This is where my thought come from about, getting it. I believe in facts.
Robert Davidson had trained as a chemist and made a successful business in the production of synthetic yeast for the baking and brewing industries. This gave him time to devote to his hobby of electromagnetism.
Davidson made a model electric locomotive in 1837. His Galvani of 1842 was a four-wheeled machine, powered by zinc-acid batteries.
By 1839 he had designed a printing press, a turning lathe and a four-wheeled car that all used Davidson's batteries and rudimentary electric motor.
In 1840, the Aberdeen Banner had predicted that the type of machinery he was producing "will in no distant date supplant steam"; however, it was only when electric locomotives were introduced in the 1890s that the media came to recognize what he had done. He was described as the "oldest living electrician" and The Electrician magazine reported "Robert Davidson was undoubtedly the first to demonstrate the possibility of electrical traction in a practical way.
So that above being brought to light.
If the electric traction mode (EV) hasn't worked by now it's not going to work. At lest for the next 100 years. That is for personal use. Mass transit that might be posable. From what I have seen mass transit EV's have been tried and it didn't turn out to good. There are cities that bought fleets of EV busses and there just sitting. There a technical issues and the is a matter of convenience. Not enough charging stations and the biggest waiting for charge for a half hour or more.
Worked in a number of industries. Infrastructure. Having worked in the heavy highway and building. Building and maintaining power plants. The last on was a Natural gas fire power plant, control yard and switch yards. ( Side note that is my avatar here) The next one was in the works for over a decade. Homer city. The old plant is now being demolished. I was working there make preparations and install for two temporary pumps that where for filtering the water discharge from the plant. A plant person overseeing the project came by and told me they where temporary and it's a $1,000,000 project. The supervisor I was working with told me. The year before there were 12-13 gas wells drilled on a 3000 acre site. So go figure what's going to happen. The latest I heard it was going to be power for a Data center in the Pittsburgh area.
The other thing is there recommissioning three mile island. And just hear say Gates has something to do with it. ( By the way I named the guy Bill in the meme.) Here again hear say for a data center. If you are wondering why this is happing. There is a logical reason. Having an electrical engineering degrees and most of the instructor I had were instructor for a power company. By the way I applied my back and my brain. Electrical power can only transported efficiently 400 mile. After that there is loss mostly by heat. That is the simplest way to explain it.
My opinion Safe nuclear power is the answer for a lot of the US needs. Coal got us here and don't forget. There are to many fearmongers against both. I takes a century for the public to come to accept the change or if it's covenant. My son and I were getting are red card to go into nukes for maintenance. There's not enough work. Oil is a necessity for US now. So we worked a lot of pipe line for awhile.
As far as nuclear I was reading about it since I was young. Reading about Admiral Rickover's work and Nicola Tesla. Here again I don't think Edison was the brain's of the operation. Tring not to get of track and keep it short! Same as Einstein and Zwicky who was the brain's. Zwicky theories are now being sound science. Proposed the "tired light" hypothesis in 1929.
Buy some crazy chance I got to meet and talk to someone that work with Rickover. lets call him Jack. Jack was a very smart man Very high morals. Also He was USN UDT. He also works for a local power company as an engineer. He got let go for standing up for what was right. He gracefully left. Whistle blower before there was protection. I really liked talking to Jack. . The by chance meeting gets a little Strange. So My wife's parent worked at Atomic city.
Jack also worked at Atomic city too at the same time. At the time there were or are limited roads to get there. Jack took a bus that would past by her house every day. What are the chances to meeting up decades later across the continuant.
Here again I believe in facts. If I don't work I don't get paid. Are the greater entities ( Government, Companies or other that know what is good for us.) Use the world's resources before we use ours's. If the light in the sky goes out. I know of no tax that can fix it.
"Think complicated confuse the masses. Think simple solve your problems."
ompanies or other. They know what's best for us?) protecting us by using the worlds resources and saving ours's. If the big light in the sky goes out. I know of no that that will fix it!
