Hydrogen is not an energy source.  It's an energy storage tactic, and very expensive to generate in terms of energy requirements.

Carbon capture is an entropy nightmare.  I see a lot of PR with both and not much substance.  Thermodynamics is not something that we can change.

In other news, the Philadelphia area is officially locked down for at least two weeks so I'm stuck at my parents' place at least until that ends, not that there's anything to do in DC now, anyway.
The lockdown would not likely stop you from going from Philly to your place in DC...

...but if you want to eat your parent's free food, don't tell them that :72:

Neither are ready to be commercialized yet by any means, though hydrogen is closer to it than most realize. There's an increasing amount of renewable generation that goes to waste because otherwise it destabilizes the grid. However, if you put electrolyzers and energy storage systems nearby, much more of it could be put to use and stored. Here's some of the latest news related to this:

https://www.smart-energy.com/industry-sectors/distributed-generation/nsw-announces-first-hydrogen-storage-new-solar-storage-plants/
https://www.h2-view.com/story/australia-wants-to-produce-hydrogen-under-2-per-kg/
https://www.forbes.com/sites/dipkabhambhani/2020/03/20/could-sinking-oil-prices-open-door-for-green-hydrogen-some-hope/#398916ac3b6e

Once this all gets depoliticized in (hopefully / presumably) 2021 and beyond, most people will realize this is the way of the future.

Milwaukee's Summerfest has been postponed from June/July to September. Hopefully it's not cancelled completely.

We will send police. With flame-throwers': Italian mayors lose it at people refusing to self isolate

https://nationalpost.com/news/world/we-will-send-police-with-flame-throwers-italian-mayors-lose-it-at-people-refusing-to-self-isolate

Italian soldiers patrol downtown Milan, Italy, Sunday, March 22, 2020. Italian Premier Giuseppe Conte has told the nation he is tightening the lockdown to fight the rampaging spread of coronavirus, shutting down all production facilities except those that are “necessary, crucial, indispensable to guarantee” the good of the country

I was watching the news early today and the story of that princess came up. 17 days later, workers found evidence of the virus living on hard surfaces. 17 days.


Whoever designed this virus is really good at it.

Local vodka distiller Tito's has converted some of its manufacturing to hand sanitizer and is delivering 24 tons of the stuff, for free.  They're also donating $2M to CV relief efforts.

https://www.kxan.com/news/local/austin/titos-handmade-hand-sanitizer/

Just a great company that's always been great to the community, going back 20 years when I was their first (and only) charitable tailgate party.  These days, they sponsor scores and perhaps even hundreds of them.
Local distillers here are doing much the same.  Good for them!
