Such an excellent illustration of how inefficient fossil fuels are and how manufactured our dependency actually is.
Close to half of all shipping traffic worldwide is just moving fossil fuels around
Shell stopped its 🇩🇪 German Hydrogen Project
Following Norway's Equinor, Shell has now also canceled its H2 plans to supply Germany with hydrogen produced from natural gas. Reason: uneconomical, no market, no prospects. This puts an end to the plans to use hydrogen as an electricity storage medium.
Jan Soppeland, Communications Director at Shell, told the Norwegian newspaper Energi og Klima that the company has shelved its plans to produce up to 450,000 tonnes of blue hydrogen per year in Norway by 2030.
It is not cost-effective to continue with the project. There is no market for blue hydrogen and there are no signs that the market is on its way to maturity. Green hydrogen is clearly favoured, says Soppeland. However, the demand from industrial customers for green hydrogen is too low.
"We haven't seen the market for blue hydrogen materialise and decided not to progress the project," said a spokesperson for Shell in Norway.
Hydrogen as an energy source is just as stupid an idea as using hydrogen for transport. There are very few sensible applications for green hydrogen, such as in steel or glass production. https://t.co/vYvNCEhuoZ

@MaxFlugrath Why isn’t this discussed more? During #Trump rally in Georgia weeks ago,he named the 3 election clerks who he wants to help him with #electioninterference. I watched the rally live. Fire them! @CNN@MSNBC@NYT we know you no longer care about #Democracy. So you won’t investigate.
@RobertJMolnar@DebraDebra54us And what about the scenario not certifying the outcome, exploding the system and take control through violence? This was mentioned as a threat by a number of people lately
Ummm.
Elon’s Twitter has shut down the @ElevenFilms account. They can’t comment, like or RT.
Can we get some air support?
RT and share the video Eleven Films just released: #DemocratsDefendDemocracy

BREKING. The Economist heeft gekeken welke steden het meest lijden onder het massatoerisme. Op basis van twee indicatoren (aantal bezoekers per inwoner, besteding per inwoner) komt men tot de conclusie dat Amsterdam in deze wereldrangorde met stip op de eerste plaats staat.
