James Byrd Jr., a divorced father of three and former salesman, was renowned for his infectious positivity and sociable nature. Whether it was a lively gathering or a mundane day, James infused life into every moment. Often, he could be spotted singing and dancing while tending to his lawn. “He was the funniest person you’d ever want to mee,” recollected Flora Bartee, a neighbour of James’ parents. “Everyone around here knew him. There was no ingrained hatred or anything like that,” recollected his sister, Clara Taylor.

Despite a turbulent past that included a six-year prison stint for theft and parole violation, James was determined to redeem himself upon his release in 1996. Settling into an apartment at the Pineview public housing project in Jasper, Texas, he seemed to be on an upward trajectory. However, an arm injury sustained years prior and a seizure disorder rendered him unable to work, relying solely on disability benefits. To supplement his income, he took up lawn-mowing gigs around town.

On the 7th of June, he attended his niece’s bridal shower at his parents’ home in Jasper. Before leaving, he gave his older sister, Stella Brumley, a big hug and she reminded him to get ready for Father’s Day. It was family tradition that all eight of the siblings would gather for the Sunday service at their parents’ church. “I got my suit in the cleaners. I’m going to be ready,” he reassured his sister and headed down the driveway, ready to walk home.

As he walked down the dirt road, three men pulled up alongside him in their truck. They were: 31-year-old Lawrence Russel Brewer of Sulphur Springs, 23-year-old Shawn Allen Berry of Jasper and 23-year-old John William King, also of Jasper. All three men had served time in prison and had ties to the Ku Klux Klan or the Aryan Brotherhood.

The Aryan Brotherhood got its start on the West Coast in the 1960s. It boasts of members throughout prisons in the United States and exhibits an intense hatred of African Americans and Jews. They considered prison ripe recruiting grounds for the organization. The Aryan Brotherhood has ties to the Aryan Nation, an Idaho-based paramilitary organization that advocates racial violence and white supremacy.

James jumped into the truck bed and the men first of all drove to a convenience store east of Jasper. There are a number of different versions of events as to what happened next in regards to who was driving the vehicle and who decided James’ fate. What is known, however, is that the men drove James up to a small clearing in the woods on Huff Creek Road. Here, James was dragged from the truck and severely beaten, urinated on and defecated on.

During the beating, John reportedly said: “We’re starting The turner Diaries early.” The Turner Diaries was written in 1978 by William Pierce, the head of the National Alliance, one of the largest and most organized neo-Nazi groups within the United States. It is kind of like a bible for right-wing extremists and calls for the violent overthrow of the Federal government as well as the systematic killing of Jews and people of colour.

Following the brutal beating, James was spray painted on the face and then chained by his ankles to the pickup truck, a symbolic remnant of slavery. The men then drove the truck, dragging James behind it. The three men didn’t stop driving as James’s flesh ripped from his body as they weaved from one side of the road to the other side.

They didn’t stop after they came around a sharp turn and James’s body bounced into a ditch at the side of the road, hitting the ragged end of a concrete culvert just below his arm. They didn’t stop when the impact ripped James’s arm, shoulder, neck and head from the rest of his body. They continued to drive for a further mile with just half of James’s body. They finally stopped the truck after three miles, when they ran out of paved road.

After investigators arrived at the church where James’s mutilated body was found, they set up the task of identifying him and retrieving the rest of his body. It wouldn’t be long until his other remains were discovered. His head, neck, and right arm were recovered along the road leading up to the church. There were smears of blood running along the road as well as James’ dentures and pieces of flesh that had ripped from his body here and there. Along the bloody trail, investigators found James’ tennis shoes, shirt, wallet and keys.

The trail of James’ life coming to a cruel end was clear. His blood was smeared along more than two miles of country road.

The three killers were quickly identified and apprehended. They all stood separately and were convicted. Brewer was executed in 2011, following by King in 2019. Berry was sentenced to life in prison and will be eligible for parole in 2038.

Down In The Groove

Released: 30 May 1988

Rating: 4/10

The saying ‘too many cooks spoil the broth’ certainly applies here, as this is Bob’s most collaborative album and also one of his least enjoyable. Couple this with songs being recorded over a four year period, you are left with a disjointed mess and a Bob who sounds wildly different from track to track. It’s likely that Bob was focusing his energy elsewhere during ‘88, as he was creating hits with The Traveling Wilburys, and this album seems to be a compilation of the worst outtakes and lazy covers from the previous few years. Whilst a few tracks are fine, this is another bad record that further helped to mythologise the Dylan of decades prior.

