From my research the 787 has 4 generator/starters connected through gear boxes. All 4 being mechanically linked with auto and manual disconnects.

Any plausible scenarios, an (1)engine failure, and pre-existing electrical issues could’ve caused all four generators to fail, or unintentionally be switched off. Which would deploy the rat, even if one engine was still going strong?

There is, but I dont know how the 787 electrical system works... I know its a full electric airplane with no bleed air so the electrical system is pretty stout I would think.

When I flew the 747 there was no checklist for loss of all A/C power i.e. losing all 4 generators at the same time. Boeing says its basically impossible. I heard of one where the E&E bay got soaked with water somehow and they lost all 4 generators due to a short from the water. The other couple are 4 engine flame outs due to volcanic ash. Another was supposedly mechanics blocked the generator cooling inlets while they were washing the engines and forgot to uncover them and all 4 generators over heated... 787 has liquid cooled generators I believe.

But to lose all 4 generators at the same time is a statistical improbability... I wont say impossible because, well...ill be proven wrong. The electrical system on the 787 SHOULD be designed so it doesnt have a single fault failure mode.

In 19 years in the airlines I have never lost a generator. I had a CSD drive light come on at idle power before on the 737, but the generator itself was still functioning. Low oil pressure in the CSD.

We COULD do that, true. But WILL we?
And how LONG will it take to do that?
Is the ROI for the refiners there?

These are critical factors in doing what you are suggesting. Its the time aspect that is important - if a shut down lasts only months it crushes the ROI to retrofit or build. So in the time it would take to do those things and the length of time of the disruption is where the economic impact lies.

Does anyone know if I mounted the wind meter on top of my spotter if it would mess it up with the directions of wind when I moved my spotter? Im not 100% sure if it would or not but have a easy mounting solution for it

With ABQ it depends on the mode you use. If its in DOF mode then just keep it pointed at your targets and you are good. If in North mode you will need to keep it pointed North as you adjust. But either way it won't hurt anything.

An American one on the upstream side. Drilling and Completions.

There's little focus on the core business - finding and producing hydrocarbons. Much more focus on DEI initiatives, stock buy backs and buying out other companies to increase reserves on the books.

No real worthy discoveries in the last 10+ years.

I shouldn't have said that. Now @akmike47 @Dirty D and @The D are booking a cruise together.

I stand by my statement.

We could make adjustments to our refining process and run strait domestic.

The fact that it's cheaper to import and use a blend doesn't change what I said.

Heres 2 of the 3. I have to expand them before chamfering so they will fit over the pilot on my henderson trimmer. There were no signifi ant burs on the necks and my mandrel is in great shape. When these necks folded in, the feeling was nearly indiscernable from the rest of the cases, didn't realize what happened until the case came out of the die.

Yeah, that's pretty bad!
In looking at your picture, another thing just now occurred to me that'd be in addition to the issue of burrs. Looking at the inside of the necks (including those of my own virgin ADG's) I noticed the coating from ADG's annealing process. Annealing always leaves an oxidation layer that actually quite abrasive. It makes me think it added additional resistance when drawing the mandrel through the neck, which may have contributed to that??? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I know you said you didn't feel much resistance thinking it's due to them being too soft. But it still take quite a bit of pressure to fold the shoulders like that. When I tested the necks on ADG's for hardness with my Webster Harness Tester, they tested just a little harder than my Lapua brass and about the same as my Peterson brass. I know that doesn't mean your brass couldn't be different. This is just to let you know what I found when doing measurements with my brass.

And pass some law like in California where its illegal to save your rainwater..."Sorry, you cant have that spare sunlight unless you pay a tax."

In Texas we have a law called right to capture. It's for water but maybe I should lobby for it to include sunshine.

Its not a financially viable solution.

Real quick. Tell me what happens if the hydrocarbon markets tanks and the light produce coming from shale(which is expensive to produce)is no longer economically viable? Like what happened during the Rona. Serious question.

I think you are letting this American self sufficiency idea, override what is actually financially viable and wise.

I personally agree we should build more Refining capacity in the US. But it is not something that can just be flipped on and off like a light switch. And you must consider market fluctuation. If you have some ace up your sleeve knowledge, the industry would pay you well to share it.

Keeping production costs down on building refineries would be a start. Circa 1975 I signed on as a union painter when they were building a Champlain refinery in Corpus Christi. When they didnt have any work they'd send us up to the top of the tower with a broom and told us "Stay up there out of sight." We were making $7.00 per hour (then beni's on top of that)do stay out of sight and there were a bunch of us. Not a complaint, 7 per hour for snoozing is alright with me but damn...

It's not that our oil industry hasn't figured this out.

They are driven by short term greed and don't give a fuck.

As someone who used to work for a "super major" oil company, I can confirm.

The same shit that's caused Boeing to be a hollow shell of its former self is happening to the major oil companies.

Our short term profit driven system is eventually going to run itself into the ground.

The narrow minded strategy of riding a horse into the ground will bite the US in the ass.

Investing money into infrastructure that will run our own oil and make profits will be the future like it or not.

We can't expect a steady supply from anywhere except ourselves.

Our country and entire industries being ran by MBAs who have to demonstrate to shareholders perpetual profit, quarter after quarter, leads to companies cannibalizing themselves eventually.

Just like what's happening at Boeing - and many other big corporations in the US.

Beyond that, the US is currently going down the same path as every other failed empire - over stretching itself militarily around the globe, fighting needless wars and taking on massive debt to do so.
