Hmmm. I'm not an enviro, by any means, but just reading that scares the bejeebers out of me, lol. "Hydrogen" always sounds like "bomb" to me.
However, I'm intrigued by the "sludge-like" fluid that can be refined into synfuels. I've just never paid any attention to any of this because so little of it seems viable or even feasible. It will be interesting to watch this progress. Thanks for the info.
Very cool. 10MW is tiny but we're not building it for DFW. Looks like the same design that South Africa wants to build to avoid more of the rolling blackouts they endured a few months ago.