1. Let’s Stick Together - This Wilbert Harrison cover is terrible. Bob sounds awful, the instrumentation is almost unlistenable, and the production is pathetic.

2. When Did You Leave Heaven - See above, another cover, another complete failure.

3. Sally Sue Brown - I actually don’t mind this interpretation of Arthur Alexander’s song. The vocalisations are pretty funny, Bob’s singing is fine, however the constant backing singer is annoying as fuck.

4. Death Is Not The End - This track, written by Bob, is a somber affair. His voice isn’t his best singing effort, and the music isn’t up to much, but the songs message is at least interesting.

5. Had A Dream About You, Baby - A very average folky rock song that is instantly gone from your memory.

6. Ugliest Girl In The World - Shit. Just boring, badly written shit. What’s happened here Bob? Why’ve you stopped trying?

7. Silvio - Written with Robert Hunter of The Grateful Dead, this is the album highlight. It’s fun, catchy, and a great song to sing along too. Bob sounds fantastic, I love the acoustic guitar, and it’s no surprise this is the only song from this album that has survived in his live sets.

8. Ninety Miles An Hour (Down A Dead End Street) - An okay song with nice piano, even if the lyrics mean nothing and Bob sounds strained.

9. Shenandoah - I genuinely really like this version of an old folk standard. As usual, I could’ve done without the backing vocals, but Bob sounds like he’s gone back to his folk roots and the music is perfect for this rendition.

10. Rank Strangers To Me - The final track is Bob’s version of an Albert E. Brumley tune. It’s as average as the rest of the album, with Bob howling the long notes, though the stripped back guitar and bass do sound nice.

Verdict: Once again I find myself slating my idol, but this is the 3rd bad album in a row, luckily the Wilburys album of the same year is fantastic. It just all seems so hollow, so careless and almost released begrudgingly, as if he just needs to put out anything no matter the quality. Following this, Bob set out on the Never Ending Tour, which is still ongoing to this day (only halting for the pandemic). However, his critical redemption was still a year away, as a wiser, older, and more gravelly Bob steps out of the shadows, and proves he still has what it takes to release genius music and intricately beautiful songs.

The Ditch of Doom

Saturday, January 12, 2022

We slept in this morning. Tim is usually up first to make coffee around 6:00. Coffee didn't get started until 7:45 today, and then only by luck as we are out of practice with our regular routines.

We had been living out of tote bags for the better part of two weeks. The back of the RV was a wreck with all our miscellany. We spent over an hour sipping fresh brewed coffee (yum) and putting things away before things were ship shape enough to make breakfast.

A trail crew was forming up outside. Their task for the day was to build a bridge. As we finished packing our day packs, they were starting their morning meeting. We set off for the trailhead, hoping to meet up with them at the end of the day.

It is so pleasant to have a trailhead that is 10 minutes away instead of the hour or so we had been driving from the hotel. Here's to boondocking!

We did our first 10-mile today. (Over 25k steps, for those of you who care about such things.) We left from the Brumley Road trailhead in the Mills Creek Woodlands and hiked roughly WNW to the bridge crossing the Econlockhatchee River in the Little Big Econ State Forest. And back. It was 81° most of the day. Jeanne was grateful to have her new hiking skort.

The scenery today included some fire remains we can only surmise must be from some controlled burns. In fact, some of the permanent road signs warn of smoke.

We also crossed a bridge over a stream labeled on the topo map as the the Ditch of Doom. It was kind of pretty, actually, although we had been dreading the idea of having to walk through it. It had been a muddy day and it would not have surprised us if we had to wade. But there was a pretty little bridge.

We pass two potential turnaround points, but we are feeling good and cranking out the miles, so we head for the Big Econhatchee River bridge at 4.5 miles. It’s a new bridge, but to the east we can see big pilings of an old train bridge of the Florida East Coast Railway.

We have been slowly building up our strength and stamina. We are now averaging over two MPH pretty consistently, with splits of 2.5 MPH sometimes. On the way back, we decided to try to do 3 MPH for a full mile. We were close, with our best mile taking 21 minutes. If only we hadn't been distracted by the bicyclist talking about the wild Mandarin oranges in the woods...

We see interesting and new vegetation in each forest we walk through. Today was a spinning leaf.

We certainly used ourselves up today. But the grocery store was only 6 minutes from the trailhead, and 10 minutes back to the overnight parking lot we stayed at last night.

