I was looking for info of what’s beneath the ground, specifically how deep does the structure go.
But cool video anyway, thanks. It’s amazing how many different videos of anything you can find here.

hi, nice video. Friends and Subscribers welcome if you want to have a look at my Home Wind/Solar Energy stuff. I won a Green Design Contest with my system on Earth Day. Have a look if you like.

The segments are connected by between 50 and 120 very large nut/bolts. They are 5-7 inches long with 2-3 inch nuts.

What were they using to fasten the pieces? I didn’t see it in the video.

so big that is was brought in on 12 railcars. I took some captures of them disassembling it, unfortunately it rained most of that week and the images did not turn out very well.
I think the crane assembled is over 100 meters tall.

I am a civil engineering and I didn’t work on these but a friend of mine does. He works for a construction company that specializes in this type of thing. A degree in civil engineering, construction management or construction science will set you up pretty well for this type of thing.

According to who you believe the world has reached “peak oil” or will reach it within our lifetimes, energy, goods and services are going to increase in cost unless we bite the bullet and follow a much more aggressive renewable energy policy here in the UK as well.

No, too many morons add music to videos which simply don’t need it on youtube.

what happens when nuclear we peak plutonium or thorium or whichever radioactive fuel you use as an energy source? will the US invade other countries rich in these fuels in the future?
We can easily fulfill our energy needs with renewables (only if you plan to live a sustainable life and not a wasteful one like most of the west lives).
US uses 9 hectares of land (energy+food+industries, supplies basically) per person and EU averages out to 5-6.
