My driveway could use a little more water vapor today to melt that “Global Warming” that is compact and icy.

That runway is huge! Alternate landing spot for the space shuttle back in the day and training area for 747 and C-17 pilots (airlines and Air Force).

The last time I was through there was when there were hundreds of 737’s parked out there after they were grounded.

It was quite the experience for me doing touch and goes in my Piper Tri-Pacer on 32L while Air Nippon 747s were doing same on 32R. Once in a lifetime experience.

There is some naturally occurring hydrogen. This company drills for and extracts helium and hydrogen. They do need to separate them other gasses and that does require energy.

Naturally occuring Hydrogen is often converted to Ammonia for storage purposes.

No, but they certainly would have if I had been inline behind them. I think ATC probably would not set us up that way it there had been a crosswind from the N.

Airport had an active tower back when the 747s were using the field.

There’s about enough naturally occurring hydrogen on Earth to power the world’s bic lighters. It’s too bad we can’t import it from Jupiter or Saturn.

“I think ATC probably would not set us up that way it there had been a crosswind from the N.”

As long as you have smart, merit hires at ATC, not wokesters and DEI hires. Which are coming. The commercial aviation incidents the past few months are very alarming.

Again, some hydrogen. The target in this case is helium and the noble gases. (If noble gases are found in sufficient concentration.) Natural gas and hydrogen are recoverable by products, and no, you could not run the electric grid on the amounts of the recovered by- products.

I think that the company, in addition to finding Helium for uses like Magnetic imaging and baloons, is hoping to find a naturally occuring source of Helium 3, which theoretically might be used along with Deuterium for fusion power generation. $ince At this point Physicists do not have a functioning Fusion reactor they rely on a fuel consisting of government grant$.

using nuclear power

The new ice age uhh ... global warming uhh ...climate change crowd don't believe their own propaganda. If they did, they'd be the biggest proponents of nuclear power. They aren't. That's how we know they're full of barnyard stuff.
