Lightning strikes are responsible for over 60% of operational blade losses and 20% of wind turbine downtime and the problem is only getting worse.

Unfortunately, many operators do not realize how much business interruption and maintenance funding is consumed by lightning problems until they
review the numbers in detail. And reviewing those numbers can be extremely time-consuming and also discouraging.

The article explains how to (relatively easily) collect internal data and explains how that data helps you evaluate whether a lightning mitigation solution is cost-effective. Just as importantly, the article shows that collecting that data also strengthens your case when seeking budget approvals or negotiating
with insurers.

PES Wind articles are designed to help operators make the most of their assets, from optimal performance in the early days to life-extending upgrades.

Read the article here – these two pages will help you understand lightning problems, and more importantly what to do about them, right now.

Trump’s Third Term

Published

on

From MSN:

Representative Randy Fine (R-FL) has sparked controversy by advocating for the repeal of the 22nd Amendment, which limits U.S. presidents to two terms, citing President Donald Trump’s role in brokering a Gaza peace agreement as justification for extending his presidency. A bipartisan coalition of lawmakers introduced a resolution denouncing Fine’s proposal as a danger to democratic norms, escalating the debate. Amending the Constitution would require a two-thirds vote in Congress and ratification by three-quarters of state legislatures, a formidable hurdle.

Is this a joke?  Congressional Republican Trump sycophant is suggesting that the president’s bid for a third term should be done legally, even though the last few years have brought a nonstop onslaught of grossly illegal acts: the storming of the Capitol, numerous other attempts to overthrow the U.S. federal government by overturning the 2020 election, stealing top-secret government documents, an adjudicated rape, the 34 counts of business fraud on which Trump was convicted, current-day violations of posse comitatus, the execution of unconvicted Venezuelan people on ocean-going ships, and the bulldozing the East Wing of the White House.

The man’s life is one big, ongoing crime; let’s be honest here.

There are so many things going wrong in this country simultaneously that it’s hard to list them all.

Here’s something that no one could have seen coming: (see short video here) crackpot politicians giving parents insane medical advice about how to care for their children.

If I told you that our country’s parents were making decisions on vaccinating their children based on information provided by figure skaters or lawn mower salesmen, you wouldn’t believe me.

But the case is actually worse; it’s coming from the White House.

Do Americans Approve of Our Country’s Execution of Innocent People?

Published

on

In this short video on the bombing of ships leaving Venezuela, President Trump asserts that drug overdoses took like lives of more than 350,000 people last year, a figure that, according to the CDC, is actually 79,383.

In any case, the video fails to mention that executing people who have not been charged with and convicted of a crime is a violation of both domestic and international law.
