Rather than hijacking @gnievchenko 's thread on hydrogen efficiency, I figured I'd start a fresh one 1/n @LexBrow36686039

Trump is being misunderstood. Most people think Trump is saying “peace” when in fact he means “piece”. He wants a piece of Panama, a piece of Greenland, a piece of Palestine, and a piece, in the form of rare minerals, of Ukraine.

As others have pointed out, a great article from Giles on the Broken Hill blackout. About time we flipped the approach to supply on it's head. Too many players in the Oz NEM worrying about the top / supply side. Time to have a look at a bottom-up approach. reneweconomy.com.au/broken-h…

The discovery to deployment journey.
Get connected before you start @BeyondScience can help. Embrace emerging technologies-the push to translation reveals need for discovery breakthroughs. Listen carefully to others.We are all just a part of the human chain needed to deliver !

Like it or not: Germany’s energy system is fully operational, with more than 50% renewables. And we are shutting down – not building – coal & nuclear plants. Coal will be off the grid by 2038 at the latest. PS: We also don’t eat cats and dogs. #Debate2024
ALT Donald Trump during the presidential debate.
I'm on the record numerous times asserting the view that insurance will be the hammer that drives the climate change nail home for most. I'd like to add that the impact on sport will be the next most impactful. mastodon.world/@davidho/1130…
Have a mate that moved over to Scandanavia for a while. Loved Right to Roam. Came across a sign saying he couldn't walk this path in the forest. He wasn't sure of the meaning of all the words but it was graphic. Took a pic to show someone. Yeah, live fire army training area 🤔🤣

Sweden's Truls Möregårdh was on the verge of defeat in the table tennis Olympic final and said he wanted to do something fun for the crowd. This is so good

“Anything to declare?” Apollo crew: “Moon rocks.”
Best day in this Hawaiian customs agent’s life.
#Apollo11 crew had to sign US customs' forms after returning from the moon on July 24, 1969, declaring that they brought moon dust & rock samples back. The declaration form was signed by crew members: Neil Armstrong, Edwin Aldrin & Michael Collins. contactlight.de

How I made my first sale. The magazine for the previously unpublished was called UnEarth:

Interesting framing of the renewables v's nuke alternatives in one Oz state: "Nuclear is not compatible with renewables. You can’t turn it off when the sun shines... ".
Love it! Also a great read of the room given the number of us with solar on our roofs.

Nice summary of the state of ITER via Nature. A huge multinational, technically challenging project, it was never going to go smoothly. I agree it's still worth it but smaller gigs will probably sustain a plasma burn earlier nature.com/articles/d41586-0…

Using horizontal drilling technology popularized by oil & gas frackers, @fervoenergy said it would make advanced geothermal cost-effective. Unlike a lot of startups, it succeeded.

Honestly - a few of the replies to this little tribute to engineering excellence exhibit a level of stupidity that suggests to me that it won’t be long before our spacecraft are the only thing that remains of our increasingly dim-witted civilisation. Until recently my guess has been that the answer to the Fermi Paradox might be found in biology - complex biological systems are rare. I’m increasingly of the view that the reason for The Great Silence is that civilisations are inevitably crushed by the weight of nobheads shortly after inventing the internet.