As we were noshing on chips and guac, the trail crew leaders arrived back at the parking lot. They proudly announced that they had finished enough of the bridge that people can cross it. It apparently needs some more permanent stairs and handrails, but they say it is serviceable. A good day's work.

We will be able to get onto the Florida Trail and try out the new bridge right from the parking lot tomorrow morning. No drive to the trailhead required.

🔥Jefferson County estate includes castle, golf course and 2,400 acres — and a $24.75 million pricetag🔥

Jefferson County estate includes castle, golf course and 2,400 acres — and a $24.75 million pricetag

Selma Hall, also known as Kennett’s castle, is for sale for $24.75 million. The 2,400-acre property owned by Union Pacific includes the castle, as well as a conference center and golf course. The limestone castle is almost 12,000 square feet and was completed in 1854. Photos by Doug Abel, courtesy of Cushman & Wakefield.

FESTUS — A castle tucked away on 2,400 acres, visible to the outside world only from water or air, is on the market for $24.75 million — more than twice the asking price of any luxury property for sale in the St. Louis area.It’s being touted as a once-in-a-lifetime chance to own a private estate that includes a furnished castle with a conference center and an 18-hole golf course, according to the listing by Cushman & Wakefield real-estate firm.Union Pacific has owned the nine-bedroom, limestone mansion with a gun tower used in the Civil War for more than 30 years, and used it as a corporate retreat. But in 2018, the railroad decided to close it as part of companywide cost-cutting measures.”It’s immaculate,” said Michael Hanrahan, the listing agent. “They’ve done a fantastic job maintaining it.”But few people outside the company have been allowed on its grounds on a bluff overlooking the Mississippi River, and it has been shrouded in mystery. The estate goes by several names, including Selma Hall and Selma Farm. But most locals still call it Kennett’s castle for the wealthy family who built it more than 160 years ago.Four much smaller houses sit on the property, as does a hunting-and-fishing lodge overlooking a lake and shooting range.The 6,400-square-foot conference center that once was a stable includes meeting rooms in silos with 30-foot ceilings and a patio with a view of the pool and tennis court, as well as eight bedrooms, 11 bathrooms, a kitchen and a fitness room. The Course at Castle Ridge golf course has a 5,900-square-foot clubhouse, and its cart paths and ponds “are accented by the same locally excavated limestone used for the castle,” the listing says. Golf carts and maintenance equipment are included.A string of influential families and companies have owned the property, where future King Edward VII of England reportedly once spent an extended stay. It has been for sale since around the beginning of this year, said Michael Hanrahan, the listing agent.And who might purchase such a posh and pricey property?Hanrahan said potential buyers could include a company looking for a conference center or corporate retreat. Or perhaps a resort operator, or someone very wealthy.In 1996, the McDonnell Douglas Corp. bought one of the most famous estates in St. Louis County to create a learning center. The company paid $7 million for the Vouziers mansion — a French country chateau built by Joseph Desloge in 1926 in a wooded area near the Missouri River — and the 286 acres surrounding it north of Florissant, just west of New Halls Ferry and Shackelford roads. It’s now part of the Boeing Leadership Center.Finding comparable properties for sale on such a huge expanse of land is, well, challenging.”It’s really difficult when you talk about this type of property,” said Bob Boyer, assessor of Jefferson County. Apartment complexes in the county sell in that price range and above, he said. Union Pacific has allowed assessor personnel on the Selma Farm grounds only a few times in recent decades, the office said, and it has used aerial photos to assess the property, about three miles south of Festus.The castle’s price is millions and millions above the most expensive single-family home for sale in Jefferson County, which is part of a Dittmer cattle farm that’s being sold for $1.5 million, according to the real-estate firm Zillow.A 13,000-square-foot house on more than 1,000 acres in Brumley, Missouri, about 150 miles southwest of St. Louis, is listed for $15 million, according to the Property Shark website that ranks it as the most expensive house for sale in the state.It has been on the market for nearly six months.In the St. Louis area, the Westbury Estate in Ladue is the most expensive house on the market with a $10.9 million price tag, according to Zillow. The 20,000-square-foot house sits on more than four acres and includes a “gentleman’s lounge and conservatory.” It has been listed since Sept. 12.The listing for Selma Farm plays up its history, saying it “long been a meeting place for the ambitious and the influential.”

