Turning on a BBC receiving device these days is akin to answering a door knock and getting two Jehovah's witnesses I reckon.

Priceless. Thank you

H2 is a multifaceted vector that combines energy, base commodities, chemicals, agriculture and water resources. The H2 economy is the process of connecting these vectors, which when fully developed offers an interconnected, self sustaining basis for human activity.

so there

don't give them inspiration

- an animation on Tellytubbies lines would be certain to follow

If I had the time to mess with AI a Hydrogen themed Tellytubby spoof might be fun - inspired by this

I guess polkadot hydrogen is itsy bitsy teeny weeny...

Oct 26, 2023 at 1:45 PM | Unregistered CommenterIt doesn't add up...

"turquoise hydrogen"

That Hydrogen fanbois are going to appropriate/hijack the LBGTQIA+ flag seems certain - or maybe the two groups are going to find common cause.

The UK's National Grid demonstrating that they've been taken over by dimwitted lefty liberal activist marketeers

A new campaign of polkadot (or Tartan?) Hydrogen is being prepared no doubt.

The spectrum of Hydrogen eh?

pathetic stupidity.

I know the world's gone mad but the Hydrogen colour spectrum.... pu-leeze


meanwhile things are getting interesting in Iceland

BBC might have slipped from "due" balance to actual balance, but I'm sure they won't make a habit of it.

They almost certainly won't.

Radio 4, a preset on my car radio - rarely stays on for more than 10 seconds these days, being suffused with insufferably smug pontificating about a zoo of victims and wall to wall bien pensant metro liberals braying fibs endlessly and swerving any balance or cogent challenges to the catechisms that the present incumbents adhere to.

Not difficult to see why watchers and listeners are reaching for the "off" switch - or in my case thinking about if they even want to turn the receiver on....

On Gaza, I thought the From Our Own Correspondent podcast from Saturday 14th gave decent coverage to the horror of it. BBC might have slipped from "due" balance to actual balance, but I'm sure they won't make a habit of it.


Don't think I've heard of Friends of Science before, but they seem to do a pretty good roundup of sceptical articles. Enjoyed the "Whydrogen" one. Hadn't previously heard of "turquoise hydrogen" (extracting hydrogen from methane), but had to laugh at its big problem (what to do with all the carbon black left over).

We seem to be living in a perpetual motion machine driven by simple solutions and their unintended consequences.

Mailman,
Glad to see you praising Trump's peaceful approach. Beats scorched earth.


On the Snowy 2 tunnel debacle, a commenter at Jo Nova's pointed out that the cost of the 150metres bored to date adds up to $1,000,000/cm. Going to be pretty expensive by the time it reaches the other side, 15km away.

Oh I dunno Robbo, Trump had the right idea to cut off funding to Palestinians while they supported terrorism. Seemed to have kept the region quiet for a few years (while Saudi Arabia and Israel started to at least look in each others direction for a bit). Maybe solutions to Palestinian racism aren't all the complex after all?

Brendan O'Neill podcast with Bridget Phetasy gave decent coverage on today's insane politics in the West and how that has given us so many apologists for Hamas terrorists. The one after that with Graham Linehan zooms in particularly on the mad politics of trans rights. Not as good, but both very listenable (in a depressing way).

And if that's not enough, Jo Nova has some Aussie depressing reading on the "Snowy 2.0" debacle. That was another Prime-Minsterial vanity project, and good deal more expensive than the referendum. I hope renewables don't get any cheaper or the whole country will be bankrupt.
