In virtually all arenas of technology in which there are (or were at one time) many different competitors, we inevitably reach the point that “the winners win and the losers lose.”
In renewable energy, we recently said goodbye (except for niche applications) to concepts like hydrokinetics, geothermal, and biomass. In automotive, one could say that biofuels took its last breath when Chevron gave up about a decade ago after 30 years of effort, and, per this post, hydrogen expired today.
While I grant that this is a controversial matter, I think that winnowing out the competition and leaving us with the strongest players–to strengthen even further–is a good thing.
In renewable energy, we have solar and wind; in automobile drive trains, we have electricity. Concentrating on what we do best is, I would argue, the most effective way to decarbonize the energy and transportation sectors—an absolute must if this civilization is to deal effectively with environmental collapse.
There Is No Way to Prevent the Winners from Winning–and That’s a Good Thing

Is a Team of Is a Bunch of MAGA Thugs Beating the Snot Out of a Woman a New Low, or Is it What We Now Need to Expect?
Just when we think there is a bottom, the United States sinks just a bit lower. It’s our brand nowadays.
That’s quite a left cross this thug delivered to this helpless female protestor.
It wasn’t too long ago that beating up women was taboo in America. My 11-year-old, sixth-grade son saw a male classmate of his badly bruise a girl by pushing her hard down to the ground–and proceeded to punch him in the mouth. A fellow father witnessed the scene and told me, “Your son’s fist was in that kid’s teeth within a fraction of a second.”
I had brought him up to avoid violence and achieve peaceful resolutions to conflicts, but I couldn’t fault him here.
What a disgusting bunch of turds we’ve become.
We’re starting to see intimations that stupidity like this is generated and posted by Russian data centers so as to appeal to MAGA idiots and favor the Republicans in the upcoming midterms.
Every day, we come across articles that summarize Trump’s “accomplishments.”
I thought I’d publish this masterpiece.
