Think is Man that causing Climate change? Read this...

Ok

 

I guess I must have blocked all of the politically minded people on this thread. I just see WeldrDave talking to himself and skeeter posting cat pics. Carry on!

 

Yup I added another today to that list. Love to wind them up though so they can argue with themselves.

 

I'm listening to poor weldrDave. He is up there in weirdoville all by his lonesome. I agree that this is not a political thread.

 

I would like to take a look.

 

Ive got 2 cents, with the growing population i dont see how anyone can think we can continue dow this path, it would be a terrible thing if we cleaned up the environment.
I just want a better place for my kids and grandkids.
The source of the information can make it political even though the poster did not.

 

its squirrel man....he shows up every so often to cut wood

 

I was merely pointing out that one can usually find conflicting reports from different scientists.

I generally try to see who's funding the research to see which bias is in effect.

The tobacco industry had scores of research that denied a connection to cancer via smoking.

Other groups (American Lung Association) had scores of research that made a correlation.

I smoke, I might die of cancer, or could get hit by a bus.. who knows. Although I consider the odds of being hit by a bus to be extremely low.

As to the windmills, I've literally seen dozens if not 100+ turbine blades transported down I-86. I'd think those are being manufactured somewhere here in the US.

As to Timken bearings, perhaps you forgot what I do for a living. I am paid to disassemble bearings every day to compare the quality of Chinese and Indian made bearings vs US and other countries bearings.

The customers our company deals with order bearings in such large quantities, that they are always looking to cut costs, while not sacrificing quality.

One would be very hard pressed to find many commercial products (outside of governmental contracts that require US product) that are 100% US made. I'd likely estimate there are none.

It's the world we live in, even if not the one we'd prefer.

 

Nah............ at the end of the day all you end up with is sore fingers, covered in mud and no more intellect.

 

I missed any posts about the wind turbines, a lot of the blades were made in North Dakota at one time, I worked on wind turbines for 15 years before I retired, talk about misinformation, people will believe anything if they know nothing about the subject.
I think the tubes are welded here also but been a while since I have been involved.
It is a very good paying job for the young and strong.

 

I know they have at least some of their bearings still made here, there is a big plant 1/2 hour from here...

 

I'm not aware of any Timken product coming from China, but have seen a lot from India, and France.

As well as USA
