🔴 In 1977, astronomers detected a one-time radio burst from deep space — the mysterious “Wow! signal.” It hit 1420 MHz, the key hydrogen line linked to the search for intelligent life.
It appeared once… never again… and its source remains unknown.

CCS is an expensive failed technology with a 50-year record of hot air & hype. This project will do next to nothing for climate, jobs, #EnergySecurity, or people’s wallets.

Benzene (linked to cancer), sulphur dioxide + hydrogen sulphide were emitted but the firm states this didn't result in "increased health risk to the community". So, there's been a thorough, independent + peer-reviewed investigation into the health impacts before they stated this with certainty?

Water wires are short-lived chains of water molecules linked by hydrogen bonds. Researchers have devised a way to measure them optically. The new technique could be used to study how water-wires influence proton transfer and other biochemical processes.

(Btw, people have problems with both hydrogen buses and electric buses in general, as explained by the two posts I linked. Emissions of diesel buses may be less important than getting people out of their cars, which means expanding bus service. Transit agencies often have to decide between them.)

Excellent takedown of the motivated "colored squares" approach to alternatives analysis, and explainer for the drawbacks for hydrogen fuel vehicles (high facility costs, generated from natural gas, international retreat from the technology). Props to CER for publishing their own grid.
