is this a self-report, ricky? are you noodling on main?

ho boy

for peaker plants i’ve always assumed we’d do fuel cells. just plumbing it in to existing gas infra (aka just fucking boiling water again) seems like it doesn’t really solve the problem.

but yeah for applications that require heat rather than electricity it’s a good idea. i think having generators on site is probably the more likely solution there.

depends on what i had the night before

Edit: i was thinking more of the flexible tariffs…

here too, but it doesn’t really help the people who live in apartments :(

if only we actually got there… here the prices have been climbing more and more the more wind turbines we install because of grid instability.

honestly a great pilot area for energy storage.

yeah ammonia is also a good idea. a lot harder to handle safely though, it tends to corrode things.

are we talking 80s dorky al or today’s “can pull off serious” al?

if it’s the former, death wish 3.

if it’s the latter, mandy.

muppet treasure island but weird al is the only human

no, it requires a lot of heat. but on the other hand it binds hydrogen into a more stable form and can be made with captured carbon.

i still find it strange to build out a technology with such a low efficiency. but with CHP plants it could probably be more economical.

it’s currently about 5x the cost to produce so i think some other incentives are probably needed as well…

i wasn’t really asking but i appreciate that you thought about it

oil money

man, why’d the vindictive hornyposter have to be the one who stays

why do you think lego is so expensive now

huh, i thought only japan was betting on hydrogen. i hadn’t heard of expansion here. although that’s more likely because everything we get about germany is how it’s their fault that our electric bill has gone up.

things really are that bad over there huh

most hydrogen is produced from natural gas unfortunately :(

isn’t methanol better for fuel?
