UK gov. still foolishly seems to think hydrogen is a good idea.

The Left have been trying to use hydrogen ever since the National Socialists and will still fail just like they did.
They even use the same propaganda:
Once Great Britain (and allies) once bravely fought the National Socialists, now they have adopted their energy policies, and economic policies such as tight control and direction of industry by the state.

Speaking of national socialists. It is but a few days over 100 years since Mein Kampf was published.
Like so many (in)famous books – quite a few have tried to read it, few have actually read it, and even fewer think it was time well spent.
My high school library had a copy (English translation). It didn’t make any sense to me then (and I didn’t finish it), and revisiting it many years later left me with the same feeling.
I think he was more successful at dictating than writing….

Exactly my opinion. Mein Kampf should be on the mandatory reading list in every school, especially in ethnically- and religiously-based ones.
But of course with help of educators who themselves understood where mob mentality leads to.

Hydrogen has not been used for transport since the Hindenberg. It still remains the best argument against this folly.

I prefer Hydrogen bonded with Carbon: Hydrocarbons. Straight chains, ring chains, any chains at all. A side benefit when they combust with air is the formation of plant food!

Yes Stanley,
And here is the ideal use for hydrogen.
Conversion of coal to liquid fuel. That requires a lot of hydrogen to reduce coal to smaller hydrocarbons,

And? The 97% climate consensus, so often quoted, was written by a guy with a qualification in philosophy and a degree in physics. Hardly qualifies as a climate scientist. The 99% consensus, now quoted by many websites and a particular contributor here, was written by a journalist and activist. No qualifications at all other than an ability to string words together that satisfy his massive left wing bias. Yet he gets published and is given credibility. As with all these people, left wing. As lamented in a recent article in the Times, by a left leaning scientist by the way, “Where are the right wing scientists?” There aren’t any ‘cos they get hounded out by the left wing. As for so called “climate scientist”, there is no such thing. This is a relatively new idea, dreamt up by the climate crazies, to back up their left wing lunacy. A proper “climate scientist” would need to be qualified in atmospheric chemistry, atmospheric physics, environmental science, meteorology, geophysics, earth sciences/geology, oceanography, solar physics, statistics, the list goes on and on. So a real climate scientist would need several life times of study to be truly qualified. You only have to look at the complete boll*cks of Mann’s hockey stick, which is what you get when you let a bunch of arrogant crazies loose with inadequate skills and no mathematician or statistician to check their piss poor figures. Now, Mr troglodyte, go back to your cave and troglodyte mates. We have all evolved, unlike your mob who still want to sacrifice innocents to the climate gods.

Don’tcha love politics and the lovely way politicians can steal your money and make you grateful for them doing it.
I did not know that outstanding student depts, HEC’s depts, actually were indexed to increase every year by 3.2%. So apparently if a loan is not repaid it simply keeps increasing in value. Albo of course has announced that his government will reduce all student loans dept by 20%, doesn’t that make students feel good and want to vote labour? I wonder how many people fully understand that this is just sleight of hand, the dept is there, increasing by 3.2% year on year until the recipient reaches an earning threshold to trigger repayments but the actual “loan value” may not have decreased at all.
It really is the magic money go round!
200
The concept of a student loan is an investment in one’s education toward a higher paying career. The student is expected to earn more and pay off the loan with those extra earnings.
If people want to study worthless humanities subjects like gender studies or critical race theory or communism etc. with no hope of employment beyond flipping burgers, then that’s their choice. Why should our taxes pay for such self-indulgence?

Trump calls out $3.1 billion extravagant taxpayer-funded renovations at the Federal Reserve building. SEE linked video.
Note that there are private and public aspects of the US Federal Reserve (it’s a strange organisation) but it was the US taxpayer paying for the renovations.
Wouldn’t be wonderful if Australia had a politician in power that actually cared about waste of hard-earned taxpayer money?
When did you last hear even the fake conservative Liberals complain about that?
220
I find this to be an odd story. Renovating buildings constructed years ago with installed older technology and with significant underground space – and asbestos – is a project for professional renovators. I’ve been in much smaller buildings (with asbestos) that were in the process of being renovated. Jerome Powell has a BA in political science and a law degree. I wouldn’t consult him if I was building a covered deck. DJT’s expertise is as a developer – he knows the issues. So, for me, the current kerfuffle is just theater.
130
That’s odd, all the Syd Moaning Herald talks about is-
“Federal Reserve chief schools Trump in excruciating live fact-check” ““Numbskull” or not, central bank boss Jerome Powell has become the latest high-profile figure to fact-check Donald Trump in real time.”
“What started as a $US1.9 billion ($2.9 billion) project in 2023 has blown out to about $US2.5 billion – although, in percentage terms, that’s nowhere near as bad as our very own beleaguered North Sydney Olympic Pool….Turns out the figure “just came out” of Trump’s jacket pocket, …“Oh, you’re including the Martin renovation,” Powell said, referring to the refurbishment of another building, which was completed in 2021. “You just added in a third building,..”
So according to Powell, Trump got his inflated building costs by adding in a third building that has been completed.

