Before he was part of American Pickers, Mike ran a bike shop in Eldridge, Iowa. Even then, he had a nice collection of high wheel bikes, an American Star, and a shaft drive bike. He was happy to talk about the stuff too! Nice guy.
I think we should give it another try
90% of the stills removed by prohibition made fuel alcohol… and forced a national switch to dependence on Rockerfellers newly introduced gasoline
I love this show so much 😂
Fun fact, it wasn’t just the aborigine or native Americans that were target of the genocide and extermination campaign but Mexico as well, Mexico was as much a damper to westward expansion as Indian territory, and equally viewed as a threat to the US’s interests. A quote describing this imperial goal is described by New York herald writer James Gordon in his description of the Mexican American war “ The tide of emigration will set towards Mexico, and the imbecile race that now inhabits that country is as sure to melt away at the approach of Anglo-Saxon energy and enterprise as snow before a southern sun. Their fate will be similar to that of the Indians of this country--the race, before a century rolls over us, will become extinct” - New York Herald Another good quote is in the book by Maria Burton, A Mexican writer during the conquest and war of Mexico To me they are all alike, Indians, Mexicans, or Californians, they are all horrid. However our just laws and smart lawyers will soon " freeze them out." That as soon as we take their lands from them they will never be heard of any more, and then the Americans, with God's help, will have all the land that was so righteously acquired through a just war and a most liberal payment in money. Ain't that patriotism and Christian faith for you?" Or as Winston Churchill stated in the most general statement of the event ; “ it was the age of Americas manifest destiny, it was unfortunate that Mexico stood in its path”
Where do you put the waste then?
It’s crazy because most most nuclear power plants can store the waste of about 100 years in one small room. One small object of nuclear power can give power for multiple family lifetimes it’s not like fossil fuels where the waste goes the atmosphere and dissipates, nor like solar panels which will waste landmass through entire junkyards of decayed panels, not like wind power which kills endangered or near endangered birds like eagles, lowering the balance of ecosystems. They al have their issues but nuclear power takes up the least amount of space, produces a reasonable amount of waste that is manageable for the foreseeable future (100’s of generations, and doesn’t destroy the environment, or contribute to global warming. That said, human error is the limit with how far nuclear power can go.
If i had that Schwinn, I would tear it down completely and rebuild it with new up to date parts found on ATB'S and MTB'S with 'Motorcycle' type drum brakes, With multispeed gears, Plus new up to date tires found on today's beach cruisers.
Died
Shit is annoying
I find the dancing very cringe personally, but to each his own
That's where I sit too on this issue and wish more diehard baseball fans sat, but a lot of people seem to love it, especially people who would have never watched a baseball game before, it also gives talent that didn't make the league another place to make money from this sport
And then promptly began one if the largest crime epidemics in the nation’s entire history
I love the old 1950s style
Its dangerous because they’re businesses. Properly disposing of nuclear waste required tens of millions of dollars. That effects the net profits of those companies. Companies will cut costs and corners where ever they can get away with, especially if its cheaper to pay scrying wyes to look away. Nuclear waste absolutely cannot be allowed to be dumped anywhere but in secure sites tht cannot effect the ecosystem or people and making nuclear power our main source of energy opens up the market in a way tht makes it impossible for a few companies to hold a monopoly. Hate them if you want, and you should want to hate them, but monopolies are much easier to regulate and keep an eye on then an open market.
Bros forgetting the barrels of radioactive glowing green slime
That can be turned back into rods.
@@nikkiclifton579wait actually, so it’s not made of the few impurity’s that are now radioactive from being already used in the rod?
The worst reactor accident in history wasn’t caused by some inherent problem with nuclear power, it was caused by political meddling. Keep bureaucrats away from scientific fields and suddenly there are fewer problems
We don't even have to use uranium we can use thorium which is way better. And it's impossible to make a nuclear missile out of it. The reason we use uranium is specifically because the government wanted a dual purpose material. It could be used for both nuclear power and making weapons.
Solid points . . . Now look at this pen **flash**
I always laugh when people freak out about the "radioactive waste!" That nuclear leaves behind. Because. Like, we already use coal. Which puts out 10x the amout of radioactive material, and they put it directly into the atmosphere.
No battery plus 2 generator 1is for the motor 1just run a bigger motor you could drop the battery on 2a starter motor
We should be using it more, yes
I'm just saying radroaches, death claws, ghouls, and raiders seem more survivable than most current US cities.
and he was never seen again
Facts
Part of the problem with nuclear is "highly regulated" you might believe that but nuclear waste has been dumped in landfills all over America. Now, if we actually did what we said we do. Nuclear would be a very efficient form of energy. Spent uranium can be melted down and reused in new reactor rods. But more interesting is the concept of incorporating small amounts as an energy source into capacitors. We can use these capacitors to dump current into grids like a self recharging power wall. With enough of these walls, and the proper timing, theoretically you could create grid redundancy and prevent brown outs or even blackouts. The radiation would be minimal enough that you could probably bury these boxes around various poles and given enough of them, replace coal and other carbon heavy power plants. The only downside is maintenance and boxes being overly distant.
Basically the biggest problem with nuclear is human accountability
@@jackavalmasovnon that but even moreso considering that a nuclear diamond battery inside of a capacitor has multiple problems. 1. A NDB would outlive the capacitor. 2. The NDB would take over a 1,000 years to lose its charge. 3. NDB's have never successfully been made on a commercial level. 4. Each box would take roughly 5 days to build up a charge large enough to be usable in the grid. 5. It's so not cost effective that it would take government subsidizing it to keep it alive. That means electricity now becomes a tax and what happens to people that don't pay taxes? Armed government employees kick your door in and take you to prison. 6. If you apply a carbon footprint structure to the taxes, you have now effectively made citizens indentured servants the moment they are born.
