Trump did a lot of terrific reforms, but he did not have the expertise of The Left, which took over buildings & disrupting judicial appointments, just months earlier.
In the case of The Leftists, the proxies went to jail for short periods of time, because the proxies had several levels of indirection, these proxies were “useful idiots”, and were not able to [or compromised government was unwilling to] directly trace back formerly treasonous activities [stopping appointment of government official in the judicial branch] to an individual, so their violence kept the hands of leftists in power quite clean.
Trump attempting to direct protests, fell victim to those he could not control: registered Democrat family carrying a civil war rebel flag, global warming animal ski wearing dude who leads occult prayers while carrying a spear everywhere, militia with x-military trans activist who formerly protected BLM rioters, Antifa & BLM rioter who called days earlier to storm the Whitehouse & rip Trump from his chair while organizing a leftist rally wearing Trump hats, and many others just looking for a riot… these types were also charged (some convicted) of storming the legislature building.
Trump made the mistake of having a rally & telling them to peaceably make themselves known.
Dumb move… Trump should never have directed anything to the protesters, even to do something “peaceably”, and even tried directing them to “go home peacefully”
Sure, leftists direct protesters through speeches & media to “get in their faces” and “never give them peace”… but seldom tell them to do anything “now”.
Trump may have a high price to pay for making the mistake, thinking that only his supporters, who would follow his directions, would be in DC at that time. Dumb move.

@evilsimeon - “1/3rd energy density and requires energy to produce it”
Yep. Many renewables outside Hydro don’t have a way to store their power for any period of time, making them inherently unreliable & less valuable.
What makes energy valuable is the ability to store it until it is needed. The sunlight is available about half the time & not truly valued.
How much energy does it take to cut trees, split wood, stack wood, and move it to to be burned? It is not a terribly efficient process. Wood is still used as a renewable energy source, largely because it is local.
Sure, H2 can be a carrier of energy, but it can be 100% used in Europe, by Europe, for Europe, making Europe energy independent. H2 can be local. H2 can be made more portable than wood, by storing in portable tanks. H2 is more easily transported in pipes. H2 usage basically creates clouds, to rain somewhere else.
Efficiency is is not as important when it becomes unavailable. Civilizations need reliable & portable ways of storing energy, for later harvesting, more than they need efficient ways.

“reliance on fossil fuels is a liability”
Actually, a single supplier is the liability.
Fossil fuels has shown it’s resilience, since there are multiple suppliers, if those who are dependent upon them have multiple ways to receive the energy.
Solar cells, predominantly coming from one national manufacturing nation, is now highlighted as an incredible risk.
Batteries, predominantly coming from one national manufacturing nation, is now highlighted as an incredible risk.
The dependency on renewables, like solar & wind, on Natural Gas… is also now highlighted as an incredible risk.
Better for Europe to be investing in Natural Gas, hydrogen production to replace it, and European H2 to fill the renewable gaps.

@hasinabegum1038 - “what Islamist terrorists”
Geneva Convention declares militants are not to mix civilian with military… to suppress civilian casualties.
Terrorism is violence against civilians to cause governmental change.
Hamas places military detention centers under hospitals, controls for launching rockets in Mosques, rocket launchers in children’s scouting centers, etc.
Hamas went into a neighboring nation, decapitated babies, raped women, killed men, abducted survivors, and these were all civilians ranging from a music festival to the homes of individuals.
The charter of Hamas declares themselves the “Islamic Resistance Movement”, linking their professed written name with their repeated actions clearly declares them Islamic Terrorists.
Terrorists have been controlling Palestine for years, and the Palestinians have suffered for it.
It is time to give Palestine the opportunity to stand up a state, instead of Turks & Arabs & Persians encouraging them to fight the wars they are too cowardly to fight.

@markpukey8 - “expect to store that hydrogen?”
Hydrogen can be stored using six different methods and phenomena:
(1) high-pressure gas cylinders (up to 800 bar)
(2) liquid hydrogen in cryogenic tanks (at 21 K)
(3) adsorbed hydrogen on materials with a large specific surface area (at T<100 K)
(4) absorbed on interstitial sites in a host metal (at ambient pressure and temperature)
(5) chemically bonded in covalent and ionic compounds (at ambient pressure)
(6) through oxidation of reactive metals, e.g. Li, Na, Mg, Al, Zn with water.
The most common storage systems are high-pressure gas cylinders with a maximum pressure of 20 MPa (200 bar). New lightweight composite cylinders have been developed which are able to withstand pressures up to 80 MPa (800 bar) and therefore the hydrogen gas can reach a volumetric density of 36 kg.m(-3), approximately half as much as in its liquid state.
When mixed with natural gas, the same old natural gas storage facilities can be used.
“you will lose most of your hydrogen in transit”
Hydrogen is being mixed into Natural Gas in low percentages, today, in existing pipelines & equipment.
Hydrogen is being shipped across oceans, to nations like Japan.
“How much do you consider acceptable losses”
Whatever is necessary to not require blood gas from Russia, colored with the blood of Europeans.
Use small H2 percentages at first in existing natural gas lines. Infrastructure can be updated, as higher percentages of H2 are added to existing Natural Gas lines. Eventually, all the infrastructure can be replaced, decades from now.

