Week 32

FHCEA: "How the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 Will Advance a U.S. Hydrogen Economy.. [IRA] of 2022 was recently introduced by Senators Manchin and Majority Leader Schumer. The new legislation would invest $369 billion in energy security and climate change provisions, including new and critical ones for hydrogen and fuel cells"

H2 View: "Russian university is looking to develop hydrogen technologies.. The Siberian Federal University’s School of Natural Gas and Petroleum has opened a new ‘intersectoral’ research centre for innovative technologies, the SIDERA Centre, with plans of introducing hydrogen technologies into various industries"

"Saudi Arabian oil company Aramco and SABIC Agri-Nutrients (AN) Company announced the firms have obtained the world’s first independent certifications recognising blue hydrogen and ammonia production. Aramco said in a statement the German-based testing, inspection, and certification agency TÜV Rheinland granted the certifications to SABIC AN for 37,800 tonnes of blue ammonia and Aramco’s wholly owned refinery for 8,075 tonnes of blue hydrogen"

"Goldman Sachs doesn’t see nuclear as a transformational technology for the future"

"Oracle Power PLC, the international natural resources project developer announce that the Company has received a letter from the Directorate of Alternative Energy of the Government of Sindh confirming that it will issue a LOI to Oracle regarding the establishment of a 1,200MW hybrid solar/wind, green hydrogen/power project in Pakistan"

Don't have suitable salt cavern location for H2 storage? Pipe storage is possible, feasible, cheap.

Vacancy rate, the number of job openings per unemployed which shows "labor market tightness" is through the roof. The great resignation might have had an effect here.

Alex Jones gets [a] thing wrong.. apologizes dozens of times, and he has to pay $4M via court order. MSM deliberately lies every day, yet no court orders to pay anyone anything"

That is a good campaign jab

"John Fetterman Enlists New Jersey Legend Steven Van Zandt To Troll Dr. Oz.. Fetterman on Tuesday posted a video of the New Jersey legend, musician-actor Steven Van Zandt, telling Oz.. 'What are you doing in Pennsylvania? Everybody knows you live in New Jersey.. come on back to Jersey where you belong and we’ll have some fun, eh? We’ll go to the beach. We’ll go surfing. You know? C’mon.'"

Excellent.

Long-ass numbers. To pick something out of a list (song, video) take mod (divide, use remainder) by number of items, that's your random item picker.

Says 'find an output that is transient'; I guess the output of a Unix process list is pretty transient - new programs get created, destroyed, their uptime, ordering can change that changes the output, which will give a near-random looking digest.

Unix book suggests take output of ps gaux generate a digest (single number) from it.. Good idea

Random num generator not looking good.. I started noticing repeats on my jukebox. New one is needed.

If international institutions had muscle and foresight coulda preempt some of this - but now navies are patroling the area, there can be a nice little war one day with gazillions of interests at risk.

According to 1923 Lausanne Treaty the islands near Asia Minor were supposed to be demilitarized. This rule has not been followed by Greece.

Now here's some crazier stuff; TR/US rel soured. Russkie has access to EastMed (through Syria) and soon perhaps most of northern Black Sea EEZ. A confluence of interest occured, TR can increase RU rel, provide transit to RU exports, and buy more military hardware from Russia, and in return receive some naval RU help in the EastMed. TR/RU on one side, Greece, Egypt, Israel, (EU?) on the other.

Planned EastMed pipeline, first found problematic (by US/EU now back in play due to problems with Russian gas) goes right through disputed areas

[-]

Greece and Egypt have a counter-agreement that contradicts Libya-TR, it's a big "EEZ off".

[-]

That's why the so-called "Blue Homeland" EEZ was enacted unilaterally since 2013, and is now being followed. The corridor with Libya was agreed upon based on this EEZ.

[-]

The problem between Greece and Asia Minor is Greece has too many islands close to AM restricting its access - combined with Cyprus (the whole of which is still considered Greek) the EEZs become massive. That ain't fair for homie.

[-]

12 nautical miles off coast is territorial waters.

200 nautical miles is EEZ (exclusive econ zone, rights for exploitation of resources).

If EEZ of two countries overlap, a line is drawn in the middle usually. Example Sri Lanka and India here.

:) Good one.. But that too isn't exactly original (see 2019 news item)
