“Must be from all that global warming that I keep hearing about.”
The no such thing as global warming anymore! That’s why they now call it “climate change!”
Lol, it,just blindsided them... out of nowhere.
I was wa5ching an old documentary last night called operation high drop, where explorers went into the south pole in 1948. Even back then they were whining about “climate change” (of,course back,then they thought everyone was gonna freeze to,death, not burst into,flames like,today’s “scientists” onmthe c,imate claim.
Better contact Valdez and let em know it’s coming so,they can stock up on dawn dishwashers liquid
Yes, here in New York, we are wading down 5th Avenue in 2 feet of sea-water from the melted ice caps. Just like Al Gore predicted.
so that’s where all our snow went this Winter , the local nuts think it’s Global Warming
Ask the commies what happened to their global warming lie?

The tanks at Valdez that are used, the 14 east ASTs are 250 diameter x 48 or 50 feet tall, I can’t remember, exactly, seems they were designed with an area normal snow load, so I’m not certain why they aren’t just clearing the area around the shell/ roof vents.....
They used to distribute the warm incoming oil in each of the ASTs to keep the skin temperature of the roof deck warm enough the snow slid off.
10 people working to clear snow shouldn’t take real long. Sounds like the crews are slow walking the work, which is typical for alaska work.
I don’t know why they don’t hook up a hot oil truck and heat the oil in each of the ASTs until they are warm enough to melt the snow enough that it falls off, and the roof vents thaw. It’s standard practice everywhere else, and would be both faster, and cheaper. Would also be much safer, as there wouldn’t be people up on a the roof deck, which was never meant to have people working up there for extended periods. Lots about this story doesn’t add up........
Speaking of fumes recovery...ExxonMobil has reportedly launched a pilot program that will use excess natural gas to power cryptocurrency mining.
Interesting observations. Thanks.
We need to fill that pipeline back up! The infrastructure and willpower in Alaska is there and ready to go.
If only the pinko-greenies would let us do it!
The pipeline is full, it’s just not running at maximum flow capacity. The flow has been in decline for quite a while.
Yeah. I understand.