Not Content to Simply ‘Drink Local,’ These 8 Brewers Forage Ingredients from Nearby Lots, Yards, and Forests

As more brewers prioritize local ingredients and agriculture, a back-to-the-land ethos has become increasingly palpable in the beer industry. One way this philosophy has begun to resurface over the last decade is foraging, or searching for potable ingredients from one’s own property, nearby park or forest, or even neighbors’ backyards. Using ingredients harvested by hand, each foraged beer is a truly unique creation that brewers believe can enhance and encapsulate a sense of place.

Below are eight breweries hunting the local landscape for beer-friendly herbs, fruits, fungi, roots, and more raw ingredients for their foraged beers.

Fonta Flora Morganton and Nebo, NC

Born in 2013 with a four-barrel brewhouse in downtown Morganton, N.C., Fonta Flora expanded its beer production with a nine-acre plot and 15-barrel brewhouse on Whippoorwill Farm, a former dairy farm near Lake James State Park in Nebo, N.C., in 2016. Along with foraging for ingredients for its beers, Fonta Flora hosts educational events and workshops so the public can join in on walking tours through the woods to find edible plants for future Fonta Flora products. Participants are eventually able to take home a bottle or 4-pack of the beer brewed after the hunt.

Forager Brewery / Humble Forager Brewery Rochester, MN

Aptly named Forager Brewery, opened in 2015, recently announced it will launch a new brand in 2020, Humble Forager Brewery. “We decided to do it because of the constant calls and demands to get our beer into bars, liquor stores, and restaurants,” Austin Jevne, co-founder and brewer, told Growler magazine. The brand was created “as a workaround to Minnesota’s brewpub laws.” At present, its “scratch kitchen” and brewery offers seasonal dishes and beers made with local fruits, honeys, and grains.

Fullsteam Brewery Durham, NC

Founded in 2010, Fullsteam Brewery emphasizes agricultural and culinary traditions of the “post-tobacco South” with beers like Farm’s Edge: Brumley Forest, made with ingredients foraged in Brumley Forest. A portion of proceeds is given back to the non-profit that maintains the public nature preserve.

Highland Park Brewery Los Angeles, CA

L.A.’s Highland Park Brewery, opened in 2015, is known for its fun, funky brews like its Twiced Jura Blend, a farmhouse-style saison fermented in French oak puncheon barrels with house-mixed cultures along with spent whole-cluster Pinot Noir, Gamay, and Trousseau grapes from nearby Whitecraft Winery of Santa Barbara. Recently, Highland Park collaborated with Allagash Brewing on a pilsner made with local California grains and hops.

Scratch Brewing Company Ava, IL

Scratch, located five miles from the Shawnee National Forest, is one of the small breweries that put foraged beer on the map, albeit from a fairly remote location. It aims to showcase “Southern Illinois terroir” with its beer (and pizza!) made with foraged ingredients like nettle, elderberry, ginger, maple sap, and chanterelle mushrooms. A majority of Scratch’s beers are sold in its taproom in Ava, Ill., as well as the newer Serpent Room opened in 2017. A select amount is distributed in-state and to a few neighboring states.

Urban Farm Fermentory Portland, ME

“Fermentor” and culinary rising star Eli Cayer founded Urban Farm Fermentory in 2010. The fermentory produces beer, cider, mead, kombucha, and jun with foraged ingredients from Cayer’s home state of Maine. “Foraging is a huge part of what we do,” Urban Farm Fermentory says on its website. “Through foraging, we’re able to highlight what is growing seasonally as it’s still in season.” Beers include Lavender Lager and Saison de Gruit, a Belgian-style farmhouse ale made with bitter herbs instead of hops.

West Kill Brewing West Kill, NY

West Kill Brewing recently celebrated a 2019 Great American Beer Festival win for its Kaaterskill IPA, but juicy brews aren’t all brewmaster Patrick “P.J.” Allen excels in. Working on a farm brewery in New York’s Catskill region, Allen utilizes the 127-acre property to forage unusual ingredients like knotweed for his rotating and “seasonally dependent” beers. Forsaken Fields, a mixed-culture saison with creeping thyme and spruce tips from the brewery’s surroundings, is currently on tap. The farm brewery also produces its own maple syrup.

Wunderkammer Bier Greensboro Bend, VT

Hill Farmstead head brewer and production manager Vasilios Glestos started Wunderkammer as a homebrewing project and now produces his (extremely limited) foraged beers to sell. One release, From the Ruins of a Subterranean Feasting Hall, is made with mixed cultures along with cedar, spruce, fir, and pine tips foraged in Vermont.

