Okay, so let's put renewables into perspective. This single digger consumes a quarter of a full size fuel truck a day. In a mine with multiple diggers and supporting vehicles. 1 hour of fuel is 560 liters diesel. 1 liter = 10kWh, so 5600 kW average power 1 solar panel = 400Wp, so 14000 panels 1 hectare holds 3000 panels, so 4.5 hectares But we want to operate 24/7 Assuming 8 full sun hours/day: 42000 panels 13.5 hectares plus 1 hectare for the required storage. And this is just ONE of these diggers. Now put your tesla into the picture and scale things into perspective. Do you even think your 10 solar panels and EV even makes a dent when you have a mine with dozens of vehicles driving around? Oh and in case you are wondering. A single SMR reactor can provide 300 MW of continuous power and could very well supply the entire mine of energy. It would also require a mere corner in the mine and could be installed in 40 truckloads. It would have an annual saving of hundreds, if not thousands, of full size diesel trucks.

Can you imagine how cheap goods would be if the free energy technologies that were not stolen from us , from Teslas work to the countless inventors who were either bought off or intimidated. Poverty would be eliminated overnight. Not to mention what it would do for the environment

They should make an electrical version and supply the power directly, on sights where it's possible ofc! Wonder how much cheaper it would get!

@matt3789 4 ай бұрын

They wont pay retail price like us for fuel though. They'll negotiate cheaper deals.

This is why mining, forestry, farming, shipping, even oil rigs and refineries are switching to electric and renewables. The largest, most advanced, deep-off-shore wind turbines are being installed to power off-shore oil rigs. In my area, the local LNG plant is converting their tugboats to battery electric because of the savings on fuel and maintenance. The local ferry service already has new ferries that can switch to battery electric once they finish installing the electricity to the ports (they're currently diesel electric).

Not insane at all. Per year 7million to operate, each machine needs to generate over 7 million and your good to go no matter how much equipment in possession. My off the wall thinking.

Yes, but that makes total sense you wouldn’t be digging there if it wasn’t worth ten times as much as what this costs.

It’s all economics. Break down the total budget, split it all across where the money needs to go , all that’s left is net. Once calculated… JUST DO IT.

Then they pay the driver as much as a few bolts on it cost to repair and wonder why they don't take care of it.

@AgentSmith911 5 ай бұрын

Probably close to ten million dollars per year per unit when all costs are included, such as labor, insurance, maintanence, parts, inspections, downtime etc. So if they have ten of those, that's 100 million dollars per year. No wonder electricity prices are high lol

@dailydrivensedans4875 7 ай бұрын

The cost of fuel isnt anywhere near that. Not only do fuel costs greatly vary by lication but theyr not pay the cost you see at the pump....

@AdrianSalomo 6 ай бұрын

Well, actually they probably pay a fraction on diesel in comparison to the average consumer. Fuel cost consists primarily of middlemen and taxes. These Reels just through out information without telling us how they obtained it nor the limitations of their validity.

So now that we know that saying that there is several more of these machines at this mine !! Let's say their is 4 of these machines and it is over 5 million in just fuel so let's say a total of 7 or 8 million per machine per year so for 4 machines at 8 million a piece is 32 million dollars a year to keep these machines operating !!! That's not counting land costs or dump trucks, freight costs all sorts of other costs right !!!! So imagine how much money they make each year from mining because you know they aren't just scraping by !!!! So one machine costs 8 million to run then it better do around 16 million a year or more in material for the company or it is not worth its weight in scrap !!! I know my numbers are way off but he says in the video welcome to mining !!!! And sure it's expensive but don't act like it's not worth it !!!! And of course it has its ups and downs of profit !!! I'm just saying you guys wouldn't do it or run those machines if it wasn't profitable !!!! That's all I'm trying to say !!!

Quick tip for making better shorts, stop using the filter that turns down the music when you speak, instead just turn the music down in general, noone wants to listen to "Thats around 5,65 million a year- DU DUUUUUUUN" every time you stop speaking for 2 seconds

Now that is actually why they always drill test holes before they actually dig a site. That machine has to be working towards something; and when it hits minerals, the profits are enormous compared to smaller machines.

@jasonnelms4556 4 ай бұрын

That's why we used 2 electric rope shovels at the mine I retired from the electrical shop. Our biggest was a Bucyrus 495HR we called " The Man Killer"(it earned that name killing 2 maintenance workers), but it was huge, and another electric I can't remember that was a little smaller but still huge. Only diesel shovels we used were 2 smaller Hitachi shovels that are more like huge excavators like this 9800 here and a pair of monster LeTourneau 1850 front end loaders to move earth.

This is minor to the energy used to process the ore though. All those hundreds of tonnes of rock scooped up has to be crushed into a fine material snd then separated into it's various elements. There is a reason why the mining industry accounts for such a significant amount of global emissions.

I like how people say corporate greed when they have no idea for much it cost to run machines and keep people employed. So it's like 6.5 mil to run one of these a year. How many people chipped in to buy this? You expect the company to give you all the profit and you don't put a penny into it.
