#UK poised to drop plans to replace home #gas #boilers with #hydrogen alternatives | #HydrogenPower | The Guardian

In my opinion, it was a silly idea to replace natural gas infrastructure with hydrogen burning, primarily because it is not produced in an environmentally friendly way and the current method pumps out lots of #GreenhouseGases and #Pollution, thus negating the supposed benefit of burning it.

Wood in stove problem.
Steam train clearly not working.
No chuff-chuff toot toot!

That was a physical basketball game between #Purdue and #Rutgers. Glad to see my #Boilers get the win but hats off to Rutgers. They really played well.

#Poll for homeowners with hot water tanks:

How often do you service your hot water tank by descaling &/or replacing the sacrificial anode?

(I’ll make a separate poll for people with tankless #boilers.)

Started watching #1899 on #Netflix. Can’t say much about the story yet, but the CGI work is fascinating.

Sidenote: was the #coal used to power large #steamships really shovelled manually into the multiple #boilers? I know manpower was cheap, but surely some mechanical system would have been more reliable and easier to control? (Apparently not, says this answer to the same question: https://www.quora.com/Why-wasnt-a-system-developed-to-automatically-feed-coal-to-warship-steam-boilers-rather-than-being-dependant-on-men-and-shovels )

So upon further review the gas-stove freakout makes a lot more sense; it's the opening shot in trying to scare homeowners into turning against ALL their carbon-burning equipment - furnaces, boilers, etc.
First they came for the stoves...

Last day in Helsinki. Not sure I’m looking forward to going home - our nearly-new boiler stopped working yesterday and again overnight ☹️ So my poor other half has had to hang outside the upstairs window for hours with hot rags and the kettle, trying to defrost the condensate pipe 😢
Photo of a nice warm fire to warm everyone up!

@futuretimeline, what do you think of this?

Shadow knows that this is good. (But you may have to click on her to see what she has to say...sorry; it's how #Mastodon formats things.)
