You can almost make the case that overhead electrification is too expensive to implement in some places. I'm not totally sold on that math, but I keep hearing there are niche cases for hydrogen.

It could also be a last resort place, all other areas are way more polluted.. so they choose to die slowly than fast by swimming in the bronx river.

Depends on how it’s produced: https://proton.energy

Or these dolphins are cigarette smoking, foul mouthed gang members.

Now let people there pump their own gas. I don't want some clerk attendant asking dumb questions every time I need gas there.

Yeah this is my thought as well. The ocean has just become dirty enough that it there isn't a difference to them

I think they migrate from the suburbs of new jersey via a ferry.

My first thought, too. Smart animals can still make bad choices.

Thanks for the interesting read. I suspect it's the effect of nascent technologies, like transistors being more expensive than vacuum tubes at first, and printing presses being more expensive than quills and inkwells.
Further reading from the EPA about the methods of production and the emissions data for motor-vehicle use. EPA says about 95% is produced by reclamation from natural gas, so if it was 99.9% before it's growing exponentially, which is what we can hope for as non-grid production technologies are developed. Last point is that the ArsTechnica article only discusses one type of hydrogen fuel augmentation being used in one (massive) sector. The uplifting news is that in the foreseeable future, only antiques will use vacuum tubes fossil fuels.

Poor Queenie. So many pups, she ran out of ink. I help take care of mommies when they have pups at Guide Dogs for the Blind and I really feel for Queenie. Glad it's not 18 years for dogs!

Native mason bee, Osmia lignaria? Reads article, nope. Mason bees don't care about a little rain, non-native honey bees do not fly in the rain. Mason bees also are out pollinating months before other bees.

Great that the water is cleaner. Terrible that it is warm enough for dolphins in January.

Can anyone ID the bee top-right? It looks worryingly like an invasive European honey bee
EDIT: followed the article links and it is indeed a non-native honey bee. Good job guys

>The Dornier 228 is a twin-turboprop STOL utility aircraft, designed and first manufactured by Dornier GmbH (later DASA Dornier, Fairchild-Dornier) from 1981 until 1998. Two hundred and forty-five were built in Oberpfaffenhofen, Germany. In 1983, Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) bought a production licence and manufactured another 125 aircraft in Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, India. In July 2017, 63 aircraft were still in airline service.

>ZeroAvia's 19-seat plane, called the Dornier 228​
The Dornier 228 is already a plane, they took a stock one and changed the left wing engine to hydrogen-electric, according to ZeroAvia's press release. There's a video of the flight on their Youtube channel, as well as a bunch of other videos about their work and the industry.
