Yea, this is more of a discussion topic and not a well thought out or scientifically sound proposal.
I saw the update from the MD Senate this morning about the POWER Act and the fact that we might start hitting electricity issues with all of these options available was just frustrating. Maryland needs that sweet sweet clean energy!

Yes to free parking. Could then go to Dooby’s, Mt Vernon Marketplace, Baby on Fire, or plenty of other spots in Mt Vernon to eat.
Half day.

The Peabody Library is take-your-breath-away beautiful. Don’t look up pictures ahead of time.

As a Baltimore ice cream pro, I can assure you that the a) the Charmery is pretty good!, but b) other two are better.

I get Baltimore ice cream from Bmore Licks or Taharka, both of which are better than anything I ate in New York.

Twist: it was for her.
But who cares what’s in the package. It would just look like a brown box with a shiny picture of lord of the rings or a Thursday night football promo on it no matter what’s inside!

Ok sure, but we need 10,000 signatures. I’m not saying that only Reddit would vote, you know!

Reply to I come bringing good news about hydrogen by bearjew64
The basic idea: some energy technologies seem to have “learning curves,” where manufacturers get better at producing the more they make and it drives prices down. Solar and wind seem to have nice learning curves, which has driven down prices; nuclear does not, and neither do fossil fuels.
Does green hydrogen? The answer appears to be yes, and that has the potential to “fill in the gaps” where we need a source of stable energy to cover for solar or wind when the sun is down and the breeze is light.
And green hydrogen is actually green. It involves using clean energy to electrolyze water to generate carbon-free hydrogen.
I’ll be honest, I loved the optimism here!

One of those things you see and don’t think about. I figured they were airplane related, but the technical system is pretty cool!
