there are still coal powerplants around and any replacement is better. geothermal doesn't work everywhere
(pref sea water)
doesn't matter because you have to purify it anyway
direct hydrogen uses that make sense given hydrogen is cheap are ammonia, methanol (also from biomass), steel and generally speaking fine chemicals. methanol and ammonia can be used as fuels for cases where BEVs don't work, like shipping. this also requires monstrous overbuild of power grid
prerequisite for cheap hydrogen (cheap electricity) will also make further electrification make sense and that eats lunch of hydrogen use for power even before hydrogen infra buildout happens
Coal ash (from some mines) contains so much uranium that if emissions like this were detected near NPP all hell would break loose, but nobody cares. Energy content of that uranium can be higher than what was released during coal combustion
for hydrogen propulsion to make sense prerequisite is to have lots of cheap green hydrogen, which mean very cheap renewable electricity, by which point there's no need because electric cars are more direct replacement. but there are applications where hydrogen is used directly, as a reagent instead of as energy source and can be made from renewable electricity. Yara makes some of fertilizer this way and there's a pilot plant for green steelmaking in sweden iirc. it just so happens that now cheapest hydrogen is made from gas
this also pulls in different directions because people building renewable generation don't want electricity price to be too low
it replaces gas turbine with a fuel cell, which is a good couple % more efficient than CCGT. still under development. there is also another variant where hot offgas is generated under pressure and expanded directly. no steam, same effect
there is a power generation scheme that uses high temperature fuel cells. optimally it could run on hydrogen only, but because it runs hot, it is able to take almost any flammable gas, along with some steam, and it forms hydrogen internally, then oxidizes it. this alone generates bulk of electricity, but offgas is hot, so it goes to heat exchanger which boils water, which then turns steam turbine
if it's that thick, i expect it's some kind of pharmaceutical dissolved in oil. over time oil, like sesame oil, will gum up and darken like this
hexbear userbase are tankies/campists with extreme brigading habit, this is why many instances are defederated from them. including this one
mods of a comm that has "fuck tankies" in tagline have a vote and agree to remove a tankie mod. there are receipts and entire post prepared in advance

at the same time said mod is removed as admin of a couple of matrix rooms. said mod is also db0 admin and seems to like leftist unity as long as it's done her way only. three hours later she wakes up and her next move is to grab another, completely unrelated community and to move instances from blahaj to db0, a community where she was inactive as a mod for months, specifically so that it would be exposed to hexbear. we all know it works very well. it seems like this move was talked about with db0 admins but not other mods of said community.
this doesn't go as intended, blahaj admin steps in and removes that mod from there too. the new community on db0 is also removed, which is something that can be only done by admin, presumably some other db0 admin. then said mod makes second big post, calls blahaj admin a reactionary, steps down as a db0 admin ("voluntarily", somehow i doubt that), moves shop to hexbear (?)

nfc tag and card might try to transmit at the same time that's why it's asking to remove it
