Energy of the future? Even a $28.3 million grant from the West Australian Government company was not enough to push the project over the line. Australian green hydrogen project scrapped due to transport costs, pumped hydro on hold Giles Parkinson 26 July 2023: Canadian gas giant Atco says it has scrapped plans for one of the first commercial scale green hydrogen projects in Australia, despite strong funding support from the government’s renewable agency, and has also put a proposed pumped hydro project in NSW on hold. Atco had planned to build a 10MW green hydrogen electrolyser next to Bright Energy’s...

Engineers in Melbourne are vying for pole position in the global race to make a cheap rechargeable battery for storing solar energy that does not rely on scarce natural resources. Their latest experimental ‘proton battery’ could one day be developed to power homes, vehicles and devices – without the end-of-life environmental challenges of lithium-ion batteries. RMIT University has patented the latest developments in this technology internationally. The battery uses a carbon electrode to store hydrogen that has been split from water, and then works as a hydrogen fuel cell to produce electricity. The RMIT team is now embarking on a...

Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) on Friday said he plans to talk to Rep. Derrick Van Orden (R-Wis.) about his expletive-laced confrontation with teenage Senate pages early Thursday morning. “I haven’t been able to speak to him yet. I’ll call him today. I don’t know the situation, I saw what was reported,” McCarthy told reporters Friday. “That’s not the norm of Derrick Van Orden,” McCarthy said. McCarthy said that he had spoken to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) about the incident with the pages, who assist Senate operations. The two congressional leaders had a pre-planned meeting Thursday afternoon to discuss...

President Joe Biden may be visiting Maine on Friday to discuss "how Bidenomics is driving a manufacturing boom and helping workers and innovators invent and make more in America," but he's likely already got his mind on the extended vacation he's set to begin after he's done mumbling his way through remarks in the Pine tree State. According to White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, "this evening, the president will depart Maine en route to Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, where he will remain over the next week." According to Delaware media reports, Biden is expected to be at his beach house...

Rebecca “Becky” Vance had an irrepressible urge, a genuine need to get away. Despite little preparation and with amateur outdoor survival skills, Vance, 42, convinced her sister Christine last summer to “live off the grid” with her and her son in rugged western Colorado, leaving behind their lives in Colorado Springs. Becky — said to be an anxious loner further exasperated by society during the pandemic — wanted to start anew by fleeing into the wilderness, where extreme weather and other potential pitfalls awaited in the Rocky Mountains. But she couldn’t be stopped, her stepsister told The Post.

(Comet Chasers/Faulkes Telescope Project/Las Cumbres Observatory/Reuters/Insider) Astronomers have spotted a "once-in-a-lifetime" comet shaped like the Millennium Falcon – and sky gazers may soon be able to see it for themselves without a telescope. The comet, known as Comet 12P/Pons-Brooks, abruptly brightened 100-fold on July 20 as plumes of debris and ice were blasted off it into space. This gave it a horseshoe shape, which scientists likened to the Millennium Falcon spaceship from "Star Wars." The comet will make its closest approach...

In 2015, James Frank, a Republican state representative from Wichita Falls, and his wife, Alisha, were nearing the empty-nest stage. The youngest of their four boys was fifteen and considering college, but they weren’t quite ready to throw in the towel on child-rearing (they still had “a little more tread on the tires,” Frank would later say). So that year, the couple decided to adopt two brothers, aged nine and eleven, out of Texas’s foster care system. As the boys adjusted to life with their new family, Frank was often called to the elementary school due to the behavior of...

Researchers have developed a device that can disrupt the relationship between the absorption and emission efficiencies of an object, essentially violating Kirchhoff’s law of thermal radiation. This law, in place for over 150 years, states that an object’s ability to absorb and emit energy is equal at each wavelength and angle of incidence. This breakthrough could significantly impact sustainable energy harvesting systems and certain types of camouflage technology. (Artist’s concept.) ********************************************** Scientists have developed a device that can break the principles of Kirchhoff’s law of thermal radiation, disrupting the traditional relationship between absorption and emission efficiencies in an object. This...

China has acted as a backdoor for Russia to conduct business and obtain much-needed technology to continue its invasion in Ukraine, thereby bypassing Western sanctions, according to a new intelligence report. ... The eight-page report from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence on "Support Provided by the People’s Republic of China to Russia" found that Beijing has "become an even more critical economic partner for Russia" since the invasion started. Most notably, the report claims that "Beijing has also significantly increased the use of its currency … and its financial infrastructure in commercial interactions with Russia," which has...

A Texas mom was caught in harrowing video using her 14-year-old daughter as a “human shield” after a high-speed police chase — and even shouting at cops to “shoot” them, according to officials. Houston-area police initially thought theft suspect Tenescha Selena Henry, 35, was holding a crying hostage in a chokehold during the July 20 standoff and were shocked that the girl was actually her daughter. “At that point, I 100% believed that we had a hostage situation,” Deputy A. Peters told KTRK. “I distinctly remember her at times saying, ‘Shoot! Shoot me! Shoot us!'” the deputy said of the...

Data from the United Nations' World Meteorological Organization released on Thursday indicates that July 2023 will go down as the hottest month ever recorded in human history. The U.N. said July has already had the hottest three-week period ever recorded, the three hottest days on record, and the highest-ever sea-surface temperatures for this time of year. U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres said the data makes it clear that human-driven climate change is to blame for the spike.

Congressman Matt Gaetz (R-FL) says he was recently shown evidence of unidentified anomalous phenomena by military personnel that included a UAP image he was “not able to attach to any human capability.” Gaetz revealed details about the incident during a widely viewed Congressional hearing on unidentified anomalous phenomena Wednesday morning. [...] Gaetz was reportedly shown the image several months ago during a visit to Eglin Air Force Base, Florida, where he was accompanied by Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) and Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL). [...] During the hearing, Gaetz said his office received a protected disclosure of a UAP off...

The Biden Regime played a “vital” role in the attack on the Kerch Bridge to Crimea which killed a couple and injured their child, investigative reported Seymour Hersh revealed.

A Covid variant seen in Indonesia might be the most mutated version of the virus ever recorded, scientists think. The morphed version of Delta — collected from a patient swab in Jakarta — has 113 unique mutations. Thirty-seven of the alterations affect the spike protein, which the coronavirus uses to latch onto humans.

We have this never-ending debate in America and especially in Washington DC about what works – left or right, liberalism or conservatism, capitalism or socialism. Well, there’s no need to debate anymore. The answer is in. We won! Yes, the debate is over. The stats are in from a hundred directions. “The Great American Divorce” I’ve predicted for almost 20 years is happening. And the more Democrats talk, the more Americans choose to run for their lives. Almost everyone is leaving with daddy! Because mommy is a vicious, overbearing, liberal, Democrat control freak. Americans are voting with their feet. And...
