Spain will sponsor companies to try out a four-day work week.

Foxconn seems to want more subsidy from Wisconsin. It is trying to give the impression that it might actually manufacture something there.

If Foxconn does make electric vehicles for the US market, I suspect they will report their movements and listen to conversations for the Chinese state, in addition to whoever else new cars snoop for.

Proposals to use hydrogen as a fuel are causing confusion because they think of hydrogen as a source of energy.

In fact, the proposed use of hydrogen is not for generation. It is for storing and transporting energy densely, good for machines such as airplanes which need to minimize the weight of their fuel. A tank full of liquid hydrogen weighs a lot less than a battery holding the same amount of usable energy.

However, we're going to need to extract the hydrogen atoms out of something. If we want to use electricity to power this operation, we will extract the hydrogen out of water, using electrolysis.

The advantages of using hydrogen for storage and transport are entirely independent of how we generate electricity to make the hydrogen. Naturally we should choose the best method for that: renewable generation. Not expensive, polluting and accident-prone nuclear reactors.

*Feeble Pandemic Protections at Private Texas Prison Leave People Fearing Death Behind Bars.*

With Republicans in Texas preferring to catch and spread Covid, there seem to be vaccine doses available there. The US government has a responsibility to give federal prisoners medical care, including vaccinations, so it should give those vaccinations to prisoners to protect them.

Some big investment companies are starting to recognize that they have been accelerating global heating for decades, and making some effort to slow the juggernaut.

Is this going to be enough? I don't think it will stop global heating fast enough. We need stronger action.
