A missing bee could have polinated, what can only be the tortilla on the right side, if shredded meat exists on this plate. Surely, a bee could… nvm that rotten lump could not have been saved.

Having followers is a path to monetizing new lies against them in the future… best I’ve got.

The only safe supply ports would be in Pakistan or (much further away) India. It’s likely Pakistan doesn’t want to be seen helping US fleet. India has been receiving Iranian oil during conflict, and would like to keep it that way in addition to it being a long resupply route.

serving aboard the USS Tripoli, USA Today reported. The image showed a lunch tray that was largely empty with only a small portion of shredded meat and a folded tortilla.

USS Tripoli was one of the last ships to leave for theater. While OP image is not the meal described, I was very worried about which side could the tortilla.

Would normally be prelude to broader deal, but Iran has a history of being gullible on promises made to it.

Are you confusing Diamond mining? Rare earth mining is highly industrialized. Fun fact, Chinese synthetic diamonds are putting children/blood traders out of work.

Making Ammonia from these systems is over 100x cheaper than H2 electrolysis even though they include an H2 electrolysis inside. 100x difference alone in onsite storage needs. A trailer with high pressure tube tanks is 20x more expensive than liquid ammonia/propane trailer, and it holds 5x less H2 even at 700 bar. transporting the 700 bar (instead of 350 which is still the same trailer cost/kg of H2) is needed to move enough energy at a time.

So direct H2 systems simply need a pipeline dump. 50bar H2 pipelines are much cheaper than 200bar, including the compressors to power them. With pure H2, purification and compression requirements make it more capital intensive than Ammonia production.

As a result, all the benefit of wind and solar goes to the people owning the generation capacity, rather than retail utility customers.

The perversion still in a way encourages more renewables if “generation capacity” is what keeps the profit. However, the actual profit I believe is kept by the utility. ie. all retail customers pay that (maximum) clearance price, while utility pays actual individual supply bids.

US “nominal” president was out to watch a UFC match. If real boss is going to micromanage how to avoid peace, then UFC promotion is as productive as minion can be.

F’n tard doesn’t know shit about theology. Bros, couch fuckers for life, bros! Jesus, as worthless pussy, could think about offering a pittance, in US budget terms, to Iran for their enriched Uranium, but couch fucking warriors of God need to wreck US economy to couch fuck!!! Hell ya!

Nebraska was chosen primarily because it has a great mix of wind and solar potential where solar alone is more profitable than corn for ethanol by 6x.

For Phoenix area, outside by 50km to get nearly free land, H2 production is still viable if in a closed loop with 2nd datacenter. IRR even higher (no wind). figures scaled to reflect actual saturation of H2 pipelines, but include a water return line in same trench.

**Infrastructure Report: The

Phoenix “Solar-H₂ Maximum Efficiency” Corridor

**

Model: 260 MW Utility-Scale Solar + Triple-4" H₂ Pipeline + 100% Water Neutrality
Location: Arizona Desert (50 km Perimeter of Phoenix) | Land Strategy: Desert Lease ($10/acre)

This report optimizes the subterranean energy bank for the Southwest, utilizing the desert’s superior year-round solar yield and a high-efficiency water-recycling loop. By moving into low-cost desert land ($10/acre), the project maximizes its “Infinite Money Loop” potential, providing “firm” 24/7 power to an 180 MW industrial cluster.

1. Infrastructure Specifications (180 MW Balanced Load)

The system is designed for 90 MW of local baseload and 90 MW of remote baseload (50 km away). The 50 km trench is fully saturated, utilizing all three 4" hydrogen lines to their physical 30 MW transfer limits.

• Land Lease (Desert/BLM Rate): 4,095 acres at $10/acre/year = $40,950/year OpEx.
• Water Loop Efficiency: The 4" HDPE water line returns every drop of fuel cell byproduct (~700 million litres/year) back to the 360 MW electrolyzer field, ensuring 100% water neutrality in the desert.

2. Revenue & Storage Assumptions

• Local Load (90 MW): 788.4M kWh/yr @ $0.10/kWh = $78,840,000/yr.
• Remote Load (90 MW): 39.42M kg H₂/yr @ $3.68/kg (20¢/kWh DC equiv) = $145,065,600/yr.
• Total Annual Revenue: $223,905,600.
• Pipeline Storage Value: Valued at $10/kWh of extractable electricity; the 150 km of pressurized H₂ pipeline provides $1,644,150 in embedded energy collateral.

