I'm always happy to see a great demolition upload, the intricacy of placing the charges in the exact spot, the many man hours to get it all set up just for a brief moment in time for people to witness, it's a thing of beauty to behold as it all comes together in a brief few seconds, just awesome The issue I see here though, almost all of the structures shown in this video were coal fired plants, I can understand the need to replace outdated facilities, and the remediation of the property, but, what was put in the former structures place to provide electrical energy, or was the facility left to the environment to take over, humans use huge amounts of electricity, where is the energy coming from, a nuke? Hydro? Another coat plant?
Natural gas plants are fairly compact relative to coal fired ones. You may have one or more within the bounds of a major city and not even know it. Natural gas fueled generating stations are mostly replacing those plants. Some slack is picked up by renewables.
@@absurdengineering thanks for the feedback, I do hope that the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania sees this and starts using gas fired plants to conduct energy
@@Pissedoffdetective I believe it. We had almost two weeks of no sunshine and sub-freezing temps here in central Indiana. Solar and windmills ain't gonna cut it.
I'm sure many of these were because they were old, outdated, and ineffective, stuff like that. Some of them probably wouldn't have been demolished if it was worth fixing them up and modernizing them. Some might've been torn down for new ones to be built.
@@walterzoomie Coal is getting replaced by natural gas, not by renewables. Natural gas is easily portable and (at the moment) plentiful and relatively cheap (much cheaper than coal) thanks to Bush-era fracking deregulation and lower extraction and maintenance costs. While solar and wind sources are increasing over the last few years, their increases (in terawatt hours per year) are comically tiny compared to natural gas, which is the US grid's largest fuel source and still growing.
It’s not. Those are run down, useless remnants. The stations have not been operating for years now. They have been replaced mostly by natural gas-fired plants that take much less space for the same capacity. Many peaker plants are now within city limits and people don’t even notice unless they know what to look for.
We have wind turbines, solar panels and batteries that can be installed in a modular fashion. They are better than traditional power stations. Don't consume any water, for one.
All I see is future rolling blackouts because we’re literally blowing up our energy production. I’ve already had several people who work in that industry all say that we’re basically screwed.
On the positive side, a lot of nuclear plants were saved or are being restarted after facing decommissioning. The US just needs to get good at big infrastructure projects like nuclear plants again. So much know-how and parts of supply chains have been lost since the 1970s.
Utter nonsense. Installed generating base in the US is constantly growing. Those old relics just take up space. They have sat disused for a good while now. Rolling blackouts due to insufficient generation capacity will be a problem if we run out of natural gas ie. not anytime soon. If anything, the distribution grid is a choke point. We have plenty of capacity now. Those demolitions are a tiny sliver of the pie. Let’s not get all worked up over nothing.

No capacity payment, no power stations. The grid operators hold an auction every year, and if nobody wants your power, you can run as a pirate, like Keystone and Conemaugh and lose money, or run as a peaker and lose money, or shut it down and tear it down.
Fabulous demolitions!!! Thanks for catching them on tape. 😊😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤

Look for that one in a movie someday.
Great way to start off a Friday!
How about a cooling tower demo comp?

Wind, solar and gas. And now increasingly batteries, although they don't generate energy. But they can provide reliable capacity.
Another great video! Thanks CDI!
Glad you enjoyed it!
This will come back to haunt us some day...
Already has in many parts of the USA. Brown Outs everywhere this winter.

No, it won't because they're all outdated, and they aren't nuclear power plants.

They're demolishing very old, very inefficient plants (and yes, the kind the contribute to climate change) that are being replaced with better ones!
Towers fall
Were these coal power plants?
Yes, they were.
6:18 love your videos
What is the purpose of the pre-charges before the main detonations? Can't figure it out.
The pre-charges are used as a strategic measure to catalyze the explosion, and are progressively detonated on supports throughout the structure.
@@LOLMAN9538Thanks but I'm kinda dense. What does 'catalyze the explosion ' mean?
@@bertferri-5685 Basically, it's saying that the pre charges are preparing the building for the bigger charges to come in and bring it down.
@@LOLMAN9538 Ah okay, got it. Much appreciated!

Shoutout to all the cameras getting coated in dust and dirt and somehow surviving.
I love your videos
glad to see your bill going up

Glorious😁

That’s awesome. Maybe that will stop somewhat of Climate Change, if that’s one reason why of Climate Change!
For every American plant torn down China puts two larger coal plants online.
They are the reason there is climate change ofc and the reason why i dont get Snow
I don't think that's the reason
They didn't need Godzilla lol ?😂😂