I have heard Leftists on ABC (Australia, government propaganda organisation) radio several times recently speculate on the possibility of wind turbines attached to suburban homes.
It’s absurd, of course, but so is the whole ruinables scam.
The size required would be infeasibly large, towers would have to be very tall to get into clean air out of the boundary layer and the noise and the eyesore plus interference between windmills would be huge.
This is the sort of insanity you get with a completely dumbed-down “education” system.
I think it was Tonyb that mentioned here a week or so ago that similar proposals have been made in Once Great Britain.
170
Talking about inspired stupidity. In an ABC News broadcast, within the last few days, mentioned an 50% upcoming price increase in the coast of water in Tasmania. The Taswater bright spark being interviewed said that residents could decrease the amount of water to alleviate the impost. In Tasmania it is the delivery and removal of waste services that form 90% of water bills. Cost for the water consumed is miniscule.
130
This idea was (briefly) proposed in the UK some years ago. Some one asked about a minimal wind turbine attached to the main support for the roof and was told a strong wind would collapse the house.

Seems to be happening quite frequently this winter for Australia’s ski resorts:
A week of snowfall (7 days in a row) for NSW, Victoria and Tasmania’s ski fields, as storm after storm continuously tops up the snow base, accompanied by below-freezing temperatures [look up BoM’s Alpine forecast page, 7 snowflake symbols in a row].
All this cold, wintry weather – perfect for mountain sports enthusiasts – despite decades of warnings it would all be history by now, burned to a cinder, melted like summer ice-cream, the End of Skiing… and yet it still lives!

The skiing is good but the real reason not to ski in Australia is the cost, just as with all internal tourism.
It’s often or usually cheaper to go on an overseas holiday than a local one. Skiers may find it cheaper to go to NZ, Japan or the USA for skiing or any other type of holiday. And also Asia for non-skiing holidays.

An article in the SMH outlines how a top immunology scientist in Aussie faked results as he went from University to University, until finally disappearing.
It covers Prof Mark Smyth, and is a great example of how Covid was completely mis-handled by those in power. “I rely on the experts around me” should be a hanging excuse from any politician. Its certainly a great example of how people can be fooled by 97% of scientists!
Experimental results faked or not done at all, papers retracted or corrected, yet he was a darling in the scientific community.
““It was like a priest in a parish: everyone knew this guy was fabricating data, he was a bully to his staff, and he went to Queensland. He was bringing in lots of money. People would just close their eyes to it,” said a senior executive in the sector,”
It also shows where $42million can vanish to, although I expect his financial fraud in this is minor compared to many.
“In 2025, based on papers cited, Research.com still ranked him as Australia’s eighth-best scientist and our best immunologist.”

Blow to mRNA ‘Vaccine’ Safety Narrative — Creating Conditions for Deadly Cancers to Thrive
A groundbreaking new study has just confirmed oncologists’ worst fears by finding that Covid mRNA “vaccines” break down the body’s natural defenses, creating conditions that allow deadly cancers and other chronic diseases to thrive.
The researchers uncovered alarming evidence that mRNA injections trigger profound and long-lasting genetic dysfunction.
This genetic damage is contributing to new-onset adverse events, including various cancers, in individuals who received the shots.
The study was conducted by a team of scientists from Neo7Bioscience, the University of North Texas, the McCullough Foundation, and Medicinal Genomics.

“New Record Set For Deaths From Climate And Weather Disasters”
“During the first half of 2025, a new record was set for the number of deaths caused by climate and weather disasters. Can you guess what that record was?
If you read left-wing media sources, and believe anything they say, you might think that the recent record has something to do with a large and growing number of deaths. Recent articles in sources like CNN, MSNBC, the New York Times, and CBS News all explicitly claim that climate change is making weather events “deadlier,” or leading to increasing numbers of deaths, or some variation of that same message. I’m sure if you checked thirty such “mainstream” news sources over the past year, all thirty of them would have pieces parroting that same narrative.
Therefore you might be surprised by the actual record that has been set: The first half of 2025 (January to June) has seen the fewest number of deaths from climate and weather disasters of any first half year this century.”

