The pipes seem to be a done deal as they were used in gas extraction in the ocean before, I believe. We already have the infrastructure, we just need to repurpose them.

I think there'll always be some sort of electricity power loss over vast distances, not entirely sure the details. I merely watched a documentary/news on TV about what we're going to do with those old gas extraction plants. I think not just wind power but also ocean current power would be utilized.

Pumped hydro would be kind of impossible here in The Netherlands, we can't have dams.. after all where would we have the height difference? ;) But we have plenty of ocean and water around us and we already have wind parks.

And with regards to nuclear plants, I understand there are blueprints for smaller plants that can power a few cities at the same time. When one goes down, it's less of a danger than one huge plant. They would be a bit faster to build too and easier to maintain. I hope that it'll be an improvement and easier to build so that it can be deployed much easier and faster.

@fulkrum I believe types.pl has blocked qoto.org, not much we can do about it.

@muffins AI thinking outside the box, who'd have thought!

@BioFris@mastodon.nl So is angling your camera correctly.

@WendyW That's going to smell great when you're back home. 😋

@knuppelbeer Het is zeker waterig hier in het noorden. Geen weer om naar buiten te gaan.

That was an interesting watch and the subtitles are very well done (otherwise I couldn't watch it).

That aside, I believe the future is in electric vehicles. But... hydrogen can still be used for transport of energy. My country is currently preparing hydrogen transport pipes for the wind farms in the North Sea, because electric cables would lose a lot of power over vast distances.

Once the hydrogen reaches the land it'll go to power plants which then can utilize the hydrogen far more efficiently than individual little transport vehicles could. Then it could dish out the power in the form of electricity.

I wish this video would've touched upon that, because it'd be fairly green energy. We already have the wind farms, we already have the pipes, we just need to add an electricity-to-hydrogen thingy near the wind farms, transport the hydrogen over, and then put them in power plan ts. I wonder what Sabine's opinion about this would be.

I also wonder how hydrogen could be utilized as a 'battery' for the excess of solar and wind power on some days that would just get lost otherwise.

Next to hydrogen I would consider nuclear energy to be the best option.

I believe it is Qoto's own hosted Git thingy, and I think anyone can join. @freemo would be the better one to ask.

@SETIEric It's a trap!

@TheOldGuy Sammy has very big feet!

@knuppelbeer Daar heb ik niet veel last van. Ik ben te snel verveeld met alles tegenwoordig, zeker met onzin.

@ambulocetus If he ever gets done. 😋

@fonso_s From experience I can tell you this is going to be a sticky mess with most tapes. 😅

@ambulocetus Sure is a long climb. 😋
