Helium-3 is made under extreme pressure and extreme heat. It was made when the moon ripped out of the Earth and flew into orbit around it, and continues to be made by solar winds down countless millions of years. Scientists can make only minuscule amounts, at a cost of billions of dollars, in the accelerator at Cern. Getting it from the moon – where it would be ‘mined’ from the dust and then heated to release the gas itself – would not be wildly expensive, nor beyond our ability. Helium-3 could supply all of the Earth’s energy needs way into the future by using fusion, which is both clean and safe.
Richard Branson (Losing My Virginity: How I've Survived, Had Fun, and Made a Fortune Doing Business My Way)
He served in the military in Operation Bright Star and some other ones, which explained the haircut and how he dressed, not T-shirts but always button-ups like he’s the boss of something. After he got home from the Middle East he used the benefits to get his business degree at Mountain Empire, which is how he knew about starting enterprises. He had a list of everything he was an expert on. Mrs. McCobb said anybody would be a fool not to hire him, which they did, about every other week: medical supply store, gas station, lawn and tree service, flooring company, and other places he worked while I was living there, the years before that, and still to this day, if I had to guess. The pay at those places was lousy and he was too overqualified, plus knowing a lot more than his supervisors. A man can’t stay long in a situation like that.
Barbara Kingsolver (Demon Copperhead)
The fleet Dubose oversaw initially consisted of five large barges. They each carried about 8,500 barrels of oil. Each barge had a skipper and crew who lived on the craft while it traveled from port to port. The first matter of business that Dubose focused on was keeping costs down. Fuel was the largest cost the barges incurred. Rather than let the skippers fuel up the ships when they wanted to, Dubose required them to call his office when they were running low on gas. Then he would call the local ports and find the best price for gas, sending the skipper to the best location. This helped cut costs right away. The tools from Deming helped Dubose go even further. Of all the charts he learned to make, he found that by far the most useful was called a run chart. Even decades later, he’d talk about run charts as if he were discussing a cherished family pet. “The best chart out of all of them . . . is that old-fashioned run chart. It’ll tell you where you’ve been and where you’re going,” he said. A run chart broke down all the costs that a barge would incur. It had a separate category for each cost: groceries, fuel, maintenance, ship damage, and supplies. The run chart allowed you to track these costs as they shifted from month to month, letting you see “where you’ve been and where you’re going.” Dubose was taught to look for cost spikes. The reason was simple: you figured out what caused costs to spike, and you avoided it. Then you figured out what caused costs to fall, and you replicated it.
Christopher Leonard (Kochland: The Secret History of Koch Industries and Corporate Power in America)
While traders might have seen what was coming, it appeared that the general public did not. O’Neill saw a gap in the market in early 2000. A giant gap. The price of gas options was cheap—too cheap to account for what was apparently coming down the road. In other words, the insurance policies against a sudden price spike were not as expensive as they ought to have been. So O’Neill started snapping up the options and holding on to them, knowing that they would become more valuable. As usual, he wasn’t just making a bet that prices were going to go up. He was primarily betting that markets were about to become more volatile. He built up a large position with his natural gas options and underliers that was “long volatility,” meaning that he bet volatility would increase. He assumed that the positions would provide a good return for Koch Industries. He was wrong. He grossly underestimated the riches that the coming volatility was about to deliver. Senior executives in Koch Supply & Trading realized that they could no longer pay their traders like engineers. There was a competition for talent, and too many well-trained people were bleeding off the Koch trading floor. There was one person who seemed to resist big paydays for the traders: Charles Koch. The business failures of the 1990s impressed on Charles Koch the need for humility among his workforce. The thinking went that it was the high-flying ambition and loose planning that led to many of the business losses at Purina Mills.

regulations, wastewater was managed in treatment facilities and no longer dumped into streams. Thus, the cost of pollution was captured in the cost of oil production. indeed, clean water from these treatment facilities was sold to nearby farmers for irrigation. on the other hand, these new technologies spewed large amounts of pollutants into the air. That air pollution was viewed as a cost of doing business; its environmental costs were ignored. oil prices collapsed in the 1980s. at the same time, air-quality regulations were becoming stiffer. operations at the Kern river oil field were again tenuous. yet once again, technological innovation provided a fix. oil companies built facilities to generate electricity that were fueled by natural gas, which burns cleaner than oil. This electricity was a source of revenue. The electric facilities also supplied steam that was used to increase production from the wells. in 2000, the Kern river oil field produced nearly 40 million barrels of oil. however, this level of production could not be sustained. since then, production has fallen to less than 30 million barrels each year (Figure 15.3). since 1899, over 2 billion barrels of oil have been extracted from the Kern river oil field. scientists estimate that this field could yield another 475 million barrels. But actually producing that much oil will depend on continuing improvements in technology and high oil prices. like many of the resources upon which we depend, oil is being consumed by humans at a rate that is thousands of times faster than the rate at which it is being produced. What are the factors that influence the total amounts of such resources? how do technology and economic factors affect the availability of those resources? What are the environmental consequences of their use? These questions are central to

Roads became a major industry unto themselves. Hundreds of thousands of men worked building them (including chain-ganged prisoners forced to break rocks for roads).36 More jobs were created in the gas stations, repair shops, restaurants, hotels, and motels that grew up alongside the new highways. Hundreds of other businesses grew fat supplying the raw materials to the road makers—cement, asphalt, gravel, and of course, sand. You may recognize the name of Henry J. Kaiser, or at least his last name, in those of the gargantuan enterprises he founded—Kaiser Steel, Kaiser Aluminum, the Kaiser Permanente health system, and the Kaiser Family Foundation. Kaiser was one of the twentieth century’s most powerful industrial moguls, but he started out literally at ground level, as a supplier of sand and gravel to the road-paving trade. Born to working-class German immigrants in New York in 1882, Kaiser quit school at thirteen and headed west to seek his fortune.