Paul Sperry: “Dam Is Starting To Break On The Bad Guys Who Did This To The Country”
PAUL SPERRY, REAL CLEAR INVESTIGATIONS: Well, the meeting was actually at ODNI in Tyson’s, but they did brief the president, or at least his chief of staff, they briefed the White House about what they were doing. But this is something that I was told by Tulsi Gabbard’s office that has been in the works a long time. And she actually has a team that she’s assembled that’s using AI programs to go through unclassified, classified networks of all the 18 intelligence agencies that she oversees.
She has authority. People don’t understand that she has authority over all of the intelligence agencies and can go through there and declassify unilaterally all of their emails, chat room discussions, all sorts of messaging and their documents. So this is a huge project.
And she’s got to set up an entire team to do this. And they’re actually using artificial intelligence to help aggregate and collect all this stuff that.
VINCE COGLIANESE: So that that gives us some perspective on why this is different than when John Ratcliffe was the head of national intelligence.
PAUL SPERRY: Yeah, that could could be why we’re seeing some results here. Finally, the all this stuff has been bottled up, you know, by the past eight years, not just by the media, but of course, administrations and the dam is starting to break. Tables are finally starting to turn on the bad guys who conspired to do this to kneecap Trump and frame him and try to cripple his presidency and his agenda.
VINCE COGLIANESE: Yes, so the left is claiming that what Tulsi Gabbard has released is is old news. There’s nothing to see here. It doesn’t implicate Obama or John Brennan in anything at all.
How do you view it?
PAUL SPERRY: Well, not at all. They’re ignoring the key piece that’s two things, actually three things. What one we found out that the they put the dossier in the main body of the intelligence community assessment that Obama ordered after Trump’s surprise victory over Hillary.
And so they came up with this intelligence, cooked it up and laundered Hillary’s political dirt in the form of this dossier and incorporated it into the actual analysis in the main body of the text of the classified version of the ICA.
They didn’t even disclose that they had included an annex, a summary of the dossier that came out in 2020. But now we knew that.

No, truly. I was just reading Heinlein from the fifties and he had such great hopes for the thing. Which was a triumph of hope over experience. The UN is a vestigial organ left over from when people earnestly believed that humanity would converge towards a one-world government. Because most humans are blind to the massive differences in other cultures. Anyway, I’m told they have some functions we need, like international aviation standards. You know what? I suspect those are adhered to kind-of in most countries, but never mind. Cut those loose as their own organizations. Let countries do peace treaties or not among themselves. Keep the things that are important to us safe. Disband the UN. Fumigate the building. Let the UN representatives and “peace keepers” find their perverse sex on their own time. The end.”

“One of the key characteristics of a university state of mind is its slavish devotion to everything and everyone alien, foreign, immigrant or exotic. But this devotion is not out of genuine love of any specific otherness, even in its fanatical respect and admiration for the Palestinian ‘cause’ and the Muslim religion. Nor is it in white university-educated support for black supremacism really about genuinely admiring people of darker skin tones. Rather, it seeks out for particular championing whoever and whatever is least like the West, least likely to be of benefit to the West, and most likely to harm and endanger other Western people, particularly the white working class.”

The Ch7 news tonight featured a report that University of South Australia had discovered that raising vitamin D levels would decrease the severity of illness if you catch Covid19. Apparently this was Seven catching up with a story that had been published last week by UniSA.
Us skeptical readers of Jo’s site were way ahead on this one. Jo was telling us about a study from Indonesia that found this link in May 2020.
I’m sure first heard about the Vit D link way back in 2020 from an engineer in India who figured out why the coastal states of India had much lower death rates from covid than the landlocked states. The coastal states ate much more seafood which was a source of high dietary Vit D. Probably it was featured on John Campbell’s YT channel. I can’t find the bloke who reported this, but there is a study from India about the link.
There’s probably a good argument here against the centralisation of medicine, the interference of the AMA in the doctor-patient relationship, and the laziness of many GPs simply sitting down and waiting to be told what to do by the government. For all the misinformation out there on the Internet it is nice to know it can still be a source of valuable info if supported by evidence and reason.

Remember the picture of over-weight middle-aged American men sweating in a factory to make clothes to compete with the Chinese…? When East meets West..
TSMC posted a $440 million loss at its Arizona factory. American engineers called it “rigid, brutal, prison-like.” Taiwanese managers complained about “lack of dedication and obedience.”
TSMC’s CEO Morris Chang saw this coming. “A very expensive exercise in futility,” he called America’s chip push.
Taiwan doesn’t just make chips. It breathes them. Three decades of alignment created something money can’t buy.
In Arizona, Americans clock out after shifts. In Taiwan, engineers sleep in the fab.
In Arizona, decisions need consensus. In Taiwan, orders flow down.
In Arizona, it’s a job. In Taiwan, it’s national service.
