The final components for Rivian's on-site wind turbine arrived in Normal. When the turbine is up and running, every new Rivian vehicle that rolls off our assembly line will get its first charge with 100% carbon-free energy, contributing to our goal of operating a net zero plant.

Alright Rivian, your turn to join NACS.

JerryRigEverything3 years ago

Awesome!

Congratulations Rivian! Now it’s time to get on board with NACS.

Randy Vazquez3 years ago

You guys wanna talk about NACS yet? My wallet awaits your response 👀

Reed-Pinball is fun3 years ago

I am picking up my R1T tomorrow and hope that @Rivian adopts the NACS standard ASAP. CCS is basically a dead standard now.

Christopher Thompson3 years ago

But no NACS!! 😭

Arrio Gonsalves3 years ago

NACS now!!!

Adopt NACS and get EV's really moving forward!

Wind turbine construction: The base of a wind turbine, or foundation, can weigh between 600 and 1,000 tons. Wind turbine blades are built with balsa wood which is obtained by deforestation of the Amazon rainforest. Wind turbines contain concrete, carbon fiber, steel, cast iron, copper, aluminum, boron, chromium, cobalt, manganese, molybdenum, nickel, and rare earth elements. They have an operational lifespan of up to 25 years. It is estimated that globally, around 43 million tons of wind turbine blade waste could pile up by 2050. The diametric opposite of environmentally sustainable.

How big is the world's first 20MW offshore wind turbine? On Feb 5, the world's first 20MW offshore wind turbine successfully completed commissioning and was connected to the grid in the waters off southern Fujian. Standing 174 meters tall with 147-meter blades, one full sweep of its rotor covers nearly 10 football fields. With just a single rotation, it can generate 50 kWh of electricity — enough to power one person for about 17 days. Follow our reporter's lens as he steps into the installation site.

China completes installation of world's largest single-unit floating offshore wind turbine The world's largest single-unit 16-megawatt floating offshore wind turbine "Three Gorges Pilot" was installed on Saturday in waters off Yangjiang, south China's Guangdong Province. The 16-megawatt floating offshore wind turbine consists of three parts, namely a 16 mw ultra-large capacity wind turbine, a semi-submersible floating platform, and a new mooring system. With a maximum tip height exceeding 270 meters, the wind turbine rotor has a diameter of 252 meters, with a swept area equivalent to seven standard football fields. Unlike traditional fixed-bottom turbines that are physically connected to the seabed, it is installed on a semi-submersible floating platform measuring 80.82 meters long, 91 meters wide, and with a displacement of 24,100 tons. The platform is secured through nine suction anchors, combined with domestically produced high-performance polyester fiber cables and anchor chains for seabed mooring and positioning. "To deal with the harsh sea conditions, our team has developed and applied a new mooring system, a dynamic monitoring system, an active ballast system, and 66 kV dynamic submarine cables for the first time in China," said Pan Hongguan, an offshore wind power engineer from Guangdong Branch of China Three Gorges Corporation (CTG). According to Pan, the new mooring system combines polyester cable and anchor chain, which is like adding a "spring" to the middle of the system, to deliver superior mechanical performance. The "Three Gorges Pilot" wind turbine previously completed its integrated assembly at Tieshan Port in Beihai of south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. It arrived at its target sea area located more than 70 kilometers off the coast of Yangjiang after a long-distance towed voyage across the Qiongzhou Strait which connects South China's island province of Hainan with Guangdong Province on the mainland. After being put into operation, the wind turbine is expected to generate approximately 44.65 million kilowatt-hours of clean energy annually, enough to meet the annual electricity demand of 24,000 households.

•042426• new interview of #zhanglinghe with Movie News for "The Answer is Earth" documentary 💬🌱 ZLH🚀: this is a small souvenir they gave me when I visited the wind turbine manufacturing plant. 👤: I know you really like these kinds of things. ZLH🚀: yes, this is the motor of the wind turbine, located at the highest point of the turbine shaft. these are the blades. they look small now, but in reality, when I went to the wind turbine manufacturing plant, it was about 80 meters long. really huge. and the proportions might not be accurate. when we stood below it, it was incredibly impressive. it works like this: the wind comes from this direction and drives the blades to rotate. then the motor converts that kinetic energy into electrical energy. there are cables below that can directly transmit the electricity to a substation, where it's stepped up or down in voltage, and then sent to places on land where the electricity is used. that's how a wind turbine works. 👤: it's a very meaningful souvenir. ZLH🚀: yes. 👤: where are you planning to put it? ZLH🚀: before I brought this with me, I usually keep it next to my computer.

Rivian has released a new video of their pilot production line for their upcoming R2 SUV. "Before the start of production next year, we’re making sure R2 is ready to build at global scale, from parts design to end of line processes. This starts with validating each individual part and how they all fit together. The assembly process is refined through validation builds on our pilot line in California. The team from our manufacturing plant in Normal, IL rotates in to train on the new processes while providing critical feedback to our engineers to make vehicle assembly as simple and efficient as possible. Pilot line testing ensures R2 will be built to the highest standard of quality from the very beginning."

An Aussie cattle farmer speaking up about the atrocities known to us as Wind Turbines. Not environmentally friendly, not cost effective, an eyesore & destroying Australian land and wildlife. The estimated cost to dismantle and decommission a wind turbine in Australia ranges from $400,000 to $600,000 per turbine. We do not need renewables, when our country has an abundance of renewable and non-renewable energy sources.

"Our company is losing money on wind turbines. We will continue to lose money for the foreseeable future. There is, in fact, no future in wind power. The Green New Scam subsidies that were counted on to sustain bird-chopping, if not whale-killing, wind turbines are going away," Free Enterprise Project Director Steve Milloy will tell GE Vernova shareholders tomorrow. "Every wind turbine installed makes our country that much more dependent on Communist China and its monopoly on rare earth mineral processing."
