The Environmentally Friendly Fuel That Can Kill You | Lightning Round

Hmmm….the problem with shipping anything potentially toxic by cargo ship can be seen in the Beirut explosion though. A lot of cargo ships are old, don't meet safety standards, change hands under a labyrinth of different owner and company names, can get tangled up in international law issues, etc, etc. Trying to trace responsibility for that whole thing was an absolute nightmare. But my main concern really is just how many maritime accidents I've heard about that involved large vessels which weren't cared for properly due to cost cutting, pressure to meet deadlines, bad weather, lack of proper employee training. I really don't think it'd be a good idea to put any more toxic items on cargo ships than we already do.

ngl wish i didn''t googole that!

Wait.. THE FUEL you are putting IN YOUR CAR.. to burn… can burn you?!??! Whatttt.. who knew 😉 Better switch it up for anotherone that doesn't burn!

Oh god, immidiate contrarianism. Humans 😢

If it can really kill, then it could sell a lot as people become suicidal. A car that could transport you and be rigged to become a suicide chamber. Excellent.

Agree using Hydrogen for fuel is a pipe dream and ammonia is also too dangerous , also Lithium Ion batteries are also not only worse for the environment in production than petroleum engines , We should be focusing on limiting emissions that come from the tail pipe and also developing clean fuels that can work in IC engines either a synthetic diesel or synthetic petrol

better than EV definitely!

Could you imagine just peeing into a gass can and it just works as fuel. Like that would be THE SHIZ

4:21 Clip is of an over-the-top liquid spray rig whereas anhydrous ammonia is injected (applied about 8-10 inches sub-surface) into the soil and any visible white vapor means improper application.

It breaking apart might actually help in accessing the interior of an asteroid…

Joe, it looks like Toyota took on your challenge, and has quietly been developing the all electric bZ4X model.

Now that Barry believes, you may do as well?

And gasoline, diesel, and kerosene can't?

All the reasons below are good for sticking with gasoline, diesel, and kerosene.

Just picked up Scott Carney's book on Audible. Can't wait to hear this story

CO2 is regularly used as a fertilizer in greenhouse agriculture. CO2 in the atmosphere would have to reach a concentration well beyond what has been measured across the existence of the human species to cause problems with food crop nutrition. The air is simply not rich enough in CO2 to warrant such concerns. It is asinine to assert that climate change or human sourced CO2 in the atmosphere is directly impacting nutrient draw from soils via preferential carbohydrate synthesis. Such a change would be below the limit of detection and washed out by noise in data at the present day atmospheric CO2 concentration. Soil depletion is by far the greatest factor affecting nutrient uptake and residual soil nutrients. Monocropping and deep tilling wears out soils and synthetic fertilizers only replace the nutrient in the soils. They do not replace the destroyed mycoculture responsible for enhanced nutrient uptake through roots. As water draws soil nutrients further into the ground, the fungi in the soil is responsible for sequestering and distributing nutrient the roots can't absorb before those nutrients pass below the roots and fungi. With less fungi, those nutrients can completely escape uptake by seasonal crops.

Regenerative agriculture is what we need. Current farming practices are killing our soil and waters.

We need #soilfoodweb

I could teach you for hours about why our food and soil have declined.

Toyota makes an EV.

When all is said and done it will turn out that petrol/gasoline is the greenest fuel, beating such alternatives and even EVs and biodiesel. We just need an honest LCA.

I'm a refrigeration operator on commercial fishing boats, Anhydrous ammonia is not a good time, it attacks all of the damp places on your body very very aggressively. Everywhere you are even a little sweaty. You can feel your balls burning immediately in the presence of a small leak, not to mention your lungs eyes nose mouth. I would trust Toyota to make a reliable fueling system, but never all of the random jackasses who would end up operating those stations.

⚠️ if we go carbon neutral, that means that we are also made out of carbon so that means we’ll be extinct. Carbon neutral is not gonna prevent global warming. It’s just gonna make things horrible. I am against carbon neutral. I’m against electric vehicles. I’m against of anything that is carbon neutral.

What about rings made out of billions of small space stations?

I worked at a pharmaceutical wholesaler. Someone dropped 6 one gallon jugs of ammonia in the warehouse and the fumes were awful. Hurt your lungs. What about vehicle accidents?

Rest of the U.S.: "So I won't have to pump my own gas anymore?"
Me, living in NJ: "So… ammonia huh?"
