Andrei Moutchkine + 828 December 2, 2021 On 4/29/2021 at 1:24 AM, Jay McKinsey said: The turbines are recyclable, it takes time for industry to develop the value chain to implement it. In most part that comes from volume which is growing as more turbines reach the end of their life cycle. There just hasn't been enough turbine blade retirements to make recycling economically viable, that is rapidly changing. No known way to recycle fiberglass. Easier to switch to mechanically superior carbon fiber, which is combustible. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This recycling contract, the first of its kind in the U.S. wind turbine industry, will turn the blades into a raw material for use in cement manufacturing. The result: a 27% reduction in CO2 emissions and a 13% reduction in water consumption. A single wind turbine blade that weighs 7 US tons recycled through this process enables the cement kiln to avoid consuming nearly 5 tons of coal, 2.7 tons of silica, 1.9 tons of limestone, and nearly a ton of additional mineral-based raw materials. This solution, which can be rapidly deployed at scale, increases the environmental benefits of the wind industry. In order to turn the blades into raw material, Veolia will use a co-processing solution that has already proven its effectiveness in Europe: once removed from the wind turbines, the blades - mainly composed of fiberglass - will be shredded at a Veolia plant in Missouri. The resulting material will then be used in the kilns to replace the coal, sand and clay needed to make cement. More than 90% of the blade will be reused: 65% as raw material in the cement plants, and 28% transformed into energy required for the chemical reaction in the kiln. „Sustainable disposal of composites such as wind turbine blades has been a challenge, not only for the wind turbine industry, but also for aerospace, maritime, automotive and construction industries“, explains Anne McEntee, CEO of GE Renewable Energy's Digital Services Business "By recycling wind turbine blades for use in cement manufacturing, we reduce the amount of coal, sand and minerals needed and so produce greener cement. We have processed more than 100 blades so far“, added Bob Cappadona, CEO for Veolia North America's Environmental Solutions and Services Division.

President Biden's calls on OPEC to increase production earlier this year were received poorly by the U.S. shale patch, which believes it can take care of the supply problem. US producers just don’t believe the hype or the BS.

Battery manufacturing efficiency increases and the rise in oil prices are off setting the rise in lithium prices. I know this is difficult for you to understand but lithium is a relatively small one time cost component in a battery that lasts for a couple decades. Expensive oil is a weekly cost component in an ICE vehicle. But forget reality let's have some fun. So Ron, just when do you say EV sales are going to start decreasing?

Nat gas is going to drop under $4 in the next few days. Do you think it can hold at $3.60....... Looks like winter is on hold. Global warming is not a Hoax NatGasWeather said Tuesday forecasts pointed to increasing warmth expectations for the first half of December, with milder adjustments spread across the 15-day projection period. “The overnight data remained exceptionally bearish the rest of this work week and again Dec. 9-15 as most of the U.S. experiences temperatures 10-30 degrees warmer than normal,” the firm said. “…What also makes the overnight data bearish is that the end of the 15-day forecast was again quite warm with the upper pattern, suggesting bearish weather headwinds in the 10-15 day period will carry over to forecast days 16-20.” Widespread cold, the forecaster added, may not arrive in the Lower 48 until the final week of December. Natural Gas Price Prediction – Prices Drop on Warm Weather Forecast Tue, November 30, 2021, 12:31 PM·1 min read Natural gas broke down through support levels. The weather is expected much warmer than normal throughout the entire United States for the next 2-weeks which should put downward pressure on natural gas demand. Technical Analysis On Tuesday, natural gas prices dropped falling through to support near the November lows at 4.65. Target support are the July lows at 3.60. Resistance is seen near the 10-day moving average at 4.96. The 10-day moving average has crossed below the 50-day moving average, which means a short-term downtrend is in place. Short-term momentum has turned negative as the fast stochastic generated a crossover sell signal. Medium-term momentum is reversed and turned negative as the MACD (moving average convergence divergence) is about to generate a crossover sell signal. did you not get the memo, November was the much warmer than normal over most of the US Edited December 3, 2021 by notsonice 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Note how #1 Exxon does not frack and #2 Chevron very little. Much easier to do it the old fashioned way, by ripping off a banana republic like Guyana or Russia. Technological advantage for US is not obvious. Russia is on the EOR cutting edge https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enhanced_oil_recovery#Plasma-pulse Not to speak of the activities in the Arctic, where nobody is even close. Actually both Chevron and Exxon are heavily invested in shale oil. Exxon's domestic US shale operations are conducted mostly through it's subsidiary XTO (formerly Crosstimbers Oil) so it may not be obvious to a casual observer. Both have pulled back from shale gas however as a long period of low natural gas prices in the US was (and to an extent still is) making it hard to make money on it. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Only the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_return_on_investment does, and they have the worst. Actually, Wiki says that shale is worse, which is only obfuscated by free process heat from associated gas https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_return_on_investment#Oil_sands Both are pretty crap, though. the wiki article is confusing to someone not familiar with the specific terminology of upstream oil and gas. oil shale (what the wikipedia refers to) is organic rich shale which is mined, then processed at surface with surfactants chemicals and heat to produce oil. Shale oil is what is drilled into and fractured to produce oil and gas. The energy ROI on shale oil is MUCH better - roughly in the lower third of the conventional oil return. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