3. The IRR Analysis: The “Infinite Loop” Confirmed

Baseline Performance (Unsubsidized)

• Total Annual Revenue: $223,905,600.
• Annual OpEx (Lease + 3% O&M): $32,646,450 (Significant reduction due to $10/acre lease).
• Net Annual Cashflow: $191,259,150.
• Unsubsidized IRR: ~17.2%.

The IRA “Federal Turbo” (Stacked Credits)

• 45V Hydrogen PTC ($3.00/kg): On 39.42M kg/yr exported. Adds $118,260,000/yr tax-free cash.
  • IRR Increase: +10.1%
• 48E ITC (50% Refund): Returns $533,700,000 in Year 1.
  • IRR Increase: +15.3%
• Total Stacked IRR: ~42.6%.

4. Financing: The 0-Down “Free Money” Reality

The massive 42.6% IRR relative to a 5.0% cost of debt creates a self-liquidating asset class safer than US Treasuries.

• Year 1 Liquidity: Between the $533.7M ITC refund and $309M total cashflow, the project recovers 77% of total capital in the first 12 months.
• 75% Cashflow Sweep: Senior debt is retired in ~1.7 years, allowing for interest rates lower than the 10-year Treasury yield (~3.5–4.0%) for subsequent expansions.

5. Highlights: The Infinite Renewables Benefit

• Climate Arbitrage: You have leased land that is nearly valueless for farming ($10/acre) and transformed it into a $1B energy vault. Solar panels are immune to the desert’s water scarcity.
• Trench “Energy Gold”: Every kilometer of the trench is an asset worth $32,883 in ready-to-use hydrogen fuel storage.
• Time-to-Market: You deliver 180 MW of firm DC power today. The regional utility takes 8+ years for a 100MW+ grid connection.
• Water Closed-Loop: The 50 km water line ensures the desert site is a zero-net-consumer, which is the ultimate regulatory defense for Arizona infrastructure.

Summary: At the $10/acre desert lease point, your “Subterranean Energy Bank” is the most capital-efficient infrastructure project in the Western U.S. It prints ~$300M in annual cash on a ~$1B asset, secured by physical molecules and AI-demand contracts.

simpler version, importing more renewables is more job creation than deploying less total renewables to protect Russian uranium imports or US oil/LNG imports. National security can be addressed without bans.

Electronics can have some component of manual, relatively low skilled, assembly, but most of it is highly automated. If you desperately need a lot of domestic low skill jobs, then stop importing shoes and apparel.

First, doing uncompetitive things in general lowers national welfare. Specifically in productivity enhancing sectors such as energy, it further means competitive disadvantage. Importing cheaper renewable components creates a lot of domestic deployment work, including the scaffolding and installation.

As a national security measure, the US colony middle powers should join together on firmware development/verification, and favour open source firmware. US inverters for retail market are surprisingly expensive while still made in Asia, and would be suspect of having extra circuitry in them. Modular hardware that allows to plug in separate remote control/networking/bluetooth modules with open firmware.

Just saying “China bad” is a traitorous loser move. Renewables are energy security because of no fuel (subscription) reliance. Allowing US gas/combustion turbines is a bigger security risk from closed source CIA champion firmware. Enriched uranium and centrifuges is dominated by Russian tech. Tolerating US permission for oil access is biggest loser move ever.

Treating global warming as something that must be dominated by US Empire colonies economically is ensuring maximum global warming, because US empire was always going to force extortionist dead ender energy climate terrorism on its slaves.

We could have a referendum on how important it is to taxpayers to protect Trump from missiles. Maybe a simultaneous one for shooting one at him.

frustrating finding out if this is useful or not. 179kj/kg is about 50wh, bad. Thermoelectric being at 8% tops efficiency also means you get out about 4wh per kg, and so terrible storage.

0.65v guessing from other thermoelectric data sheets would be 0.65w/sq.inch, but that is close to 1100w/sq. meter. At about 30C hot-cold difference. But it will take a long time to heat up if it takes a long time to cool. Still that seems good power per area. 1000w/sq.meter is solar input, so that peak power would be after a good 8 hours of sun input

To be useful they need to make specific claims about power/sq.meter, and power per full day. I’m just guessing from above, but this could be about 1kg per sq.inch, and 1.6tons per square meter.

The same power/day could be generated from a sheet of black metal, which would be much cheaper. A dark metal tank of water would serve the same battery feature, or parabolic mirror onto a water pipe, feeding into a water tank.

thermoelectric devices per square meter are much more expensive than PV solar
