Problem with bringing back Manafacturing jobs

[Harry Dresden]

The largest problem with bringing back manufacturing to the USA is the amount of Electricity available. TVA has the potential of a little surplus....but not enough.

The 2 new chip plants going into Arizona are facing the EXACT same issues. Where they are going to get the juice is beyond me. Texas electricity (had a huge surplus) is sold to California at premium prices because they refuse to generate their own.

And power generation requires water....lots of water for the steam and heat exchangers.

Arkansas, New Mexico, and Colorado could generate more....maybe Oklahoma too.

Dunno....the solar plant in the Nevada desert went bankrupt. (So much for green energy)

In Georgia, there are areas no more subdivisions can be built because there is not enough available power. They need the housing but there is insufficient power available on the grid to power them.

So....
The EPA has been effectively muzzled and restrained. But that still is not enticing power producers to invest.
I have yet to hear of any new generating plants in the works.

thats not the reason they are shutting it down here in Nevada...it has become obsolete with the newer solar technologies....Nevada energy is readying the site to potentially be repurposed for those newer technologies....thats the letter i got from them....

I knew guys who worked on the project.
They hated that job. (Road dogs....guys who liked to travel for construction work) Sure the pay was OK but it was in the middle of nowhere and everyone was griping and bickering. Then the engineering and site survey were also crap. (There were several "incidents")
In the end the Electricians had to re-engineer many things to get the thing working at all. And it never produced the intended amount of electricity. (Bad design)

Then came the storms and destroyed a lot of it. (Predicted) it was a huge waste of time, resources, and money.

If they turn it into an open pit mine for rare earth's it would be more in line with what it really is....a money pit.

Usually around and just under 2%.
Distribution frequency is at 60 hz....

But transmission frequency is at 15hz....skin effect is not a material factor. Voltage is. Longer distances get put out at 500 KVA....local transmission is usually 62.

I'm a commercial/industrial electrician. I've built switchyards...worked at generating plants, cleaned more insulators in freezing weather on top of a boom lift than I'd like to remember.

And you are a what?

I am awed by your ability to bullshit your resume!

Texas has a separate electrical grid. A problem that reared its head when the state froze a few winters back. They cannot accept nor transmit electricity outside of the state. That's why they nearly died for lack of power. Have a nice day!

It's not just education, although that is a huge part of the problem. It is mostly culture rot and the projected theme of 'jobs Americans won't do', shoved down our throats for 40 years. That and the phoney ass college for everyone scam that inflated school loans in step with the liberal colleges. Now the unions are fighting to survive without local members and must rely on illegals. https://www.freep.com/story/news/lo...as-revoked-immigration-crackdown/82761540007/ Who would want to build new manufacturing facilities in any city here now where we have street mobs every weekend or a labor pool that has been raised to hate the Man? Why would anyone invest here with all this lawlesness and encouraged acting out controlling the streets? Take a good look at your potential work force.

Ask Sparky if I'm BS! He is another electrician on here.
I keep it turned down and try not to speak electrician too much because unless you are one, half the terms get lost on normal people.

We breathe the 12 formulas of Ohms Law/power formula....
Then the 72 formulas for AC derived from them by adding inductance and capacitance to the mix.

But electrical work is 10% knowledge and 90% perspiration....meaning work. Climbing ladders and getting into tight places. All the dusty and greasy corners of an industrial plant. Especially the red iron. Where nobody goes.
The cabinets? Half the time it's red spaghetti all blown up and fallen out of its panduit.

Here's a pic of my apprentice....we are trying to fit a few more conduits into the rack and cabinet.

There's nothing wrong with our workforce. You get what you pay for. Effort is directly tied to wages.

This myth brought to you by a man who hasn't worked in 30 years and is suffering from dementia.

Tim Cook mentioned a lack of skilled workers when he stated why the iPhone plant was not coming back here. But, he said that the biggest reason is the lack of tooling capabilities.

 

[OhPleaseJustQuit]

As others mentioned, it's unrealistic and living in the past to think that manufacturing jobs are going to come back. For a number of reasons.

And btw we're being mocked....
