A 46-foot tunnel boring machine grinding 110 feet under a Virginia harbor chewed a mastodon loose from the seabed and pumped it toward land as slurry, and an operator watching the mud for metal spotted the tooth riding by and stopped the line
1+ week, 1+ day ago (477+ words) Sep 26, at 5:00pm ET Tunnel boring machines aren’t picky eaters. Whatever sits in front of the cutterhead gets chewed up, blended with water and clay into a slurry, and pumped back to daylight through a steel pipe, and nobody looks twice…...
5,500 rotating solar panels stand 16.4 feet over a French cornfield that outgrew the open rows beside it in a drought year, 19.6% more dry matter and plants 79 inches tall against 63, because the shade cut the water the field sweats out under the sun
1+ week, 5+ day ago (565+ words) Sep 23, at 9:30am ET Corn is about as sun-hungry as crops get. Ask any farmer, or anyone who’s tried squeezing a few stalks into a shady backyard, and you’ll hear the same rule: full sun or don’t bother. So when a…...
While the White House has asked Congress for $152 million to reopen Alcatraz as a prison, 959 solar panels sit on the cellhouse roof tilted five degrees so they stay below the parapet, and the island that once took 2,000 gallons of diesel a week by boat now ships about 75 percent less
3+ week, 4+ day ago (522+ words) Sep 10, at 8:00am ET Something like a million and a half people a year get on a ferry in San Francisco, spend a couple hours walking through the Alcatraz cell house with an audio guide on, and go home. If you’ve…...
3,100 solar panels now float on the reservoir where 35,000 Ohioans get their drinking water, on four acres instead of the ten the same output needs on land, and the mayor who proposed it in 2019 retired two years later without seeing a single float go in
1+ mon, 6+ day ago (752+ words) By: Chema Bonilla Díaz Lima watched that from up the road. On August 12, 2026, the city energized 2 megawatts of solar panels floating on four acres of Twin Lake Reservoir, which is where its 35,000 residents get their drinking water. No county resolution,…...
While 82,000 solar panels now shade 11,200 cars at Disneyland Paris, the 36 gigawatt-hours those canopies make each year do not run Space Mountain — the Swiss builder sold the entire output, and the park never self-consumes a kilowatt-hour
1+ mon, 2+ week ago (1461+ words) Anyone who has parked at a theme park in August knows the walk from the car to the gate. The asphalt radiates, the door handle is too hot to touch when you come back, and the lot itself is the…...
Jay Leno's classic car law cleared the committee that killed the last version, and it would let 1976 to 1985 cars skip California's smog check for good, which is a window that leaves out almost everything in Leno's own garage
1+ mon, 2+ week ago (932+ words) Can you imagine owning 181 vehicles? If that already seems like a ton of maintenance and upkeep to you, now imagine having to get most of those vehicles to pass a smog test every few years. That’s the reality that Jay…...
Arizona bolted 2,556 solar panels over half a mile of irrigation canal on steel trusses that never touch the water, the first in the country to do it, and it costs about twice what putting the same panels on the ground would
1+ mon, 3+ week ago (1286+ words) Putting solar panels over an irrigation canal is one of those ideas that sounds too tidy to be true. Shade the water and less of it evaporates. Let the water sit underneath and the panels run cooler, which nudges output…...
A French grower planted four hectares of cognac vines under 6,000 solar panels hanging five meters over the rows, and when hail comes the whole array lies flat to shield the fruit, which costs him the geographical indication on every bottle he makes
1+ mon, 4+ week ago (929+ words) The rules behind a French wine label are famously fussy. Which grapes you can plant, how many vines per hectare, when you are allowed to pick, whether you can irrigate at all. One of those rules has been sitting on…...
A 535-horsepower Corvette with a 6.7-liter V8 was doing 130 on County Road 13 North in Florida, a two-lane road posted at 45, and the deputy who stopped it waved away the insurance papers and cuffed the driver
2+ mon, 5+ day ago (870+ words) Some of my favorite headlines are cops catching supercar drivers at incredible speeds on their radars. One, the audacity to drive that fast is just crazy. Two, they’re driving that fast!? Damn. Someone in a Chevrolet Corvette C8 recently proved it’s…...
Four 13,000-horsepower pumps drag 1.7 million gallons of the Pacific a minute through California's last nuclear plant and push it back into the cove 20 degrees warmer, and the law letting them do it runs out in 2030
2+ mon, 5+ day ago (1285+ words) It passed the Senate 29-10. Then the Assembly Energy Committee trimmed it, swapping a five-year commitment for two years funded out of existing PG&E volumetric performance fee revenue. Laird said on July 8 that the trim was a trade: “these amendments…...
