You mean one of the things the Biden admin bragged about?

yeah.

Good thing the incoming administration isn’t petty enough to nuke anything associated with the previous administration…

that would be unfortunate.

Remember when the US government gave the telecoms billions to build gigabit internet infrastructure nationwide and they fuckin just didn’t do it?

me too, i also remember in 1930, when the great depression happened. I don't see the relevance here though.

shit in r&d is not like throwing money at big corpo and hoping they do what you want. If you don't turn out results in r&d, it's a dead field.

plenty of project announcements, idk if you think the government can't like, build buildings or something, even though they can make the interstate highway system. But in defense of the CHIPS, building fabs is really fucking hard, costs billions of dollars, and takes many, many years.

so basically the entire reason you voted for trump is schizophrenic economics. When you could've voted for kamala harris, who has actual real tangible economic policy.

They should’ve at least looked into Trumps claims even if they were fabricated.

to be clear, trump has made 10x the amount of public claims, privately, every single one was either incredibly illegal. Or fucking wrong. Not a single one was correct.

and he can afford the best doctors.

"and he can afford the best doctors."

seems like they didnt to me.

It’s not enough to wine that the voters are too stupid,

this is ultimately the problem though. The voter base is fucking retarded, and it's fuelled by a massive propaganda machine. There is literally nothing we can do here.

obviously not, and that's mostly going to be military contracts more than anything. Regardless, this doesn't change the economics here, if you can buy it from the hydrogen empire cheaper, and your business isn't the US military, then it doesnt fucking matter. Just buy it from them.

you think i was saying they would manufacture hydrogen from natural gas?

ok.

oil and resource industries are pretty well known for being energy intensive no?

last i checked industry is the primary energy consumer. Sure there's less people in alaska, but it was just an example i picked, and the market economics would still be applicable there. If it's cheaper to buy hydrogen, than it is to produce locally sourced power, that's going to be what happens.

yeah thats pretty much the TL;DR here. It's complicated since oil is complicated and there isn't really a "insert oil" oil to talk about, there are a lot of variations of it, and a lot of ways to refine it, and a lot of different resultant products from it as well.

The fact that the modern petro industry even works is kind of insane.
