  • That’s cute.

    I studied military history and military science in university and was in the military, both active duty and national guard.

    You’re a fantastic example of the gap between ‘thinks they know what they’re talking about’ and ‘has actually humped a ruck, shot a ma deuce, moved an armor division, and provided comms for entire operations’.

    I wish there was some way to impart this, but am sick of retyping: the next civil war will not resemble the past civil war, it’s an entirely new and different equation with completely different variables.

    Just the distribution of forces alone. But also the makeup of the military. And the command and control capabilities.

    they had telegraphs. that’s as fast as information could move. trust me when I tell you times have changed.

    or don’t. gonna block you now so I don’t have to endure any more of your sillyness

    I specifically dislike it’s comparison as a replacement for gas and ev vehicles. end users handling cryogenic fuels or handling fuels that could potentially be highly explosive don’t strike me as winners.

    you’re changing the narrative somewhat with the caveat of ‘as storage for renewable surpluses’ - this is NOT what the hydrogen production that traditional petroleum companies are focused on; there is potential - especially if the hydrogen can be collected from the air, reducing the need for storage infrastructure and handling. But moving it around? Trucking it around lol? at cryogenic temps and pressures?

    hard to justify with such very small energy density.


  • Hydrogen because it comes from oil.

    and because it requires a large, centralized infrastructure they can control. if you could pull hydrogen out of the air cheaply, anywhere, they wouldn’t be in on hydrogen.

    meanwhile it’s really a dead end anyway, barring leaps in fuel cell technology. who wants to deal with the pressures and infrastructure to move around cryogenic liquids?

    People are already morons with gasoline, and they want to add pressure lol?

    it’s a dead end, and a silly one. but big petroleum will use it to muddy the waters and keep pumping oil
