Father; husband; mechanical engineer. Posting from my self-hosted Lemmy instance here in beautiful New Jersey. I also post from my Pixelfed instance.
If you’re not opposed to digital, then maybe you could set up an RSS feed reader to just update weekly. Or maybe you could just subscribe to weekly newsletters. Wouldn’t want you to get a paper cut.
The ADL’s response is included in the article. It’s predictably petulant, but they didn’t go that far.
The greatest humiliation.
If any country (with exceptions) is behind on nuclear power, then the whole world is behind. Not good!
New, official Spider-Man stories get released all the time. What’s stopping the writers from including a school shooting in a plot? Maybe they already have. Maybe school shootings aren’t a big problem in Queens (that’s where Peter Parker is from, right?).
I do care about facts, but relevance and context matter.
For sure. The fossil fuel industry is absolutely insidious.
This article is a little old, but it explains the problems on the disposal side pretty well. This one covers the production side. Hydrogen powered vehicles avoid all that.
That’s fascinating. Thank you for sharing. I guess these specific bacterial ecosystems would suffer, so to speak. Perhaps there should be rules to prevent oil and gas deposits from being completely depleted, or some could be set aside as nature preserves.
None of those things are in situ combustion thermal recovery. It may well be that this method isn’t appropriate for the process described in the paper. The paper also suggests RF thermal recovery as an alternative. The process just requires additional heat besides the steam to affect the SMR reaction and get the hydrogen out.
“That good of a storage method” in terms of what, arbitrage? We should be producing hydrogen for the practical and environmental benefits of having emissions-free vehicle fuel (that avoids the problems of battery production and disposal), steel, and fertilizer.
I never said it was good. I said it was a well established practice in response to @[email protected] who seemed surprised that anyone would even consider it. I was surprised to learn about it as well, but it makes sense to use the oil or gas in the deposit to directly help fuel the process.
I’m unaware of any examples of subterranean carbon monoxide storage. However, underground helium storage has been done successfully for a while. Helium is one of the best gases at leaking because of its small size, which should provide some reassurance as to the storage of larger gases underground.
I agree that greed and corporate malfeasance are a thing, but it’s kind of a separate problem. The government is either going to enforce environmental regulations and manage our resources properly or it’s not.
I do. I hope they will explain.
In some cases, yes.
Are you implying that there are subterranean ecosystems somehow dependent on natural gas deposits that are harmed by the exploitation of these resources?
Not sure what direction to point you in. Gas storage in geological formations has been successfully practiced in the helium and natural gas industries for a while. Subterranean storage of carbon dioxide has also been successfully demonstrated. Apparently, there’s a big gas field being used for this purpose off the coast of Norway since 1996.
You forgot to quote the rest of that sentence. We need hydrogen, which is easy to get from natural gas, of which there is a lot. The right thing to do is figure out how to use it without emitting greenhouse gases. The problem is the same whether we’re under the current mode of production or some hypothetical moneyless condition.
Wouldn’t it make as much sense for him to have a Spanish accent?
