I was imagining 18 BDS Blown Nitrous injected 11.1 compression 8500rpm small journaled 327 small blocks in various 50's and 60's Hot Rods on a 1/4 mile drag strip 18 lanes wide !!! AHHHHHH - The SWEET Smell of NITRO ! Friggin snow flakes are clueless to the beautiful sound and song of a fine tuned V-8 Gas Engine.
oops I screwed up my units.. I was measuring in cc earlier The mining truck displacement is 6490 cubic inches compared with the widely used Chevy 350..
I was wondering :). I mean I just hauled a load of carbon neutral wood I’m going to burn next winter in my 440ci dodge. That’s probably good for an emission or two. Isn’t everything we burn carbon neutral? Where did the carbon come from originally : D
Fuel burn rates are ~ 150 litre's per hour or roughly 44 gallons an hour imagine having to fill up your car every 30 minutes and you get a feel for how much energy a mine truck burns.. now consider the Ore Crushers and Processors and then shipping the Ore to the lithium extractors (a chemical process?) Many chemicals are produced by refineries....unless we are talking about acid extraction....

There is probably more steel in two trucks than an offshore oil platform.. And those move once the well is constructed so a single rig will have a trail of producing energy streams.
Omg18 whole 350cc? Who the hell has a 350cc engine. That’s 1 6.3l engine. Which is 1 average Chevy truck
I was picturing 18 C6 corvettes chained together

not even the volume of one cylinder.....well maybe Cylinder 1 at TDC...

I started with 351 but I figured 350 would be maningful to a larger audience
A mine typically has numerous trucks running a circle from the Pit to the Ore Processor 24-7.
It’s a complete Joke. I have worked in the industry.
Now California is Forcing Battery back ups for solar. Soon (try) to force EV’s.
It makes no sense.. Control is the end game.
Simple Quotable Fact: A mine truck uses more fuel in a DAY than you probably use in a YEAR.
Lots of energy used in the production of the trucks and tires as well.
There is probably more steel in two trucks than an offshore oil platform.. And those move once the well is constructed so a single rig will have a trail of producing energy streams.
