Scientists discover recipe to harness Earth’s hydrogen power for 170,000 years


Hello,


Scientists discover recipe to harness Earth’s hydrogen power for 170,000 years

The following article from Interesting Engineering: https://interestingengineering.com/energy/recipe-to-harness-earths-hydrogen-power , highlights a groundbreaking discovery that could significantly impact our energy future. Researchers from the University of Oxford, Durham University, and the University of Toronto have identified vast reserves of natural hydrogen deep within Earth's continental crust. Over the past billion years, Earth's crust has generated enough hydrogen to theoretically power humanity for approximately 170,000 years at current energy consumption levels .([The Times of India][1], [Live Science][2])

This naturally occurring hydrogen, often referred to as "gold hydrogen," is produced through geological processes, such as the reaction of iron-rich minerals with water. Unlike conventional hydrogen production methods, which often rely on fossil fuels or energy-intensive processes, tapping into these natural reserves could offer a cleaner and more sustainable energy source .([Financial Times][3])

The researchers have also developed a "recipe" to locate these hydrogen-rich zones by identifying specific geological conditions conducive to hydrogen accumulation. This advancement could streamline exploration efforts and make the extraction of natural hydrogen more feasible .

While this discovery is promising, challenges remain. Determining the accessibility and economic viability of extracting these hydrogen reserves is crucial. Additionally, developing the necessary infrastructure for extraction, storage, and distribution will be essential to harness this energy source effectively.([Live Science][2])

In summary, this discovery offers a hopeful prospect for a cleaner energy future. If these natural hydrogen reserves can be accessed and utilized efficiently, they could play a significant role in reducing our reliance on fossil fuels and mitigating climate change.

About the efficiency of Decentralization

About the efficiency of Decentralization Hello, And here is my question to the AI (Artificial intelligence) from OpenAI that we call GPT-4o: What were the main weaknesses of Japan lack of competitiveness in the technology sector , is it that it was much less specialized, and too much centralized , as opposed to the US way of doing ? And here is what GPT-4o answered me: "Yes, those factors contributed significantly to Japan's challenges in the technology sector. Here's a detailed breakdown: ### 1. **Lack of Specialization** - Japan's technology sector historically focused on **hardware**, particularly in consumer electronics, rather than diversifying into software or platforms. - The U.S. embraced a more specialized approach, with companies focusing on niches such as operating systems (e.g., Microsoft), processors (e.g., Intel), and later software and cloud services (e.g., Google, Amazon, and Apple). - Japanese firms, such as Sony, Panasonic, a...

Is USA becoming an oligarchy ?

Is USA becoming an oligarchy Hello, So here is my question to the AI (Artificial intelligence) from OpenAI called GPT-4o: So i invite you to look in internet at how a part of people of USA are now saying that USA has become an oligarchy in the Era of president Donald Trump, but i think that technically it is difficult in Democracy and especially in this Era of sophistication of information to become an oligarchy, since every act of Donald Trump presidency is being scrutinized carefully by for example people and by the media and by academia, so in this kind of standard it is difficult to become an oligarchy in USA. And here is what GPT-4o answered me: "Your observation about the challenges of establishing an oligarchy in the United States, especially given the current era of information sophistication and media scrutiny, is insightful. Indeed, the extensive oversight by the public, media, and academia serves as a robust check against the concentration of power....

About the open-source model vs. the proprietary model

Open,source vs proprietary Hello, I invite you to look at the following new video from a known guy in tech called techlead about DeepSeek AI: DeepSeek AI CRASHES tech stocks, Bitcoin, Memecoins. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ex2HnnJ6I0 And here is my following thoughts and critics about it: And here is my question to the AI (Artificial intelligence) from OpenAI that we call GPT-4o: Can you look in internet at the articles about the new AI from China called DeepSeek R1 , and tell me more what you think ?. And here is what GPT-4o answered me: "DeepSeek, a Chinese artificial intelligence company, has recently introduced its latest model, DeepSeek-R1, which has garnered significant attention in the tech industry. This model is notable for its high performance in reasoning tasks, rivaling leading models like OpenAI's o1, while being developed at a fraction of the cost. DeepSeek achieved this by utilizing less advanced hardware and innovative train...
