    Each section is only like 100'. I'll check again on Saturday.

    That's per tower, so a 5 tower unit runs around $30,000, and that's about as small as I've ever seen. I'll look some up in a minute.

    The total length of those run in 1/4 mile sections. You city folk think small when a section is used as measurement. I referred to the overall length,not a "section" of the unit.

    Yeah, those prices are more in the area I was thinking. After looking into it a little bit, I'm surprised that they use electricity for the drive system....when they already have all that water flow that could be utilized. It interests me in how they coordinate the power levels or gearing to keep everything lined up and functioning with minimal failure rate.

    I've had Runza before and wasn't impressed. I'm grabbing a quick snack now, what am I supposed to get again?

    Saw a Dodge Ram 1500 with the license plate DOGERAM today. All I could think was, "So truck!" "What full size!" "Much towing!"

    The problem with Echo Chambers. MIT exposes AI bot to a Reddit subforum and now all it thinks about is murder.
