  • It isn’t instantly converted back to water. Even if it were, it doesn’t instantly go back into the ocean. This over simplification of “hydrogen means free energy” is dangerous and is reminiscent of the early days of nuclear and fossil fuels. Don’t flame me for wanting to consider all the possible negative effects. Neglecting potential downsides is why our planet is in such a terrible state now.

    Has anyone considered the effects of increasing the salt concentration of the ocean? And don’t tell me “the ocean is big, we couldn’t possibly have an effect” because that’s what climate deniers have been saying the about the atmosphere for decades.

    Nearly all famines are cause by war, natural disasters, or intentional ethnic cleansing.

    There are only a handful of examples in which famine was caused by poor economic decisions and nearly all of the modern examples were by communist governments trying to dictate the price of food.
