    Shoulda spent the extra money and used magnetically suspended fans.

    Interesting stuff. I suspect because the generators are "mobile" they didn't need many permits or approvals. How did the County/ MD let this happen without a development permit?

    It's on what was an old NG facility... Which probably had the same generator system...

    I seriously doubt they needed a permit. But curious - were they getting the NG from old wells or? I mean many have spitballed using old NG wells to feed a generator for off-grid - but I'm guessing this is the first time it's really been done commercially?

    This is becoming quite popular.

    An outfit out of Lloydminster has been steadily dropping modular units down for 4 years.

    Upstream data.

    Wasn't there a Beyonder that was planning to do this a while back? Wonder if that one ever got going.
