There may only be one forklift but there will be multiple shifts to take advantage of the capital cost of the forklift.
So, how much smokestack emission does this translate into?
Sometimes called coal by wire.
And all the scrubbers and activated carbon injection and...
Clean it up first.
No particulate matter on the user!
“Did they come before or after the Diesel-electric locomotives”
Hadn’t thought about the diesel electric locomotives. Wonder why they used that arrangement rather than linking the diesels to the wheels through a transmission and clutch.
Smoother operation, not jerking, which would stress the couplers................. ..................
Letourneau has been doing it for years. The sawmill I worked at in the 70s unloaded whole truckload of logs 8n one bite.
An electric backhoe? Not sure if I’d want one...
BULL$H!T!!! The cost of power used by the utility is passed on to all of the customers of said utility. Rate payers pay for it.

Ships are also using the diesel-electric method of propulsion. It allows them to swivel the propellers 360 degrees or thereabouts.
That’s neat, I’d like to see that!..............

An entrepreneur friend used to say the number one reason to start your own business; to steal from yourself!
I think he meant to run up tax-deductible expenses.
I've seen stories where seven year old Tesla cars are being scrapped because a new battery pack costs more than the residual value of the car. I wonder if this payback calculation takes battery depreciation into account?
“I’ve seen stories where seven year old Tesla cars are being scrapped because a new battery pack costs more than the residual value of the car.”
Odd? the older Teslas had an eight-year warranty on the battery. But when degraded into beater status, often cost-effective to part them out.

A very good question!
The Nissan Leafs are the same way.
Who’s gonna put a $8000 battery in a car like that?

The Nissan Leafs are the same way.
They are notorious for battery issues!
That said, you can get some exceptional deals on used ones.
There is a cottage industry replacing older leaf batteries.
PM me with that info if you would.
I want to get a Leaf for my grandson to drive to school.
The used ones with 30 mile remaining range are dirt cheap and the basic chassis is pretty good.
But I haven’t found anything to make it a reasonable number to refit a better battery pack.
If it were not for the need for recurring kickbacks they could last forever here in Oklahoma.
