Offshore wind and onshore solar excess can be used to produce hydrogen, not coal.
It takes extra steps and introduces inefficiencies, but it is able to store larger amounts of energy than batteries, and can be used in certain industrial processes which do not run on wires and electrons.
In a succesfully electrified world, it is likely that some ammonia and hydrogen is shipped around the world for such use cases. The main alternative is to keep using fossils.
Some ships would carry ammonia, hydrogen, etc.
Still better than the status quo.
Dutch municipality sues Dutch state. As much as your meme is true, their approach makes sense.
Wow I did not expect to see actual ads. The answers could just be commercially manipulative instead.
You have to understand that this is the external propaganda channel.
To me, this comment completely contradicts the arguments in your previous comment. I’m curious to learn your actual opinion on the matter.
I think that’s an oversimplification. Takeoff for one massively impacts carbon emissions, so direct flights are better than multiple transfers. Booking business class probably has an even larger effect. And the there’s load averages and plane types.
There are some concerns but yes, development generally accelerates: https://arxiv.org/abs/2507.03156
To be fair, their reduced focus and the potential pace improvement through LLM assisted coding might cancel each other out. I wouldn’t be surprized if the resulting pace change is net zero or better.
That said: I like Firefox local translations, but haven’t found a use case for its other AI features yet.
Good initiative, not the best name.
Open Geospatial Consortium (also OGC) is leading in its domain and has been for years. https://www.ogc.org/
Yes, as far as I’m able to understand it, ammonia is quite promising for certain industrial purposes (and to run the tankers themselves). Engineer the right engine, and it could potentially run on ammonia while acting as a cracker. Temp store excess hydrogen, and use that for the second part of your journey (or sell it for onshore purposes).
