Your only input is your super cheap electricity and water. Your own logic dictates that hydrogen must be cheap. Scaling up is the only thing that has to happen. You should stop doing logical backflips and making nonsensical comparisons.

And BEVs are well over a hundred years old. You are so fucking dishonest, it's seriously painful talking to you. You didn't even register the part where I said hydrogen boats already exist. You aren't even trying to have a co

Because prototype vehicles are not supposed to be profit centers. The fact that now you are shifting to cars shows how uninterested you were in this topic to begin with. Please stop making shit up. We already have seen people reuse or at le

Clean energy is regularly free or even negatively priced. It is at the very least, extremely cheap. It's funny how PV panels at 20% efficiency never stopped it from catching on. Making the same accusation against hydrogen is just repea

You could've said the same thing about anything before it hits mass production. Wind and solar were expensive too at one point. It is not much of an argument. The thing about hydrogen is that is made from an extremely plentiful resourc

Have you forgotten what your goal is? It is to get ships to zero emissions. Not force a physically nonsensical idea onto the shipping world. You've already admitted that solar is just $0.02/kWh. You can do the rest of the math and

Uh no. You are looking at a 20% load factor with solar, plus massive seasonal variations. It is completely non-doable with batteries. Seriously, you seem like someone who is obsessed with doing it with batteries, not a person even remotely

> If you want a green solution they get charged from a solar or wind farm sitting near the port. This is just you handwaving the problem away. You will need a very reliable supply of energy for this. It actual makes more sense to convert

And how do those cargo containers get charged? Or how can they be connected together so easily? Or how much cargo space will get taken up them? Nevermind the cost of all of that. Again, the wind turbines you are suggest are far too big for

You're not putting anything like a 16MW wind turbine on a cargo ship. That thing is practically larger than the ship itself. Nor do wind turbines generate 16MW continuously. This is all just handwaving the fundamental problems away. Yo

Your bet is based off of magical batteries from the future. This is not at all a coherent counterargument to nuclear. Nevermind the very concept of having redundant systems, or admitting the possibility of nuclear getting cheaper. You can e

by _hypx 3y ago
I don't think you fully grasp the sheer inability of batteries to power a cargo ship. It is something like 50x too low energy density to work. Even with wind power, it is still far from being able to pull this off. Not to mention cost:

That's simply not true. China is building more nuclear power: https://archive.ph/W7JFd Also note they're nowhere near as costly as Vogtle.

It's funny to see people suddenly say this is doable, even though many posters in the past have claimed that it is totally impossible. The problem ultimately is that CO₂ capture from the air is another expense that has to be paid, both

Windows in planes can be replaced by LCD screens. I don't think they are necessary at all. In fact, they already sell cruise ship cabins with this feature. I've yet to hear anyone talk about this as a showstopper problem.

ASML is the only provider of EUV lithographic machines. TSMC is just slightly ahead of Samsung and Intel at utilizing that technology. I honestly can't see how anymore puts TSMC above ASML.

The economic crisis has been brewing for a long time. No country can just ignore basic economics forever. They have been living off of borrowed time (and borrowed money) for a while now. The bill will come due soon. This is eerily similar t

If you are relying on wind and solar, then you will need energy storage. You will have to take the losses into account. You’ve already admitted this partially by acknowledging 25% losses with pumped hydro. But not everywhere has pumped hydr

My gut feeling is that it will just wrap everything inside of JS objects, and then reuse the JS GC. But then performance would be nearly identical to writing the same things in JS.
