One of the things we need to work on is battery technology. We need to get off dependency on oil. Projects like this one, from Oslo, Norway, excite me. The idea of being able to charge the battery during summer and use it during winter is brilliant. #Technology #GlobalWarming https://www.photoncycle.com/en/

@jon Finally, we get to see what looks like a realistic use case for hydrogen.

@jon This is hydrogen storage. +Switzerland uses the geothermal of their lakes as natural seasonal heating/cooling system, and lake water as a "battery" system: https://www.swissinfo.ch/eng/sci-tech/inside-switzerland-s-giant-water-battery/46915530

@jon If this works, it is a major breakthrough. But I see that the most recent news on the website are from 2025.

@jon this is interesting. If it works cost wise, it would be a great thing to install.

@jon how exactly do you solidify hydrogen? Seems to me that if even possible it would have to expend a lot of energy to do so?