Kay County, Oklahoma - Wikipedia

County in the United States

Kay County is a county located in the U.S. state of Oklahoma. As of the 2010 census, the population was 46,562.[1] Its county seat is Newkirk,[2] and the largest city is Ponca City.

Kay County comprises the Ponca City, OK Micropolitan Statistical Area. It is in north central Oklahoma on the Kansas state line.

Before statehood, Kay County was formed from the “Cherokee Strip” or “Cherokee Outlet” and originally designated as county “K.” Its name means simply that.[3][4] Kay County is the only county to keep its same name as the Oklahoma area moved from a territory to a state.

History

After the Civil War, the Cherokee Nation had to allow the Federal Government to relocate other Native American tribes to settle in the area known as the Cherokee Outlet, The Kansa (Kaw) arrived in June 1873, settling in what would become the northeastern part of Kay County. The Ponca followed in 1877. The Nez Perce came from the Pacific Northwest in 1879, but remained only until 1885, when they returned to their earlier homeland. Their assigned land in Oklahoma was then occupied by the Tonkawa and Lipan Apache people.[3]

The Chilocco Indian Agricultural School, north of Newkirk, was a boarding school for Indians that operated from 1884 to 1980. Its enrollment peaked at 1,300 in the 1950s and its graduates include members of 126 Indian tribes. The distinguished old buildings of the school were constructed of local limestone.[5]

In 2010, the Keystone-Cushing Pipeline (Phase II) was constructed north to south through Kay County to Cushing in Payne County.

Geography

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the county has a total area of 945 square miles (2,450 km2), of which 920 square miles (2,400 km2) is land and 25 square miles (65 km2) (2.7%) is water.[6] The highest point in Kay County, Oklahoma, is west of North Sage Lane (36′56″12°N, 96′53″40°W), at 1,310 feet (400 m) above sea level. The lowest point is 891 feet (272 m) where the Arkansas River leaves the county.[7]

The northern boundary is the border with Kansas and its eastern boundary is with Osage County. Kaw Lake, a large reservoir on the Arkansas River completed in 1975 includes most of the water area of the country. East of Kaw Lake and the Arkansas River is the region called the Osage Hills or The Osage, a tall-grass prairie region of large livestock, mostly cattle, ranches. West of the Arkansas River the land is flatter and a mixture of cultivated lands and livestock ranches. Principal rivers flowing through the county are the Chikaskia River, the Arkansas River and the Salt Fork of the Arkansas River.[3]

As of the census[13] of 2000, there were 48,080 people, 19,157 households, and 13,141 families residing in the county. The population density was 52 people per square mile (20/km²). There were 21,804 housing units at an average density of 24 per square mile (9/km²). The racial makeup of the county was 84.16% White, 1.79% Black or African American, 7.53% Native American, 0.53% Asian, 0.02% Pacific Islander, 1.98% from other races, and 4.00% from two or more races. 4.25% of the population were Hispanic or Latino of any race.

There were 19,157 households out of which 31.90% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 54.70% were married couples living together, 10.20% had a female householder with no husband present, and 31.40% were non-families. 27.90% of all households were made up of individuals and 13.10% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 2.45 and the average family size was 2.99.

In the county, the population was spread out with 26.40% under the age of 18, 8.80% from 18 to 24, 25.00% from 25 to 44, 22.80% from 45 to 64, and 17.00% who were 65 years of age or older.

The median income for a household in the county was $30,762, and the median income for a family was $38,144. Males had a median income of $30,431 versus $19,617 for females. The per capita income for the county was $16,643. About 12.40% of families and 16.00% of the population were below the poverty line, including 22.70% of those under age 18 and 9.50% of those age 65 or over.

Life expectancy

Of 3,142 counties in the United States in 2013, Kay County County ranked 2,619 in the average life expectancy at birth of male residents and 2,642 in the life expectancy of female residents, both among the lowest 25 percent of all U.S. counties. Males in Kay County lived an average of 72.5 years and females lived an average of 77.7 years compared to the national average for life expectancy of 76.5 for males and 81.2 for females.

