Really need the utility Chaotic/Evil Libertarian/Authoritarian crossover here. Too many options and shades of grey here. But they'd all look like this anyways.

Also for what it's worth I assume that's hydraulic fluid leaking down the side from a busted yaw motor. The actual yaw ring lubricant is a heavy grease.

It's been a while but are there any operators out there not doing tribology based gearbox flushes? . Like you get your end of warranty oil change then ride that bitch out for 15 years or the gearbox explodes on you first right?.
“Green” energy in a nutshell. A single two-megawatt (MW) wind turbine requires about 80 gallons of oil for gear lubrication. 🛢️. That has to be replaced each year. 🗓️. A 1,000-MW nuclear facility operating with a capacity factor of 92.3% can power 770,000 homes throughout a year.

Strangely aggressive.
This is blatantly false. It's NONSENSE, not COMMON SENSE. Solar and batteries are more affordable and reliable than any generation source. Plus, they deploy 4x faster than coal😉. Stop lying about AMERICAN SOLAR and let us help win the AI race.

Idk man, what some of these utility engineers are making it's almost worth looking into.
