2022-01-16 You’re Wrong About Hydrogen Cars
This 4 day new LTT video about hydrogen EVs has a much more impartial view of hydrogen EVs. Elon calls hydrogen “… a staggeringly dumb form of energy storage…” But if you compare it to ICEVs, it’s nowhere near as bad. And right now, most vehicles are ICEVs using even more inefficient gasoline. Elon should be less biased and less critical of hydrogen EVs.
In the video they showed a 700 bar (10,000 PSI) hydrogen tank being shot with a bullet and said there was no explosion.
One issue they pointed out is that BEVs like Teslas are heavy cars due to the heavy batteries needed for decent range. This compromises the ride and handling. Hydrogen EVs are not as heavy and have a better ride and handling.
The biggest issue is getting ‘H70’ filling stations built but governments are subsidizing these stations.

Floating solar panels now online in China – 320 MW – largest at this time. A 600 MW floating solar array will be built in India. He gives some important figures.
2022-01-14 New Tesla Model In China
Tesla new model line coming in China: expansion and hiring underway. This could be the $25,000 model. Contract with shipping company to ship globally. This could mean Tesla may sell this made in China model in the US.

2022-01-13 DOE Upgrade To Electric Grid
They say this is big news. We *need* to have many interconnections between the Eastern and Western power grids. And Texas, too if they had common sense. Several DC interties need to be built so the west can send electricity to the east during daytime.

2022-01-13 Environmentally Friendly States, Least & Most
America’s least and most environmentally friendly states. The figures this article gives don’t make sense. For example, #32, New Jersey says the fossil fuels and renewables add up to 5% total. Where is the remaining 95% of the energy coming from? They say the figures come from the government – EIA. There seems to be a lot that they’re not telling us.
I don’t understand why they show #33 Texas as having only 1.2% renewables, and only 24% fossil fuels. Texas has a huge amount of wind turbines — over 30 GW! That’s equivalent to 30 full-size thermal power plants!

On top of these battery energy storage projects, there is the Johanna BESS that Southern California Edison will be commissioning in Santa Ana, California.
2022-01-12 Printer Ink Cartridges Are A Ripoff
From FB group
The article said DRM, but it didn’t make sense to me either. But what makes me wonder is why do they go to the trouble and expense to put a chip in the cartridge if it’s just a matter of accepting the prompt that appears??? What purpose does the chip serve?
The whole printer ink thing seems a bit absurd. I had only one color inkjet printer and hardly ever used it, because at that time, 20+ years ago a set of cartridges cost $75.00 and I thought that was outrageous.
Then I found out that the companies were selling each printer with less than full cartridges! That forced the customer into prematurely buying the expensive cartridges! I think it was the reason why so many went to Kinko’s to do their printing.
2022-01-12 Solar Thermal Generation Lab
Heliostats and solar thermal generation.
The advantage of storing the heat at night is not needed if the electricity is used to generate hydrogen, which serves the same purpose – storage. The real advantage is being able to deploy this system for cheaper than other solar electricity systems.
