Immediate green coal flashbacks.

At least this sounds like something that could actually work.

This has nothing to do with hydrogen production. It’s an electric furnace for smelting iron in to steel.

Its a start 👍

Electric forges are theoretically possible at the size and scale needed, but the energy to use them is not cost effective, sadly.

Hydrogen... Maybe - but like most eco solutions, they're not as energy dense, or as cheap as existing fossil solutions.

Oh.. so we invest less than 1/20 of the CEO od Lucid Motors salary? Level of effort is pretty low.

i think zoolander is becoming the next patrick bateman/gigachad, which is honestly deserved tbh

Second zoolander reference I see in 10 minutes. What did I miss in the public zeitgeist?

The problem is meltig steel even if its recycled needs very high temperature. And these temperatures are mostly generated by coal as far as I know.

Like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife.......

Sure. I'm just pointing out it isn't a matter of perspective as to whether the children front any of the bill of not.

Is this actually something feasible or another catastrophe like clean coal?

That’s what I said

Sort of, but the lender can't take anything from the children. Like they can take the parents estate, but if the children has the money to pay the debt they are not legally obligated to.

Ph.Ds are often funded at least, so maybe not!

Depends how you look at it. If they’re beneficiaries of an estate that was wiped out by loans then yeah they kind of picked up the tab

She'll be allowed to die, and her estate will settle whatever debts she has.

Descendants never pick up private loans either.

Are you interested in Kim Philby and John le Carré’s secrets, Dead Lions, the excellent TV series SAS Rogue Heroes and even Ungentlemanly Warfare in which Henry Cavill is to star? Well, there existed a less renowned but SAS related clique of maverick and patriotic British scoundrels in British Intelligence called Pemberton’s People who worked for Colonel Alan Brooke Pemberton CVO MBE.

During the Malayan Emergency (really a war) British Intelligence and covert units such as the Special Air Service worked closely together under the eagle eyes of Field Marshal Sir Gerald Walter Robert Templer and his ADC Alan Pemberton. In 1952 in Malaya they oversaw the establishment of 22 SAS Regiment. Since then its home has been in Hereford, England. Malaya proved to be an exquisite training ground for all involved in the dark arts of modern warfare.

Even the notorious spy Philby (who was a cousin of Field Marshal Montgomery) tried to get in on the act to support the communist backed insurgents and later some of Pemberton’s People starred in the real Clockwork Orange Plot as to be depicted in Samuel Martin’s The Ghost of Harold Wilson.
