Maybe it’s a fun tv show, letting foreigners eat bad food and pretend it’s good.

Anyways, stay true to yourself <3

Because the steak was burned and didn’t taste good. But the guy specifically told me to say that i tastes amazing and to even exaggerate.

I read that the first time, too. But the same question remains.

“We’re a tech company now!” logo

Why did you feel like you had to lie?

Would love to learn if it exists too. I use it often.

The only other way I know how to CAD is https://github.com/pythonscad/pythonscad

I’ve done toastmasters a long time a go, and it really benefits me till today.

Then carry openly and proud. No need to hide your beauty

What’s everyone’s EDC?

it’s already way too expensive.

If you don’t account for the storage problem, renewables look like a cheap solution, indeed. And you end up with renewables + huge reliance on fossil fuel.

This is an ideal scenario for the fossil industry.

We’re like five years into an energy revolution

Exactly, after working on it for over 30.

It seems like theyre not even planning on going fossil free.

That quote, again, not mentioning stored energy. How do they not understand that storage needs to be specified in both power and energy?

what makes steel

Vs

What makes iron

Hydrogen, in one form or another, is the answer to all of those things

No it isn’t? What makes steel steel is the carbon inbetween Fe.

Green hydrogen has been promised to me my whole life. Sad to day I now understand your point of view. Natural gas wins.

Already happening, on a small (but industrial) scale.

I mean, isn’t that the problem with all storage technologies?

Is the goal of renewables to do 90% of the year with renewables, and 10% of the year with fossil fuel?

Hopefully one day, the last 10% is “green hydrogen”, “syngas”, “synpetrol”? That’s how the intermittancy problem is “solved”?

Diving head first into shallow water comes to mind

Gas can be synthesised

When’s that going to happen? Right after the green hydrogen revolution?

They’ve been saying that for decades. It isn’t happening. It’s just natural gas.

It’s not technology it’s physics

Sorry, I didn’t think someone would deny the existance of dunkelflautes. It’s currently happening in Germany. (1).

I don’t think lithium ion is the only storage technology. I was using it for scale.

The most cost effective storage is pumped storage. But even that wouldn’t reach the scale necessary.

6 MWh pumped storage proof-of-concept won’t l, either.

is what gas is for

Wouldn’t it be better to go fossil free. Given, you know, climate change. And the fact that the gas needs to be shipped all the way from the US.

That’s physically impossible for a place the size of Germany, much less Europe.

Unless we use a different technology, that is not renewables + storage?

I hadn’t made that connection. Thank you

How many fingers do you have?

upscaled green hydrogen market

That’s been the talk in town for 40 years now. Green hydrogen has never gotten beyond proof-of-concept.

The fact that we seem to constantly discuss nuclear vs. renewables is proof that it’s mostly lobbying bullshit.

Sadly, it’s because the political green parties available to me are anti-nuclear.

It’s either renewables+short-term storage+long-term-term storage or renewables+nuclear+long-term storage.

Why is nuclear+short term storage not an option, according to you?
