nothing like 120 degrees and water.
desert dirt = sand. fk'n water just disappears
best growing season for Alfalfa ..
pics and stuff cuz of rulz
That can be because most tomatoes don't like to set fruit if overnights are not getting to around 60.so fk'n hot, you have to shade your tomatoes, or you get all plant and NO fruit. and WATER.. fk an A.. nothing like 120 degrees and water.

Seedlings need 8 hours of direct light minimum. They are much better off with at least 12 hours. Tomatoes need planted out in around mid February in most of AZ. By the time those are ready it will be way too hot. Melons, squash, corn, and sweat potatoes like heat and sand. Other stuff to think about is Brussel sprouts broccoli leaf lettuce spinach and potatoes in the winter.
