Comment Iceland is the place to watch (Score 3, Interesting) 95

They are purposely drilling into magma to build a geothermal plant. They accidentally hit magma before and didn't mean to. Now they are doing it on purpose and they think they are prepared. The plant is expected to generate superheated steam that should power a massive generation system.

Comment I recently heard a bunch of EV big trucks in use (Score 1) 370

I was just outside Bentonville, AR next door to the Interstate. At about 3:00 AM, I heard trucks leaving on the Interstate. One I heard just pull out, and kept winding higher and higher. I heard more and more EV trucks that never shifted, just buzzed right down the road. It isn't just personal vehicles losing manuals. And I heard truckers really like driving the EVs.

Comment Electric companies are jokes that we depend on (Score 2) 133

At one time, I got to eat lunch with some techs from our local electric company. They told is tales of how the company won't replace bad equipment until it cannot be patched anymore. Our city's sewer plants are supposed to be dual fed for power. A windstorm took down one for almost a month regardless of the promises.
