Add to the above list if you can, thank you.
Resources For Understanding The War Beyond The Bulletins
Defense Politics Asia's youtube channel and their map, who is an independent youtuber with a mostly neutral viewpoint.
Moon of Alabama, which tends to have good analysis (though also a couple bad takes here and there)
Understanding War and the Saker: neo-conservative sources but their reporting of the war (so far) seems to line up with reality better than most liberal sources.
On the ground: Patrick Lancaster, an independent journalist reporting in the Ukrainian warzones.
Unedited videos of Russian/Ukrainian press conferences and speeches.
Yesterday's discussion post.

No no, go off king, I love it when people have little niche things they know a lot about (especially when it reveals that a techbro thing genuinely is a grift designed to keep people from panicking and minecrafting politicians a little bit longer).
edit: speak of the fucking devil:

This isn't correct. Hydrogen cars are almost all hydrogen fuel cell cars. Fuel cells are very similar to batteries and power an electric engine. There are cars with hydrogen combustion engines but I don't know if there's been one you could buy from a car dealership, they've mostly been testbeds. The rest of your info seems correct.

At my uni, I got an email (several actually) from the local natural gas monopoly (who is the local electric power monopoly in southern parts of US it seems; guess they lost that race here).
Anyway, it was surveys asking how I feel about hydrogen shit. I didn’t answer cause it seems dumb, like a way to pretend you’re doing renewable shit when in reality…
It’s just more war-type infrastructure; extremely capital-intensive (monopolizable and also a money printer). I know that compressed gas and shit isn’t necessarily inherently militaristic, but I honestly don’t think it’s a coincidence that Israel’s main export consumer good is sodastream: some pressurized gas shit.
This is all just a loose collection of vibes I’ve built up, but I stand by them (for now)
