Careful - there will be a law against that soon!

Slow going, China seemingly already having mass production of green hydrogen.

There are recent headlines for this 'thing'. Most likely a semi/tax scam like most of alternative wind turbines. There was a similar wacky contraption in the 1980s.

It seems there are people who don't believe the man-made climate change is a thing, but claim that scientists can create hurricanes.

A lot of this AI stuff is all a bit of a laugh (and some lines in that article did make me laugh!);
but there's a serious problem here when you look at the crazy carbon footprint of all this AI. (as if useless stuff we do on the internet wasn't already wasteful enough):
Google are looking at nuclear reactors for their datacentres:

I think I saw Microsoft have already rented Three Mile Island (yes, that one) to power their AI. www.bisnow.com/national/news/data-center/three-mile-island-to-be-reactivated-in-plan-to-feed-power-hungry-data-centers-125986
Never mind AI mining humanity for resources like that article says: tech barons will hand over our resources willingly! Never mind the water and energy being needed more elsewhere.

With hydrogen leaks being in the news recently I think any move to hydrogen vehicles is totally unnecessary.
And Musks idea of wireless charging for his semi fictional taxis is fine if the efficiency is made extremely high.

Could go in various threads, but can we take a moment to enjoy this on several levels? (It's Charlie Mullins' car).

Seems to be 250% bigger than their current commercial product. These could mop up all of UKs excess wind.
I wonder what is best, moving its 10 tonne of hydrogen produced per day or using it in situ.

Whilst we have seemingly passed 2.5GW production this year, China alone looks on target, looking by the 2024 acceleration, for 100GW by 2030. Those knocking hydrogen need to realise current production is still very much in infancy.

As is, it seems it is China who will save the planet. If there is any of it left after ww3 that is.

It certainly seems far easier just to use the mushrooming hydrogen produced for power stations.
