Yup the first insurance companies were Greeks covering their ships!
But they never even guess at what "quickly" might mean.
Let's look at the examples he gives in the article:
but you Canadians have a more streamlined system! We could never compete with you!
Yeah, there's more room, but stuff still fills the available space. And everything is bigger. I'm 6'-3", so I never worked on anything small. I just wouldn't fit!
. I never worked a DE boat, but was on one and got a glimpse into the squirrel cage. One big honkn' rotor! Don't recall exactly, but it must have been in the neighborhood of 20,000hp. I suppose there might have been some water cooling going on there. It was a tanker, and I am a deckie, so I was more interested in the cargo control room. I was used to having hands on valves, so that remote control stuff was unnerving to me. That was back in the late 90's. It's all routine now.
Ain't that the truth. Our company designed the waste glass melters for the facility. Been out there helping them start the melters up. Both melter finally have glass in them, but they are still a long way from actually processing waste. I think the plan is sometime next year to start feeding actual waste to the facility. Don't get me started on how much money they have spent on this already!
I thought that was the SLS…
The operative word in describing the problem here is not "train" or "high speed rail" or even (surprisingly) "government." The problem is "California."
Also buying land in some of the most expensive zip codes in the nation. Regardless, the new bridge doesn’t need to buy land, nor is it developing new technology, so it should go much faster than either high speed rail or Hanford.
Normally I'd say; "Don't forget the so-called 'Jobs' program for local inhabitants", but I'm not sure that would be accurate. If they actually put people to work like the TVA did in the 30s (and still today to some extent), it may have been an improvement over the current situation...and less costly. Most of those "New Deal" programs were disasters and only lasted a short time.
If you’re talking about the dam that was a cover for the oak ridge plant power supply. I don’t know if they did anything else.
Which dam are you referring to?
The dam that the TVA built and was supposed to provide power to the community but was actually for oak ridge, I don’t remember it’s name I was there on vacation and read about it in some nuclear books (they don’t tell you at the place)
The WPA and/or CCC built an enormous amount of infrastructure in national and state parks. I’m not sure if the TVA and Bonneville Power Administration dams were parts of the New Deal, but they were definitely adjacent.
Not sure that is accurate. Oak Ridge was selected because there was already a damn on the Clinch river (Norris Dam). So if anything, the plant was built after the dam not the dam being built for the plant.
True, they did build a lot of stuff but were more costly than advertised. One could argue that was needed during and after the depression years to keep the country on some sort of footing until WWII came along.
I don’t know, if that is the order it has the same effect, oak ridge gets all the power.
If by 'same effect' you mean it's the exact opposite of what you stated as a fact (again), then perhaps.
Well, that is the order. But yes, the effect of using the dam for power is the same.

Wrong. You don't live here so you are not expected to know anything about it, but you could look it up
Ok I see, what I meant was that they said that it was to power the local area, but was actually built for the manhattan project. I got the order of events confused, it was built before but when choosing a site for oak ridge Groves chose it because of the dam not the other way around.
