Actually, the pine beetle kill is fine for lumber. The reason is that the beetle does not penetrate deep into the tree. It is just under the bark. What actually kills these trees is that mold that the beetles carry. As such, these trees standing there are no different than drying timber before it is turned into lumber.
Here in Colorado, we have loads of ppl wanting to go for the spruce, and some of the pine. BUT, the pines tend to be smaller, so those that are interested have been bio-energy companies, along with trim. Right now, I have been removing the white trim and putting in 'blue pine' trim, with 1/4 round oak trim.
It is nice that Paul Allen is actually funding things that really help society. Finding coral that can deal with the heat is really important to a lot of ocean life.
Wrong. We own a few shares for our sons. We also have 10 kw solar City and 2013 model s -85. Big believer/supporter, but as to the stock, that was what our sons wanted, and I was not capable of reading technical stuff for most of the last decade. Iow, we bought it, but don't do much with it.
Seriously, our forests are loaded with dead trees due to beetle kill. Start harvesting the heck out of them and replant. This is much cheaper than bombing.
It is far far cheaper to recycle steel than it is to dig up and process iron, molybdenum, manganese, chromium, and nickel. This is why China is stopping importing things like paper and electronics, but continues to import metals.
BUT, I agree about wanting cheap energy. That will always be the case. That is why we need things like SMRs.
that is why I suggested to take it up the great lakes and have one of the mills cut it and recycle it. Transporting that metal all over really makes little sense. However, the ship can be tugged through the panama, and then up into the great lakes. There are multiple steel mills right on the great lakes. From there, use robotics to cut it up. And even if they lose money on the enterprise, there are multiple ships coming, including subs and other AC. By setting up robotics to cut up ships and recycle, it should enable future ones to be done cheaply.
Secured does NOT mean in hand. It simply means that he has access to the money.
BUT, he damn will needs to have proof that he had, at least, talked to others and they gave at least a verbal yeah. But I would think for 82B, he would want that in writing.
Musk would never be so foolish as to borrow that kind of money from China where they would have full access to everything.
I have said for a long time that the Google boys would back him if needed, but still. 82B is a lot.
Well, at this time, I think that it is fair to say that there are not too many institutions with 82 Billion on hand. Or do you believe that there are loads of ppl and companies that have 82B in cash?
why is buying at 150 wrong?
Right now, the stock IS overvalued, however, we are in it for the long haul.
I am a supporter of Musk, but that does not mean that I will invest wildly into a losing operation. However, with the massive manipulation that is going on by the shorters, I expect that this will run all over the place. So, far better to sit tight and let Musk do what he is good at: build up a winning company.
This why they need to simply use robots to cut it up and then smelt it. Easy enough, to raise the temp to say 1100 and then drain off various metals including copper. The problems come when ppl try to recycle everything, including plastics, etc. Just burn them, but capture the output.
The carriers still have military value. As such, far better to just recycle that. And in this case, it could actually help any of the steel mills with lowering their costs.
Once the carrier is stripped of the nukes, it should be loaded with a great deal of wonderful steel and just raw elements. Take it to one of the new up/coming steel mills on the great lakes and let them have it. They will tear it apart and then recycle it.
So, you are repeating what I am saying.
Yes, we do not know. However, there are 2 interesting links. First 16 banks said that Musk never approached them. The second one has Saudi Arabia saying that they were not interested.
Considering all of Musk Silicon valley billionaire friends, it still remains possible. But even I have to say, that this does NOT look good right now.
Slashdot Mirror
Both China and Russia are blowing big bucks on space weapons while claiming they want to stop it. What a joke.
As such, I'm sure that his meaning is different. succeed in obtaining (something), especially with difficulty. "the division secured a major contract"
Vs
seek to guarantee repayment of (a loan) by having a right to take possession of an asset in the event of nonpayment. "a loan secured on your home"
Reads to me like the first, not the later.

Slim to no chance of elon using Chinese money to buy Tesla. It would cost him the company.

Your nation stopped taking it from most nations. Personally, I'm happy about that. And separating it is not the real issue.

Well, that sux. Thanx for the good links.

Yeah, I have to say that is surprising. They knew that he was thinking of going private, but apparently do not know the details.
That is concerning.

Most nations are not capable of building an Aircraft Carrier. That is why CHina bought Russia's because they did not have the tech know-how.

robotics.
Seriously, the coming ships are ideal for breaking down with robotics and simply recycling.
The carriers still have military value. As such, far better to just recycle that. And in this case, it could actually help any of the steel mills with lowering their costs.

Interesting. Thanx.
Careful.
Look at the link above you from some AC. Basically, banks knew nothing about it until AFTER musk claimed he secured money. If he secured from Saudi Arabia and is just now trying to get a better deal, then he is fine. BUT, if he claimed he had financing when he had nothing, he will likely be in trouble.
huh. That IS an interesting link, and the first time that I have seen anything on here that would indicate that Musk might have future issues.
