It's clear that most National supporters would have no problems with what he did

How is it clear? What evidence do you have to back this up?

What a dork, of course they will come around. It may take some time and some convincing, but people will definitely accept this.

The party itself definitely holds it's candidates to a higher standard, no argument there.

I think most National supporters would think Uffindell was a mistake though.

I hadn't really thought about this before now, but all four MPs that have been in the news for the wrong reasons have been women.

When I read the title, I thought this would be a publicity stunt. Amazing that they got to work with NASA like this, and it's great publicity for them.

Hydrogen has been in the same place it is now for the last fifty years, it's not happening.

This is true if you completely ignore the cost of running a combustion engine vehicle, or the fact that EVs have improved hugely even over the last ten years.

Or, you know, literally any other means of storage. 25% round trip efficiency is absolutely dire.

Besides, they can sell power to neighbouring states.

They won't, because EVs will always be the better option, and the niche applications where an EV simply isn't viable will be served by biofuels rather than hydrogen. It's a mongrel of a product to manufacture, store, transport, and transfer into the vehicle, whereas liquid fuels can be stored in a fuel can, and transported by every means of transport known to man.

Hydrogen has been the fuel of the future for the last fifty years, and it's still not a viable option.

Spending longer filling up than an EV because the pump keeps freezing up, and $200 USD to do so, isn't an issue of scale.

it's going badly for light vehicles

You get a quarter of the energy you put in back out the other end, assuming you're using a fuel cell. And the entire system is horrendously expensive, even more so than an electric power train.

It's a stupid idea.

For anyone who thinks hydrogen is a good idea, please read this. There's another article I'm trying to find that goes into the many technical issues with hydrogen fuel, such as pumps icing up.

this is the article I was looking for

I think a lot of people underestimate just how dangerous farm animals can be, many of them are more than capable of throwing a person across a paddock.

I just completed a big milestone in my whitewater kayaking journey, my first grade three trip, down the Hut gorge.

Put in was just downstream of the waterworks at Kaitoke regional park, and get out at Te Marua.

One combat roll, no swims, flow approx 6.5 cumec at the Kaitoke gauge, probably about 8 after the Pakuratahi joins the flow.

I don't really see the difference between that and having someone watch the cameras, to be honest.

I mean, they do have the right to keep people out of their store, they're under no obligation to provide goods or services to anyone. The issue is how they went about it.

I'd love to see one of these companies end up paying out a hefty discrimination case over this, it's likely the only way they will learn for good.

Definitely lucky, and just amazing it's happened twice in such a short period of time.

You shed skin quite frequently, so it will come off pretty soon by itself.
