Germany aims to designate an ambitious green hydrogen project in Namibia as strategically significant, paving the way for additional financial support and bringing a plan that could transform the economy of the African nation closer to reality.
Advancement in technology and economies of scale will ensure it will be very cheap in the long-run. People who doubt this are just repeating the same arguments used against renewable energy in general. We were told many times that it was "impossible" for wind and solar to be cost effective, until they did.
Making renewable energy reliable will require hydrogen as an energy storage mechanism. Except for a few special cases, 100% renewable grids are impossible without it.
They all basically require hydrogen. E-fuels or green ammonia all require water electrolysis. Attempts at alternatives inevitable up trying to make crazy ideas work, like burning sodium or boron or whatever. Those ideas are pretty much all nonstarters.
You’re just proposing gravitational energy storage. This is many orders of magnitude smaller than what is doable with chemical energy storage systems. Frankly, you are trolling now.
Green hydrogen is made via electrolysis using renewable energy. You're simply repeating the same language of the oil and gas industry by suggest new green technologies are just fantasies.
With Lewis County Transit’s fleet of diesel engine buses aging and incurring more repair costs, the public transit system on Monday, March 18, accepted the first of three hydrogen-powered buses it will add to its fleet this year....
I’m about 8 hours into Death Stranding Director’s Cut, and I just can’t do this. I love the meditative, lonely feel of the gameplay, and I’m always down for a bonkers and absurd Kojima story. I truly hope future games implement a similar traversal system where you really need to watch your footing. But this game is...
The problem is that it doesn't really make sense for a PS5 Pro to exist. The userbase is still too small to justify everyone moving off of PS4 even now. Splitting the userbase is not a good idea, especially if the Pro version is nothing more than a graphics upgrade with no new gameplay features. Sony will end up creating the same Series S vs. Series X headache that Microsoft is facing. Any proposed improvements should really be rolled into a PS6, and launched in 2027 or whenever.
Of course, there's nothing stopping Sony from making one anyways.
You learn something new everyday. That said, the new 3DS seems like a bad idea even at the time. It must have only caused confusion and probably didn't sell that well.
Up to $16m of funding will be available to support the establishment of commercial hydrogen fuelling infrastructure in California next month (April 2024).
Canada, citing the need to shun Russian energy, signed an agreement with Germany Monday it said would accelerate work towards the commercial-scale trade of clean hydrogen fuel.
Then you think like Elon Musk, who thinks we should have "both sides" of the issue, even when the other side is just extremism or foreign actors. We know from history that this doesn't work. The community will inevitably end up being simply not worth it, and nearly everyone leaves.
