“Green” Hydrogen Subsidies Are 1,900x Larger Than What’s Given To Nuclear - Robert Bryce - Substack
As I noted in May in “The H Stands For Hype,” few segments of the energy sector have gotten more media hype in recent years than hydrogen.
- That hype has gone into overdrive because of fat government subsidies.
Here in the U.S., the 45V tax credit in the Inflation Reduction Act provides lucrative subsidies for hydrogen production. Big business is lining up to get those subsidies. In February, energy giant Exxon Mobil warned that it might cancel a proposed hydrogen project at its Baytown, Texas refinery depending on how the Treasury Department interpreted the “clean” hydrogen rules in the IRA. Regardless of tax credits and subsidies, making and using hydrogen is a high-entropy, high-cost process. As a friend in the oil refining business told me last year, “If you like $6-per-gallon gasoline, you’re gonna love $14-to-$20-per-gallon hydrogen.”…Hydrogen is insanely expensive, in energy terms, to manufacture. It takes about three units of energy, in the form of electricity, to produce two units of hydrogen energy. In other words, the hydrogen economy requires scads of electricity (a high quality form of energy) to make a tiny molecule that’s hard to handle, difficult to store, and expensive to use.

The Obama Effect - American Thinker
- A coincidence is, “the occurrence of events that happen at the same time... but seem to have some connection.”
- That seems to be the case whenever Barack Obama is in close relationship with left-leaning world leaders or directly involved in an American election. ..
- The problem for us is that the string puppets Obama handpicked make Stalin, Lenin, and Karl Marx seem like harmless frat boys.
Alinsky’s rules attempt to stifle free speech, individual rights, new ideas, and any critique of Marxist (Trotskyist) ideology, gagging all opposition with consensus methods, political correctness, critical race theory, censorship, intimidation, and, finally, violence. ‘They have the guns and therefore we are for peace and reformation through the ballot. When we have the guns then it will be through the bullet…’America is within a hair’s breadth of accomplishing all those goals...

Instapundit - Washington Post’s Cleve Wootson asked if the government has a “role” in tackling “misinformation”
The New Hotness? Why did a Washington Post reporter urge the White House to censor Trump?
...Earlier this week, a Washington Post reporter took it to the next level by openly suggesting the government get in on the game.
During a White House press briefing, the Washington Post’s Cleve Wootson asked if the government has a “role” in tackling “misinformation” and if President Joe Biden planned to “intervene” in Trump’s X Space.
“I think that misinformation on Twitter is not just a campaign issue.
It’s a — you know, it’s an America issue. What role does the White House or the president have any sort of stopping that or stopping the spread of that or sort of inter — intervening in that. Some of that was about campaign misinformation, but you know it’s a wider thing, right?” Wootson asked....
Ukraine Will Spend $20 Billion in US Aid to Build Green Energy David Strom
- I, for one, am excited that in the midst of a U.S.-funded war with Russia, Ukraine has committed to spend $20 billion it doesn't have to green up its energy sector.
- Will all that diesel fuel being expended to run tanks and transport trucks, the country really has to offset its carbon emissions.
- What I don't yet know is whether Ukraine will close down farms, transition to insect protein, and build 15-minute cities to save planet Earth as Ukrainians get slaughtered on the battlefield.
- Perhaps announcements regarding these other Gaia-friendly measures will come soon. Or, perhaps they can go all Soylent Green on us using battlefield casualties...

Biden – Harris plan to expedite removal of illegal migrant families was a colossal failure - Kevin Haggerty
