Is this really the Green answer to Carbon
Nova Scotia wind turbine catches fire
Lord knows I think the LIE-beral mouldy green energy plan is a RECORD BREAKING SCAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That opinion is not mine simply because of a wind tower fire.................................
My beef is that LIE-berals have turned their mouldy green CRAP into MAJOR PRICE GOUGING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The fire in a wind turbine is nothing more than the usual corporate lack of maintenance that we see in all manner of infrastructure!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Companies that operate oil pipelines KNOW which areas are most likely to rupture....................due to a sharp turn or a restriction or some other issue that increases friction and pressure in certain local areas................................
Companies have simply decided that it is cheaper to wait till the pipe ruptures before going out to fix it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Preventative maintenance means parts get replaced sooner and at higher cost!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Avoiding preventative maintenance means wringing the absolute maximum possible use out of parts before throwing them away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That way they get MAXIMUM USE before needing to do costly repairs that shut down the line!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WE see the same "use it till it breaks" CRAP with railroads!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
One fine spring day aboutv25 years ago a CP Rail freight train rolled through Durham Region and the worn out steel wheels kept sparking on points and rail joints and started THIRTY FIVE GRASS FIRES in Oshawa and Whitby alone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah...............35 fires in a few miles of track..................................
FROM ONE TRAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
On ONE AFTERNOON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That is truly SLOPPY MAINTENANCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fire depts had to respond from towns many miles off to catch up with all the fires that were due to corporate GREED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And perhaps you recall those two women who were crushed to death 20 years back when a CP Rail freight car - riding the same old Durham rail line .............................................
derailed and toppled over the Garden St. Bridge onto a mini van!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is why CN and CP have NO interest in carrying passengers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If a car loaded with wheat or lumber falls off the tracks it is no big deal.............................
the cargo can sit there for days.............................
until the railroad gets around to picking up the mess!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But if a passenger car goes off the rails then an IMMEDIATE AND MASSIVE rescue operation must be started!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And there is the whole problem with oil trains!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Railroads want to treat oil like any other cargo........................
Rail maintenance is just like pipeline maintenance.................................
IT IS COSTLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And railroads will SKIP IT IF WE LET THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
