      First thought: wow that’s such a windy/dangerous looking site.

      Second thought: no shit its windy that’s why they built it there

    2. I wonder if 100 mm sockets go missing as much as 10 mm sockets do?

      Or you could just build a nuclear plant instead and get stable green energy for decades, without ruining miles of nature.

      Extremely inefficient source of power, and can’t be built profitable without heavy subsidies from the government.

      Basically whitewashing energy to look good for others.

    4. If anyone familiar with this knows, is that a tensioner that they are using on the base studs for final torque? If so, do they have multiple tensioners running at the same time for an even torque down across the base or just go one by one? Also, is the midpoint clamp bolts just and hydraulic wrench – if so who is the manufacturer?

      I had no idea they work so fast and get these things up so quickly. That’s impressive.