@markpukey8 - thank you for the complement in the copy paste!
“You keep imagining…”
That Australia built & shipped Hydrogen to Japan, New Zealand & Canada are building hydrogen export facilities, Georgia [in the US] had successfully run existing generation facilities on 20% H2 mixed with NG, Japan opens 10 MegaWatt Hydrogen Plant, Japan has 160 hydrogen filling stations, etc.
“is more expensive…”
Spot energy prices rise to be more expensive than the energy produced by burning hydrogen, so if hydrogen was only used during peaks - it would be acceptable to existing markets today, allowing NG to be used for non-peak times. Once production is done in mass quantities, it will get cheaper.
“there’s a reason we’re not doing it right now”
Europe cited Ukraine as a future Hydrogen partner… so yes, there is a reason: Germany decided to partner with the belligerent nation that would invade Europe’s perspective H2 partner, Ukraine, not just once, but twice.
The reason is: stupidity. Maybe that was too harsh: self hatred & suicide. Pay the wolf to kill the chicken who was about to lay the proverbial ‘golden eggs’ for Europe.
“help Germany and Europe next month”
They could have started injecting low percentages of hydrogen into existing NG pipelines. It sux Germany was so unprepared after Russia’s 2008 invasion of Georgia, Russia’s 2014 invasion of Ukraine, and now 2022 invasion of Ukraine, Japan can import H2. Oh well.
Germany is now accelerating investments into Hydrogen. New liquid LNG ports will be able process H2 as: synthetic LNG, Green Ammonia, with reasonably simple adaptations.
Transport of hydrogen into Germany by sea will likely happen via liquified synthetic LNG or green ammonia at these ports.
H2 will eventually replace NG.

6:23 — “it is not even true that democratic states are more permissive of crime”
Don’t use the word democratic, this is incorrect unless you are comparing a state to dictatorship.
But large Democrat run cities, where most of the population is for Democrat run states, are absolutely more permissive of crime, and this is where people are leaving.
- cities in various California cities have live updated “poop maps”, where people are warned about where they have to walk
- in declining Democrat run cities, needles litter the ground, to be washed down storm sewage systems and into the coastal waters
- in declining Democrat run cities, drug laws are not enforced, but rather people are encouraged to peruse their addictions with Democrat city supplied drug paraphernalia, addicts live homelessly for awhile, and die in the streets (thus how Democrats resolve some of their drug addiction & homeless issues.)
- criminals are declined to be prosecuted, so they are not arrested, they immediately commit more crimes again, and people just become numb to it & eventually leave
If you don’t understand what is happening in the Democrat run cities of the US, you should not talk about it

@mcnally211 - “Chechens… cannon fodder”
Right now, Putin is sending to the front lines other ethnicities with Chechens killing those who retreat, so once again, Chechens are serving a role in killing other less-ethnic Russians.
If Putin can kill off some of those Chechen soldiers in this conflict, that would reduce his risks of having to deal again with them. So yes, cannon fodder for Putin, as well.
It has nothing to do with Chechen performance, but the risk of non-ethnic Russians to Putin’s Russia with Putin’s support base in Moscow & Saint Petersburg.
“Ukraine… marching on Moscow”
Ukraine does not want Moscow. Ukraine wants Muscovite’s to leave.
“Bakhmut”
If it falls, it will be with devastating losses to Russia. At that point, a flattened city will be acquired, known for supplying salt.
Tens of thousands of Non-ethnic Russians dead for salt. Maybe a hundred thousand dead non-ethnic Russians for salt. Putin thinks this is a good trade. Apparently, Putin does not believe the Prisoners, Eastern Asian Conscripts, and Chechens from the Caucuses are even worth their weight in salt.
Yep. Cannon fodder.

@davidford3115 - The Turks exported all of the Armenians around WW1… to dug holes in the desert, to the bottom of wells, to the bottom of the Black Sea. Turks gave promises to the Kurds, to get their help.
Syria, Turkey, Iraq, Lebanon, Iran all have Kurdish populations. They were all against partitioning for the Kurds.
Saddam “poisoned the well” between the Sunni & Kurdish populations. If they played their cards right, Iraq would not basically be. Satellite country of Iran.
Minority Sunni’s, locked out of jobs, are still suicide bombing Majority Shia controlled government facilities.
People made decisions with the fall of the Ottoman Empire, people tried their best, and things are still working through it all.
