I have nothing wrong with your love of babies. I'm just kicking sand at you because you presented them as alternatives to projects that are well into the development stage.

Babies are much cuter than teenagers. OK. So what?
We will see foggy, but the work is serious and is ongoing with qualified people and worthy of consideration compared to other approaches to solving our energy issues. All this stuff may end up as public policy one day, so it and climate change resolutions belong in politics. People should know about the available options as we move into the next decade and that is primarily where my focus on this stuff is, covering the energy revolution we will soon be in the midst of. News about climate change, protests and polices like the inflation reduction plan, the technologies the government is spending money on and will promote, the smart green new grid too including HVDC transport lines. It will all be on the table over the next decade and the more extreme the weather conditions the more imperative there will be for change. As I said, we are in an existential crisis here and it is becoming acute, doing nothing or doing stupid shit is not an option. It is not even my problem since I won't be around, but I still care about people and the planet, the future kids will inherit.

This is where the discussion crosses from a discussion and into an argument. From what you said, you aren't reading my posts or trying to understand what I'm trying to say. So I'll just stop responding and let you have the last word.

I read your posts and understand you just fine. I'm not even disagreeing, but we need more than what is already proven, and the cutting edge is always a risky place to be. I never said it would work, just that it stands a pretty good chance and has serious people who have done the preliminary engineering work and some tests. The article(s) I posted spells out the technology and some of the problems along with the potential. In any cost benefit analysis the benefits must be considered along with the problems. whether their timeline is realistic we will soon see. They hold patents so there should be no competition spurring them, just a deadline on the patents and the investors wanting a return.

I can see the hay trucks from Tassie headed north to the mainland again this year- its been a few years since that was needed.

Prayer for Florida, no you Desantis, ef off
It’s the anniversary of Katrina today. The town I live in was Devastated by it . Completely demolished . They rebuilt a lot but there are still a lot of empty lots.

The stations had to be asked to stop selling contaminated fuel? Like shouldn't knowingly selling contaminated fuel be a crime?
Will cost the stations a heap to fix all the cars.
