I wonder which country will be next to carry out a nuclear strike, Russia or Israel.
I wonder if Netanyahu’s position is tenuous enough that assassinations of key political allies might lead to his outster and arrest, and then to overall destabilization. Maybe they’re just too well protected or too numerous.
Maybe it’s a typo. I searched the referenced papers and the word infallibly doesn’t turn up.
Nuclear is the way!
How are the Dems going to top this?
How messed up are things in the UK if that’s something that makes you feel proud?
The greatest humiliation.
If any country (with exceptions) is behind on nuclear power, then the whole world is behind. Not good!
Yes, but that was in 2002, long after his term in office.
Barak Obama was named the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize laureate nine months after his inauguration. Subsequently, he used a drone to murder an American citizen, among a litany of other atrocities.
That is not true. I’m working on a hydrogen refueling project right now with a steel, ASME code storage vessel. I asked the manufacturer specifically and they confirmed that hydrogen embrittlement is not a concern and does not affect the lifetime of the vessel.
I’m not so concerned about the carbon footprint of battery manufacturing as I am with the broader externalities associated with the battery lifecycle. This article is a few years old, but it provides a relevant, sobering assessment of the problem. Hydrogen powered vehicles make sense now because they avoid that problem. They’re also a better choice for anyone whose driving needs would outpace overnight charging of a BEV at home (or anyone with a living situation that precludes it). The current policy of exclusively transitioning the fleet to BEVs is at best a kludge for bad energy policy.
I do not think the US or Israel actually have good intentions, but I doubt that the pier has anything to do with off-shore oil or gas exploitation. What purpose would it serve when the oil or gas could be brought to a fully developed port that already exists?
You’re not really describing a problem with hydrogen powered vehicles. You’re describing the problem with the way we’ve been trying to generate power free of greenhouse gas emissions. As long as the policy makers keep myopically insisting that we only do it with certain renewables, it doesn’t matter if battery electric vehicles are actually more efficient or not. So, on balance, the relative inefficiency of a hydrogen powered fleet is more than made up for by avoiding a massive stream of battery waste that everyone seems to be ignoring.
No it doesn’t. It’s a well understood, predictable phenomenon that is reasonably addressed in any application involving hydrogen.
Hydrogen embrittlement is a solved problem. You just design for it. And the grid is not there to support a transition of ICE vehicle fleet to battery electric. A significant build out of infrastructure is required especially for recharging battery powered long haul trucks within reasonable times.
Yes. Battery powered vehicles are heavy, hazardous, and have significant pollution problems throughout their lifecycle. They’re also dependent on grid uptime because EV charging stations don’t store usable power on site (except in some notorious cases with diesel powered generators). Battery powered EVs don’t offer any benefits over H2 powered vehicles, but they help to extend the tentacles of the deleterious just-in-time paradigm further into our lives.
If Biden really wanted to stick it to the Chinese auto industry, he’d fund a national build out of hydrogen refueling infrastructure and substantial subsidies for fuel cell production.
Politicians from bourgeois parties are going to serve bourgeois interests. Nobody should expect anything different from them.
A tenuous argument could be made that Israel and the US are the same country. Is that what you are getting at?
