5/23/2026 6:46am These data centers go up in 12 to 48 months depending on size and permit delays. Nuclear power plants take a decade minimum and usually decades to build and get online. This means nuclear power plants are not scalable to match the energy needs of these data centers.

5/22/2026 2:44pm The governments and businesses that want these centers aren’t waiting a year much less ten years for offsetting power plants to come online. For reference, Musk’s xAI data center in Memphis went online in less than a year and he brought in mobile natural gas/methane generators to partially power it. These entities are looking for cheap land, cheap electricity rates...

5/22/2026 2:24pm China is building them underwater which is ingenious for cooling and landmass savings. They are also coupling them with big solar farms (some floating too), wind and battery storage.

5/22/2026 10:17am There is no chance those are built and online in the next 10 years. Nuclear is great, just not scalable for our needs.
tcannon521 Added a reply to Nashville Daytime Race, WHY?
4/10/2026 5:29am Ironically, Nashville has some pretty strict noise laws after 10 p.m. everywhere outside of Broadway. I’m guessing the real reason is that they can’t get the necessary permits to start later, and 2 p.m. is the latest start time they’re comfortable with, given that it’s an open-air stadium and they need buffers for inclement weather.

3/28/2026 7:50pm He has been off the pace ever since the Justin Cooper heat race crash. I’m guessing he tweaked something during that crash.

3/3/2026 9:36pm You might want to do a little research. Obama literally revived the US oil industry (until COVID crushed it due to barrel costs going to zero) and his policies led to the US being the world’s largest oil producer his last year in office. This was completely against his party’s agenda and he took a lot of heat for it...

12/22/2025 5:31pm Weird, Norway is over 90% new vehicle EV sales at this point consistently for the last few years. I wonder how they survive over there?
tcannon521 Added a reply to Backing away from all the Electric Car hype…?
12/21/2025 5:34pm It’s not as bad as the news makes it. Sales in America might be slightly down but global sales are still up. It’s estimated they will be up 20 to 25% this year and the total global EV market share will be about 25% this year. As for free market pricing, I’m all for it. We give about 35 billion...

11/8/2025 8:00pm Well said! Manufacturing is about repeatability and efficiency. Repeatability equals reliability and efficiency (less headcount, more automation) equals profitability.

8/28/2025 5:02am That’s the difference between most riders and the elite. Prado clearly belongs in the elite category and something definitely held him back this year. Look at Tony Cairoli, a retired 39 year old came over and put up similar results on a brand new motorcycle.

20(!) years ago the world lost a great one. I will always remember getting that fateful phone call when I was down at Lorettas. Marcad57 was larger than life and so much fun to be around. Miss ya bud!

No, they won't bring manufacturing to US. All the American manufacturers are going to be paying 50% more for their steel, 50% more for their copper, 25% more for their Canadian production, 25% more for their Mexican production, and 55% on their Chinese production. Yamaha, Honda, Kawasaki and Suzuki only has to pay 15% more and they're done with all the shenanigans. Art of the deal

5/1/2025 6:16pm The first batch in 2006 had a piston without an oil path to the wrist pin. The wrist pin would seize and ultimately break. Kawasaki replaced mine with a Wiseco piston because they didn’t have a fix yet. Luckily mine didn’t grenade but the pin was seized on the piston and it took a hammer and punch to get it...

2/13/2025 9:52pm Amazon has been changing out their delivery vehicle fleet to electric. They are buying the vehicles from Rivian and every new warehouse that does deliveries has the same parking lot full of ev chargers. They are also adding them to legacy delivery warehouses.

2/13/2025 9:57pm Isn’t that how America works? Seems to be the same way left and right wing politicians gain majority control of the House and Senate. Which in turn means their ideology/laws becomes de facto for the country too. For example, the senate is 53/47 republican but the 53 republicans represent about 24 million less Americans than the 47 democrats. Ultimately, the...
