...Amory Lovins special hydrogen HYPERcars in showrooms "by 2004" in between, and then "by 2020."

Now we have "by 2040."

Am I supposed to be impressed?

Here we are in 2026, with the concentration of the dangerous fossil fuel waste carbon dioxide having reached 430 ppm again.

Week beginning on February 22, 2026: 430.17 ppm
Weekly value from 1 year ago: 427.13 ppm
Weekly value from 10 years ago: 404.33 ppm

I'm not sure I'll live long enough to get into the nirvana of "by 2040."

It is, of course, bullshit fossil fuel marketing since it works to sell the bullshit sequestration lie. They have no fucking idea of where to put billions of tons of CO₂ generated in the EU each year, no idea whatsoever.

The person who used to come here to rebrand fossil fuels as "hydrogen" is not particularly different than people who greenwash fossil fuels with claims about sequestration.

In 2023, the antinukes in Germany dumped close to 600 million tons of CO₂ into the planetary atmosphere, this while shutting industrial plants because of high electricity prices.

Global Carbon Project Carbon Budget.

I'm sure they'll find lots of places in Germany to dump that each year.