Could solve out power issues creating tremendous amounts of power with low environmental impact but through fear mongering we have largely avoided it like the plague allowing archaic power producers to remain in control
I know fuck all about this kind of thing, but I find it suspicious as hell that pur government is so ready and willing to make more nuclear bombs but will not use the resources to give people renewable energy.
its not technically renewable, but it is about the most abundant energy dense fuel we have. and it doesn't use a lot of it, compared to contemporary fossil fuels anyway. its just the nuclear fear-mongering and the chernoble incident, mixed with a bit of lobbied coal misinformation that has led to nuclear power having next to no public acceptance, despite modern nuclear reactors being vastly safer than any coal powerplant.
the biggest enemy of nuclear isnt leftisst green bleeding hearts..but big oil
It's not renewable however is probably the best we can do
It’s damn near close to renewable. Unlike Fossil Fuels, Fissile Elements can be found all over the solar system. So if we ever start building interplanetary infrastructure, Nuclear reactors will be the most effective way to power stuff, especially past Mars when solar power becomes fucking useless.
My dad works at a power plant and has over 20 years of experience, i can justly say for a fact it is renewble
@@TaysTyy_CrusTcan you please define the term "renewable"? I don't think we speak about the same thing here
Bro was about to turn into a skeleton 💀
The big reason its not used more is because infrastructuore for building them is terrible, often going years beyond schedule and billions over. The true cost should be about $1 billion, which is another reason it isnt used as much cause its very expensive.
the real reason is because of the green lobby doing everything it can to stall it from moving forward. Initial investment means nothing because they cost virtually nothing to operate.
For smaller countries with smaller GDPs it makes sense why it wouldn't be built but for global superpowers (like the US) there is NO excuse why it shouldn't be built. Would there be an increase in carbon emissions to build the thing? Yes, obviously, but the energy output and how little emissions the actual reactor releases greatly outweighs why we shouldn't build it.
Nuclear is so efficient it makes companies less money. That’s why they hate it.
yeah it is the least dangerous per unit of power created too, its also more reliable then solar and wind which has some cons depending on location. As for waste disposal the waste can be placed in certain places, remember it came out of the ground to begin with so if its put in the ground correctly its pretty safe. ofc you can not let it get into ground water and crap but there are places in the world where that isnt an issue. Also the amount of waste is little enough that it isnt especially more dangerous then oil or chemical spills which are far more common and release far more pollution
If it's cheap, efficient, and can replace coal and natural gas it's dangerous, or so says big oil
actually surprisingly enough it's oil mogles investing in nuclear now. Climate change is no longer a "Future problem I won't live to see" problem, but a "Oh God oh geez it's here" problem. Those lobbying against it the most is the green lobby.
Big oil isn't competing with nuclear energy. We aren't even close to making plastics, gasoline, or batteries with nuclear energy. There is an argument to be made for coal, but nuclear energy and oil serve 2 very different functions. Big green energy would be put out of business overnight though if nuclear energy became more popular.
big oil isnt in charge tho, its the government, and instead of doing nuclear energy there doing, f**king solar panels,, Wwwwwiiiiitch to produce and replace is far worse then coal.
@stopthestalking6484 I was referring to natural gas and propain as big oil, nuclear would put other energy companies out of business with cheaper prices being so efficient. They do not want that
it's not oil stopping nuclear. it's the green lobby. Big oil magnates are the ones trying to lobby for permission to make nuclear plants.
Btw coal burning has emitted more radioactive particles in one year than nuclear energy and bombs combined has ever done since it was conceived in the early 40s
Meltdowns are also nearly impossible in newer models. The ones melting down have been in older models from the cold war
Even those there's only ever been two meltdowns in history
@@sociopathsora3463 chernobyl, fukishima and 3 mile island(it was a partial meltdown bit one none the less.
And chernobyl only happened because they failed to follow protocol and it was built pretty shawdy for a reactor
Japan tho
The Fukushima disaster only happened due to corruption, lack of upholding regulations and two literal fucking natural disasters all piling up to make one big disaster. Even then not a single person at the power plant died from the actual disaster itself. Moreso, from the radiation.
That was because of an earthquake, on Normal occasions, nuclear power plants do not melt down
Fukushima was caused by an ignorant company who thought the tsunami that caused the meltdown wouldn't happen. They cut corners to save money and ignored safety warning, it will never happen again. Nuclear power is the safest and most efficient alternative there is, wind and solar don't produce enough power and can't work all day and all weather.
@@Lapis-_-In the event of war, destroy a solar farm and no biggie, we just lost our power. Destroy a nuclear plant and you have a meltdown.
@@Lapis-_- they do have and will again. Still no good disposal of waste. How about thorium?
It literally is the most safe and resourceful energy source
@@MrBooblo086 but power
@@MrBooblo086 its also incredibly not
Your right it is incredibly expensive... to start up. Then it's cheap and makes way more money than it costed.
@@MrBooblo086 it's true the start up costs are very large but the day to day maintenance. Paying workers and cleaning the waste is actually cheap especially considering they are typically only refueled after 20-30 years meaning fuel isn't costly and they produce alot of power. All this taken into account and they make a substantial profit that could be used to build more or lower electricity costs. I spent three months researching this for a paper on cost efficient energy production.
@MrBooblo086 Yeah, there are definitely better things in the future, for example, the first successful fusion power test occurred last year. I give it 30 to 50 years before this is widespread but the future is fickle and anything can happen. Nuclear fission will definitely be replaced. The question is whether that's soon or far in the future.
And not a minority on site. Just like the good old days 🤣
the hardboiled egg😭 comedic genius
....operation paper clip...Its a shame most people dont understand this ...but its funny as hell
