Game-changer for clean hydrogen production:
Does that mean we can adapt our current infrastructure to accommodate hydrogen?

Melbourne copy cat riots:
Way to miss the point; for instance, asking why they'd rather face that abstract threat over your abstract threat, seems more productive than just condemning their choice. You can lead a horse to water...

What taxes a billionaire?
I think the pendulum swing's according to the demographics of society. For instance, the older we get the more Conservative we tend to become (IMHO amonst others). At some point that imbalance will inevitably correct itself, and the swing is reversed. A billionaire is no different, they milk the magic dragon until it has no choice but to bite. It's not too big, it's fundamental.

The UK as an American State or States
No, it depends on what you ask???

"Take the moral responsibility out of my hand's" - Jimmy Car/Jeff Bezos, while true, is a childish response to why not; how often do our children embarrass us with the simple question "why?"... Why does this political pendulum travel in this direction?

Did the American education system did such a poor job at promoting STEM that "Millennials" were less interested in becoming astronauts?
Why is science more interesting???

Indeed, we have to think critically about everything...

What taxes a billionaire?
I'm not sure it can be, we've lost the ultimate sanction, god/karma etc. There's no boogeyman to intervene/explain/blame, so we're left with a moral compass that point's to the most convenient excuse to stop thinking about it. Billionaire's are bad, mkay. All I do know is, if we all don't try we'll never find out; sometimes it's important to preach, pass it on... The parable of the madman - Nietzsche

Who benefits if Hydrogen technology becomes super successfull ? (Spin off from beecee's hydrogen thread)
Indeed +1 Hydrogen may not be the perfect solution, but it is a solution; we can generate far more hydrogen, however inefficiently, than we can lithium.

The irony is, they did it legally. Society/people both blame's the poor and feeds off them, billionaire's are people too; if we want them to change, we all have to change. When gambling was illegal, no-one was forced to say "gamble responsibly" and society didn't have to pay for a clinic.

In England we did it by accident, brexit has caused the balance of power to swing in favour of the worker's; if you're a HGV driver you can, almost, write your own ticket and with a dearth of EU worker's to bring in the crops, and save lives via the NHS. The wealthy may even learn the value of money, and eventually the reason for taxes; hopefully enough of them to make a difference. 🤞 Building wall's has it's consequences, we could all learn from that... That's why we need a God/Karma; to put the fear of god/karma, into the idiot's the don't understand why it's better to be nice to the people that help you too live. In an ironic way, being illegal can be profitable... 😇

Why is there a growing movement to deny reality in America?
The internet is full of information, the batshit crazy just want to be right...

Your teacher/village taught you what to boo at... Indeed, a steady decline in critical thinking; would produce a faith in bullshit...

What taxes a billionaire?
My apologies to everyone, had a visit from a friend with a bottle of JD. 🤒 But I'm not implying ethical failings in anyone; we all at some point have thrown the first stone. The Diderot effect suggests we're all capable of behaving like a billionaire, I'm just exploring a method of eliminating excuses. Most tax-payer's don't see the point of charity, unless there's a reasonable excuse/sob-story; being a lazy mouse is no excuse, but it is a reason...
