530kW motor checks? !!

Ummmm ?


I've been simmering these last few hours of Sunday night thinking about these motor tests and stuff.

I could never understand politics, and how they usually ALWAYS seem to make a total hash of everything?!


Cannot allow a coal fired power station to operate, because it's environmentally unfriendly.

So, someone, somewhere, signs the order to then close it.

Ah, and now they're now green!


Actually no, never thought to think that MAYBE some of that equipment inside could actually be reused?

Oh dear.

That's rather an oversight, and not so environmentally friendly.


It's the demolition company to their great credit now that's trying to find a reuse for varied things.

Well done to them.


They are the more environmentally thoughtful, than the people who decided to close the site!


But, it's not so easy now, as what works, and what doesn't - plus, how can one even test anything??

If someone had the foresight to just think, it would have been so much easier.

All reusable equipment could have been checked while still in operation, then given a test certificate thus making it much easier for anyone (like myself) wanting to try and reuse it, after the site was closed.

Safer too.


But of course in the real world, sadly that doesn't seem to happen.


Oh, but now one can have a 'right to repair'!

Ok, but consumers have been complaining for YEARS that when their fridge, cooker, TV etc conked out, they found it impossible sometimes to get it fixed or the manufacturer would not supply spare parts and "Buy a new one" was the usual response.


Interesting, the sudden change now of thinking.

Shame the landfills are clogged up with lots of broken appliances that could have been fixed years ago.


Maybe these people in politics do actually live in a bubble, and never see the real world .....until it's rather too late.

Perhaps this is also why so much good stuff got scrapped and still seems to, as certain people can't be bothered to do anything else with the 'waste'?


Oh it's now Monday.

This week, possibly things may improve?!!!!


Watching the repair of that lift motor was really an inspiration.

I've always tried to repair many things.

In Russia, they obviously always mend it too, and make do again.


Here, (possibly) someone would have just said......Oh,

sorry, you need a new motor!

(...there are no spares available for that old one now)

Ummmm ?
