Hydrogen cars flopped, but fuel cells are finding new life in trucks and boats.

From : "Mining trucks, cement mixers, and terminal tractors all seem like the perfect use of hydrogen fuel cells. But they run into the same challenges around price and fueling."

The latest Ethical Consumer magazine asks, Is it possible to live a good life when your life is centred around a cycle of insemination, pregnancy, loss, lactation and ultimately slaughter - with little bodily autonomy

Globally, contributes 14.5% of human-made emissions with dairy contributing around 20% of that amount.

To argue that we can safely overshoot 1.5C, or any amount of warming, is saying the quiet bit out loud: we simply dont care about the increasing amount of suffering and deaths that will be caused while the recovery is worked on.

About 500,000 cut down at gigafactory

Satellite images show 329 hectares (813 acres) of forest cut down at the site between March 2020 & May 2023. That is equivalent to approximately 500,000 trees.

Dozens of environmental incidents have been reported at the site where millions of battery cells are also produced including leaks or spills of diesel fuel, paint and aluminium.

In summer 2023, faced an unprecedented wildfire crisis, burning 150,000 sq km. Extreme heat (+2.2C) and drought fueled the fires, displacing 232,000 people.

The study warns that under the most extreme carbon emission scenarios, such conditions could be the norm by 2050.

The devastation doesn't just stop with the fires. Vast areas of young forests may struggle to recover, potentially causing permanent shifts in ecosystems.

Build for resilience because there is no longer a feasible orderly transition to a warmer world available.

a transition to pure H2 is not possible without significant retrofits and replacements. Even if technical and economic barriers are overcome, serious safety and environmental risks remain.