Operating a continuous manufacturing process Lots of manufacturing processes don’t involve individual items. Breweries, chemical manufacturers, gasoline refineries, food-processing plants, and even electrical power plants that burn coal or natural gas are examples of businesses that use continuous processes. With a continuous process, you essentially feed material into one end and get a steady stream of product out the other end.

Sher Mason was being followed.  She felt the prickly hair on the back of her neck as it stood straight up. What she didn’t understand was why anyone wanted to follow her. Sher ran a deli in the north suburbs of Northglenn, Colorado. Although her deli was popular, it wasn’t a high profile business. She was returning from a shopping trip in Denver, driving north on Interstate 25.  She hadn’t wanted to go downtown today, but needed some supplies so that she could start working on her fall display window.  Regardless, none of this offered an explanation as to why someone was following her.  She couldn’t see who followed her since it was after two in the afternoon, and there was a lot of traffic on the road. She looked again in the rear-view mirror, and saw that the black SUV changed lanes. It maneuvered closer to her. As she looked back to the road, she realized her exit came next. She jerked the wheel to the right to get off the interstate, and as she did, the black SUV exited also. What did she do now? She remembered a police station was only two blocks up the road on the left. She stomped on the gas pedal, and hoped no one was in the intersection coming up, and that the light would stay green. As luck had it, the light turned yellow as she sped through and made a quick left turn into the parking lot of the police station.  Glancing back her breath caught as she saw the SUV slow down.  Please keep

How Pressure Relief Valves Enhance Transformer Longevity and Reliability? Pressure relief valves (PRVs) are integral components in the safe and reliable operation of transformers. Transformers, which are vital for the efficient distribution of electrical power, are subjected to various stresses during operation. Over time, factors like temperature fluctuations, electrical faults, and other mechanical stresses can lead to internal pressure buildup, potentially damaging the transformer. This is where PRVs play a crucial role in safeguarding transformer longevity and reliability. Understanding the Function of Pressure Relief Valves A transformer’s primary function is to step up or step down voltage levels while ensuring safe energy transfer. Inside these transformers, insulating oil is used to cool and insulate the internal components. However, this oil can heat up and expand due to electrical faults, short circuits, or external temperature changes. In some cases, if the pressure becomes too high, it could cause damage to the transformer, resulting in catastrophic failure or even fire. This is where PRVs come in. These devices are designed to release excess pressure in the transformer tank, ensuring that the pressure inside the unit remains within safe limits. When the pressure inside the transformer rises beyond a certain threshold, the PRV opens, allowing gas and oil to escape and prevent the transformer from rupturing or experiencing other damage. The Role of PRVs in Enhancing Longevity By preventing overpressure conditions, Pressure relief valves protect transformers from mechanical stress, which could otherwise degrade their internal components. Excessive pressure can lead to insulation failure, seal ruptures, and even transformer explosions. The regular operation of a PRV ensures that pressure levels are always kept under control, mitigating the risk of such failures. Moreover, PRVs help maintain optimal oil conditions inside the transformer. When overpressure occurs and oil expands, it may lead to the release of gas and even oil leakage. PRVs help maintain the integrity of the transformer’s oil system, reducing the risk of oil contamination and maintaining its cooling and insulating properties. At Precimeasure, we manufacture Pressure relief valves in 2 sizes, 80 mm and 150 mm. It can be used in transformers of all sizes. The device is cast with aluminium, it has a maximum of 2 resettable switches for trip and are highly robust and reliable. Improving Reliability Through Regular Operation A transformer’s reliability hinges on its ability to operate continuously without interruption. If a transformer fails due to pressure-related issues, the entire electrical grid may experience outages, affecting homes and businesses. Pressure relief valves contribute to transformer reliability by preventing catastrophic failures. When they open in response to high pressure, they give operators the chance to address the issue before it becomes a critical problem. Regular testing and maintenance of PRVs ensure that these devices are always functioning as expected. This proactive approach further enhances transformer reliability, as it reduces the likelihood of unanticipated failures that could otherwise lead to costly repairs or replacements. Thus, Pressure relief valves play an essential role in enhancing the longevity and reliability of transformers. By preventing overpressure situations, reducing mechanical stress, and maintaining optimal operating conditions, PRVs help transformers perform efficiently and last longer. Ensuring the proper maintenance and functioning of these valves is an investment in the transformer’s health, ultimately ensuring a reliable power supply and minimizing the risk of costly failures.
