    Actually it is not stored at 1 Bar pressure. Hydrogen is stored in pressurized tanks. So the volume in the table is not relevant. However weight is. There is a reason why Hydrogen is an attractive fuel.

    Sorry perhaps you do not understand how to read energy density table. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... Notice by weight Hydrogen has the highest of any chemical energy. Perhaps you if you want to comment here you should look some stuff up.

    Who debunked Hydrogen? Oh Musk (who committed billions to batteries) gave a few possible issues. Hydrogen may not be ready but it is a fantastic fuel with the highest energy density and burns to produce water. Now lets not write it off because it is not in the current model Tesla.

    Who are these economists who predicted this? the problem is not too much success but too many illegal aliens and drug addicts. Giving them money will not solve the problem.

    Actually taking companies money to "give to the poor." is like a wife taking all the money to invest in her husbands business and giving it to the poor.

    Now the family is broke, has no income and the poor have spent the money and are no better off.

    Batteries are weaker or have less storage at low temperature. Typically a Li-Po battery will work to about 14 degrees F (But reduced capacity as it gets colder.) and some batteries don't want to be charged below 32. If you use a LifePo4 type I think they go a lot lower like about -20 F but still the actual amount of energy you get out goes down with temperature. Also there are high temperature limits for charging which is where thermal management comes in (i.e. don't charge if too hot). Not sure you need any thermal management on the cold side except that your power runs out sooner. Same is true with Lead Acid batteries in cars but they go down a bit lower fortunately for those who live in very cold places, still the same capacity loss issue at cold temperatures.

    Surely a small upgrade would be to put accurate (2cm) GPS onto these bird scooters and then auto fine someones account if they don't follow the rules. In fact the city should require this kind of technology. Probably not possible everywhere (since there is the urban canyon effect throwing accuracy off in places) but should work in a lot of places there.

    As for the homeless, I really cannot see the relevance to the rest of what is going on. People are homeless, stop and feel sorry for them?

  9. You mean ice? there is no water in liquid form on Mars and if it did exist it would very soon be gone. Due to the low pressure the boiling point of water on Mars is very low so it would evaporate very very quickly.

    Level of assumptions is bigger than that. It is assumed (with zero evidence) that where there is liquid water there is life.

    Why assume something like this? Mainly because liquid water is a requirement for life and it is rare to find liquid water. So the possibility of finding life due to water is a zero, however those that think so do not make good headlines. Scientists who are willing to say ohhh water so possibly life make better headlines.

    How the US deals with them should be correct, we would be stupid (were being stupid) to let enemies get Nukes if we can stop them. Only someone sick in the head would let that happen (by the way this is what happened prior to WWII with Germany.) They burn our flags chant death to America etc. They announce themselves as our enemy.

    For some sort of insanity people want to let our enemies get Nukes. How long have we heard crying that Trump was going to cause a nuclear war with North Korea?

    Now we are going to get the same crying about Iran for a while from the same people. I say go ahead and cry, but fortunately as good or bad as trump is he is not all FUD (like Obama wrt Iran and this whole sh*t deal we just canned. It was a sham to make people feel good.)

    So you have proof? or is this based on a Musk rant. Is it possible that Teslas are already a very safe care (without AP.) Yes so you cannot do a straight comparison. Also owners of Teslas are rich, and as racist (or something similar) that it may seem to say so rich people tend to drive responsibly compared to the average population. Not the average number of street races and running from cops etc. Also you use autopilot on the boring bits where you are driving straight and roads are good etc. Also many other factors which make your statistical proof fairly meaningless. Maybe MUCH SAFER is good marketing and true in the mind of Musk but more difficult to prove that just comparing with the average road death rate.

    Everyone supports a theory that can be reproduced in a lab, but that the earths climate is drastically impacted is a totally different thing, this is a conclusion.

    There is a difference between pro-gress and progressive which is progressives don't care about progress as much as forcing the world to believe, obey and agree (with them.) People if you feel hatred rising in you because I post something you don't agree with then be suspicious that the progressive thinking has started to control your thoughts.

    You know if we went back ten years and looked at the predictions looking forward, by now the polar icecaps would have melted and the oceans would have risen etc etc. They keep on changing the goal posts to just around the corner but to be honest they seem to be getting a bit more believable because they are talking about 100 years into the future instead of 10. But why if they were wrong last time will they be right this time. I know you have all sorts of data that 'proves' stuff. But that is not really science, that is guess work based on some facts. Even in science the proof is in the pudding and any scientist who claims that are certain about this kind of stuff is either dreaming, deluded or so full of their own computer model that they would believe anything. How do computer models work and how are they calibrated? It is a big set of guesses assumptions with a few facts thrown in that prove nothing.

    Anyway your 95% crap got me on a rant sorry. It is just the kind of false proof that people offer without knowing what it really means, another statistic without meaning but stated to intimidate those who disagree with the progressive agenda.

    Please quote 97% of climate scientists agree. Which is a discredited number but still widely quoted because the science is now irrelevant. It has become part of the progressives agenda, so they don't want to hear from science that disagrees with their conclusion (not very scientific to do that imho.) and because my post questions the accepted progressive view it will be marked troll and modded down, yawn.

    There is a difference between investing and gambling. I think short investment would be 3 months kind of time in which case you are mostly interested in news cycles. But if you don't want the share price to go off the edge of a cliff then you probably want to know that the company has some sort of strong fundamental reasons for investing in it. PE ratio is not the only fundamental but it does show a huge comparative picture of how the share compares to other investment opportunities. This understanding the fundamentals is Warren Buffet kind of investing, you may think he is not the best investor in the world but he has had a lot of success.

They don't just have the DNA here. More scary is witness testimony where it is basically he said she said. DNA may be a little off sometimes but it will rarely work out to the only evidence once they find who it is and investigate.
