There’s farmland in Troy that went from rolling pasture to industrial Park. Cianbro wiped out a farm and put up a huge facility on route two halfway between Newport and Skowhegan. There’s also a ton about it in the media

Nope, 25 GW.

Have any examples or are you just making this up?

Racking, anchors, clamps, etc are designed for high wind areas. Florida solar installations actually get beefier hardware than those in California because it's designated as a high wind area.

The material they use to make it strong is vulnerable to water, so they put it in wood which likes to absorb moisture?
This'll probably be the cross-laminated wood bridges all over again. For those that don't know over in europe they tried making a bunch of bridges out of clw. They ended up collapsing not long after from regular traffic because moisture weakened the bridges.

Reply to comment by SneezySniz in 33 million kids vaccinated against polio in southern Africa by Boris740
Holy shit dude you could post expired news articles for your conspiracies or you could read the one that's been published yesterday
>Malawi detected the wild poliovirus disease in a young child in its capital, Lilongwe, in February last year — the first time the strain was reported in Africa in five years. The virus spread to neighboring Mozambique, causing other countries in the region to be on alert.

If I remember correctly, the treatment also cost 2.4 million Euros. That whole family will be paying off that debt for the rest of their life

They're too used to not actually having to do anything except send threatening letters backed by the money of the big company they work for. Actually having to go to court and argue a case is something most of them haven't had to do in a long time I expect.

vanilla has been artificially pollinated since an at the time slave (Edmond Albius) created a technique to artificially pollinate its flowers (when he was just 12 years old) which made the crop incredibly profitable afterwards
a lot of fruits grown in places without their natural pollinators are also artificially pollinated

You obviously have no understanding of what zoos do. They are not solely for entertainment. These animals weren’t taken from the wild. This is all they’ve ever known.
Many zoos are actively engaged in conservation and breeding programs.

Anyone gonna tell them? Or should I? You do know that real wood captures even more CO2 right?

Yeah, having endless night during peak heating season really makes it a tough sell.

Yes and…
Engineered wood really just means they take bits of wood that are all oriented in the right direction and then squeeze and glue those together. It means much less wood can have much more strength because most wood has knots or other bits that weaken it structurally so you have to over spec traditional lumber.
So it’s stronger and you need less of it.

We had a monopoly but it’s broken now that another company came along. Now they are freaking out because they are losing customers like crazy. Screw Cox communications. Shot tier service.

Not to speak on the credibility or potential of this article, 'cancer cure' level headlines do come and go. But I agree, non-fossil fuel energies used to be wildly expensive and more impractical years ago, now solar and wind are close to among the cheapest. If engineered wood could be a viable option and replacement for razing forests one day, then why not?
