Schizo Hydro Power Plant Does Both 50Hz and 60Hz.

I read in alt.binaries.schematics.electronic that "Watson A.Name -

Without the dam, you wouldn't have the selenium problem.

It's not a problem, it's an opportunity. See my other post.

I read in alt.binaries.schematics.electronic that Richard Crowley
about 'Schizo Hydro Power Plant Does Both 50Hz and 60Hz.', on Wed, 6 Apr
2005:

I've heard that the reason for DC was because of transmission
losses at 60Hz. According to my calculations, the wavelength
of 60Hz is 500KM. So the length of the transmission line is
1361KM which makes it 2.72 wavelengths @ 60Hz. How
does that work?

Wavelength matters for the enormously long lines in Canada and Russia
(and China?). But for shorter lines, it's capacitance that causes
problems, even for overhead transmission at 60 Hz.

In Ireland, the border between the North and the Republic passes
through some ppls' houses !

With a currency exchange in the cupboard under the stairs?

?? The cotton in the shirt on your back was very likely grown in the
Imperial Valley, watered with that very water that came from the
Colorado River!

I didn't mean to rain on your parade at all Watson. Altho the project
referenced is without doubt an engineering marvel, environmentalists are
more & more in opposition to dams. I don't think I'm telling anyone
something they don't know. As new evidence accumulates I guess there may be
some changes for the future, but who knows.

When it comes to the shirt on my back I've noticed more & more lately that
things like that seem to be coming out of China, India & other 3rd World
places. You gotta wonder where our children & theirs will be working in
future. Not everyone wants to sling burgers at MacDonalds.

My 2 cents, anyway. John Stewart

Read Marc Reisner's "Cadillac Desert". Here's some info on the PBS

"Reisner examines the West's ecologically dangerous, and ultimately
harmful, dependence on dams and aqueducts.."

We ship raw materials back, in return for the finished goods from those
countries. And one of those raw materials is cotton from California.

They could always raise the cows that provide the meat for the burgers.

Most cattle ranches are highly automated and don't require many people
to run them. I guess they're still called cowboys, yes? Or ranchers?
Whatever.

Cotton planted & picked by low cost immigrant labor from Mexico. Then
processed offshore. Profits made by large landholders & water users. Where
is the real benefit for the ordinary American? JLS

It makes jobs for Border Patrol officers.

It keeps Wal-Mart in cheap Chinese goods!

It makes jobs for stevedores at the ports of L.A. and Long Beach, Calif.

No. Americans are extraordinary.

Whatever.

They call them "cattle feeders" and the ranches are called "feedlots."
