Technology

We've been talking about energy and energy storage up till now. You've been mostly 'on track' with said responses up till this point - albeit overly generic and somewhat disconnected from reality... In the last couple responses you've jumped from water care to what I can only imagine was the first two Google results when looking up hydrogen / oxygen paired with energy.

Is the other guy okay or did his shift end?

Look. Here's a sobering bottom line: if it were technologically feasible to "replace batteries" we would have already. Hydrogen powered x isn't functionally acceptable because:

a) It stores like shit.

b) boom (pressure or rapid combustion - take your pick)

c) It is shockingly (hah) hard to get oxygen and hydrogen to split efficiently. Very few sources of hydrogen are actually energy positive or more efficient than what we already have in more convenient, safer, higher density forms.

I'm all for progress... but armchair warriors that claim the "moral high ground" by shitting on what works currently - while not being able to provide a single other suggestion beyond what they got drip fed from their feed and distilled by their echo ~~group~~ chamber need to sit the fuck down. Want to "stick it to big battery?" Go back to landlines. Put a crank back on your car. The list goes on.

I digress. Back to energy storage: if you've got some brilliant solution - get to it. We're waiting.
