Comment Re:Once they make the effort to get H2 by itself (Score 1) 76

The turbines are a sunk cost and so there's value in conversion than turning them to scrap and building fuel cells.

There are no sunk costs around the turbines. The existing turbines will be replaced. From TFS:

In their place, the DWP will install new combined-cycle turbines that are expected to operate on a mixture of natural gas and at least 30% hydrogen with the ultimate goal of running entirely on hydrogen as more supply becomes available.

They're reusing the land and part of the existing structure on it. Almost everything else is getting replaced.

Modern combined-cycle gas turbines are much more efficient than that. Most new installations now get around 60% efficiency if not better, and the current record is 64.18%, set by a Siemens turbine at Keadby Unit 2 Power Station in the UK. The end result won't be 68%, but it also won't be 34%. Given the losses associated with electrolysis, the net is likely to be around 50%, which still makes it a bad idea.

Iâ(TM)ve never had a vacuum that lasts for such a short period of time. My current one (a Dyson) has been going 14 years and no reason to believe it will die anyone soon. I got rid of the 12 year old Hoover I had before only because I moved country and it wouldnâ(TM)t work with 220V. What is your wife doing to break so many vacuums, or are they just cheap crap that fails frequently? Youâ(TM)ve spent way more on vacuums than I have.

Self-signed certs won't do any good if the old NAS, etc. doesn't have a means of importing a certificate, does not support TLS 3, etc. Google's forced "security" treadmill is not that different from Microsoft's TPM 2 dependency for Windows 11: Both do little more than annoy users and generate e-waste.