In the 1985-2013 period, the average life expectancy in Kay County for females declined by 0.8 years while male longevity increased by 2.0 years. Compared to the national average for the same period of an increased life expectancy of 5.5 years for men and 3.1 years for women, Kay county ranked in the worst performing 10 percent of all counties. High rates of smoking and obesity for both sexes and a low level of physical activity for males appear to be contributing factors to the relatively short life expectancy.[14]

How Big Is the “Eighteen-wheeler” Market Tesla and Nikola Are Chasing, Anyhow?

It looks and feels like something of a disruptive side task, until you learn how big trucking actually is.

Nikola( NASDAQ: NKLA) founder and CEO Trevor Milton appears to have borrowed a couple of pages from Elon Musk’s playbook. That is, make vibrant claims about your electric lorry business’s capacity, even if that endzone is years down the road and filled with obstacles. In just the few days considering that his business started publicly trading, Milton has actually compared his Nikola to e-commerce monolith Amazon, cautioned Ford he’s wanting to outsell its popular F-150 pickups, and after that didn’t balk when inquired about an analyst’s idea that the maker of hybrid semi-trucks could be worth more than $100 billion.

Musk, chief of budding eighteen-wheeler competitor Tesla( NASDAQ: TSLA), reacted since … well, that’s what he does. Now realizing that Nikola could beat the world’s most significant EV maker to the semitrailer mass market, he sent an internal memo to employees informing them: “It’s time to go all out and bring the Tesla Semi to volume production.” That truck was first revealed in 2017

Investors love the drama, of course, including the ones that neither own Tesla nor freshly minted shares of Nikola.

There’s an extremely crucial concern insufficient individuals are asking about the matter yet, nevertheless, while they’re distracted by the juicy headlines. That is: Just how much cash exists to be made by producing the tractors that pull trailers throughout the world’s roads?

Response: More than you may think.

A surprisingly big market

It’s a cyclical (and rather mental) organisation.

That need wasn’t sustained, of course.

Provided the numbers for all four years, we can roughly state durable haulers cost a clip of about 2 million annually.

When it comes to their retail cost, the price tag can vary widely for a brand-new truck. Frost & Sullivan pegs the figure between $110,000 and $125,000 A take a look at dealers’ lots suggests many drivers and fleet owners will pay in excess of $150,000 for a brand-new semitrailer, jibing with the numbers Tesla was utilizing to make its cost-comparison with its rig that was first exposed in2017 Tesla’s truck will cost more, beginning at $150,000 with some designs anticipated to sport a sticker price of $200,000 each, although they’re cheaper to operate in the long run when factoring in fuel cost savings.

But, let’s conservatively state the normal cost of a brand-new diesel rig is $125,000

Increasingly competitive, and complicated

Nikola and Tesla will not have the ability to capture all of that market, naturally. Not just will the two electric semitrailer makers– Tesla’s is 100?ttery-powered, while Nikola’s is a hybrid engine often powered by hydrogen— be competing with one another, they’re competing with other companies also venturing into the battery-powered heavy-hauling arena. Truck name Freightliner is dealing with an all-electric hauler that’s anticipated to enter into production next year. Kenworth, owned by PACCAR( NASDAQ: PCAR), in addition to Geely-owned Volvo are likewise getting the electric truck video game, and while both lag Nikola and Tesla on this front, they’re not miles behind the leaders of the relatively brand-new category.

Then there’s the matter of logistics. The world will require around its normal 2 million brand-new semitrailers next year, S&P Global anticipates the North American market will only require around 200,000 new ones next year, up from this year’s anticipated 150,000 Europe normally buys about 100,000 more than the North American market carries out in any given year. Electric rigs can certainly be delivered overseas, but it’s not easy or particularly low-cost to provide an 80,000- pound metal beast throughout an ocean.

Ergo, the simple market will be rather restricted to near where Nikola and Tesla are making their battery-powered trucks. That’s Fremont, California, for Tesla, though it also needs elements from its Sparks, Nevada, facility. Nikola runs production centers in Arizona and Germany. But it might ultimately be simpler to establish numerous production centers all over the world than to try to serve the entire market from just one or more places.

Worth the effort

Still, even a fraction of a $240 billion sliver of the transport industry is a nice chunk of modification. Even a 10%share of the market translates into more than $20 billion worth of annual earnings for a name able to gather that much share from the primarily diesel market.

On that note, Tesla showed as far back as 2018 that it was resting on orders for more than 2,000 of its electrical rigs, while Nikola reports it needed to stop taking orders after preorders reached a retail value of around $14 billion. The stockpile was just getting too huge. There may suffice room for both business to thrive with their options to diesel-burning semitrailers.
