Fuel cell (Hydrogen consumption) technology is ahead of low cost mass electrolysis deployments (hydrogen production). Batteries are doing very well in China, and still finding a way to be cheaper in the west too. Batteries help produce more electrolysis from renewables.

Article is saying that batteries are important too. It is a bit misleading in saying that cobalt is needed though. Cobalt and Nickel are needed for highest performance old tech batteries. For race cars. The price revolution in batteries is most pronounced for long lasting LiFePo chemistry batteries which avoids both metals, and used in value EVs, and grid storage. Batteries are not enough alone to exterminate oil/NG use.

Green H2 is inherently at a price disadvantage compared to green electricity.

Intermittent renewables are the cheapest. If you can consume electricity directly while it is produce, that is at cheapest rates. Batteries is one intermediate to get good power charge/discharge rates to absorb, even cheaper, surplus electricity that supports more renewables. H2 electrolysis is a way to absorb renewable production that would exceed 24 hour demand on some days, and allows for more renewables and batteries to keep the energy/batteries productive/monetized all of the time.

Even trucks and ships have a cost advantage in distributing H2 energy compared to electric wires. Pipelines even more. H2 distribution doubles as storage as well.

H2 is a few years ahead on horizon. Lowest hanging fruit is gasoline/diesel replacement, but alternative to electric grid expansion is real, with offshore wind the biggest gainer of going pure H2 electrolysis, and land based renewables expanding their footprints to have alternate sales options than an electric monopoly.

China’s overall refining volumes are down significantly since middle of year as EVs are surpassing 50% market share there. Also while NG use for electricity is down, they are converting a lot of heavy transport to use LNG. In the future this will transition to H2.

This is a year of major climate progress, and even the west is inching forward.

Big inroads for H2 perhaps starting in 5 years. Batteries are enough to progress until then. Solar deployments will need an H2 outlet to keep using up solar capacity. Very likely to be yet another China driven tech boom.

portable H2 is gateway to urban distributed H2. Appliances and refills either from home or from nearby businesses. Powerstations/backup/UPS power is a pretty universal application. Everything depends on green H2 retail prices though.

Major failure of Biden Administration on China. Only promotes “delete America” resolve. Trump made a deal with China last term, and surely if a hotel or 2 can be thrown in, another deal is likely. Neither will reindustrialize America.

This is mostly a help Mexico and Canada oligarchy policy. Brazilian coffee will go to US friendly countries to be roasted for example. Same as any other US imports getting an extra middleman.

got through 40 minutes… but too long.

sign of a desperate collapsing empire for US to vote for Trump, who threatens BRICS and everyone else with massive tariffs.

Biden has been exceptionally skillful in strengthening the devotion level of colonies to US even as majority of the world moves away. Germany loves US’s bombing of Nordstream, FFS, and Australia spending equivalent share of GDP of US of $8T for imported nuclear subs to protect its trade with China from China, as a gauge for level of submission. US colonies are accepting recession to help prop up US economy.

Trump’s style of overtly embarrassing everyone else can’t work as well. And certain collapse of alliances is certain to follow. Military coups in Europe will result if they don’t. US collapses without its colonies.

That said, the key thing here should be ensuring that the people of Ukraine benefit from their own resources

Lyndsay Graham is one of the loudest neocon parasites. Even when he says this in front of Zelensky, you can be sure it is to help destroy Ukraine so that Blackrock can bid the lowest possible amount for them. There was plenty of opportunity prior to war for west or Russia to bid “fair prices for benefit of Ukrainian people” for resource development. Ukraine corruption meant that below fair prices were still possible then. Rock bottom prices is what is most likely now.

Strawman article. Money multiplier is mostly from fiscal policy.

For monetary policy, all money not stored under a mattress is money that stays in the banking system. Bank profits/capitalization does impact credit appetitite, and a certain path to profits is provided by a Fed doing QE, where buying bonds becomes a sure thing that Fed will pay more than you did. Buying bonds is a bank activity that competes with credit, but fractional reserve helps give a sends of prudence to reinvesting low deposit rate funds, and having high fees for accounts, to maximizing reserve leverage at low risk.

Redistribution from rich to poor, and oligarch to employee, is what boosts the money multiplier. Poor spend everything by definition, and employees feel confident in spending, such that all money flows back up to the oligarchs. Oligarchs trading paper does not boost economy/multiplier as much.

Undercooked fish?.. straight move to the right.

Biden won by running more left than he was. Even if you think entire public is behind diminishing Russia and China, just because there’s a bipartisan consensus for it, the economic damage caused by Ukraine war and lying about the causes of the economic damage is a certain weight on DNC. The pure demonic evil of neocon empire, but no one talking about it, still finds its way into brainless voters’ bones.

Winner will be based on turnout. Enthusiasm and hope gets missed when DNC feels like a fundraising organization that got its dream opponent, and still failed to run away with the election. The “more right” solution is just certain collapse of US and any faith in democracy or zionist media that genuinely favours the most zionist candidate, when genocide is so easily at reach.

Most hydrogen made today is used to make ammonia of which most of that is used to make fertilizer.

Australia has been a leader on home solar.

Green Iron and steel is an important market for H2 electrolysis because all of the fertilizer plants are mega plants right next door to grey H2 plants.

But human sustainability can’t be a PR/political game. International carbon taxes are needed to justify these investments, otherwise we will end up reminiscing how for a brief moment in our history, shareholders were rewarded richly.

It’s an interesting take. I believe he will just let GOP do project 2025 while he plays golf. He definitely hates muslims and other minorities to his core, and Israel gives him/family too much money to not commit to genocide the media fully supports him on.

Trump is in danger of GOP turning on him for impeachment. CIA/war/oil machine wants to keep the declining colonies they have left, and Ukraine permawar is recipe for that. $300 oil prices from war on Iran is a good thing for GOP. He’s still said out loud how he will be so unanimously loved that he will get a third term without a need for another election.

A cute movie with one of the best plots ever. An economy based on children’s screams is transformed into one based on child laughter. That fairly portable cannisters are involved escaped me before :P

it was sarcastic. But that is what Trump will say, and what media has already been saying.

“uM AkShuLly TrUmP woUld bE 9999x WorSe, wE jUst NeEd tO ProTest aFTER tHe ELeCTion”

Trump promises to arrest and deport you for your protest in support of Hamas/Iran. Only reason to be anti genocide is you being an Iranian agent.

It’s sad that no democrats are pulling to the left on the major foreign policy issues. Illian Omar said the best thing for Ukrainian children is to ensure that Ukrainian nazis can control regions they hate. Bernie has recently said that “Israel has the right to defend itself” even if he has also said a ceasefire is important. The only voice who would trade the demonic warmongering US empire for an extra hotel or two is Trump.

JFK suggested for a moment that Zionist lobbyists should register as foreign agents, and called Israeli leadership SOBs. Very soon after he was shot, and LBJ shelved the idea.

I completely understand this. But, assisting in the lesser evil outcome is always worth the voting effort. If you don’t, then even worse evil will be on the ballot next time, and your voice can be counted on being ignored once again.
