There's a plan to use the Haber-Bosch process to turn hydrogen into ammonia, to use as fuel for ships, et cetera. Why? Ammonia contains no carbon, so when burnt it produces no carbon dioxide. But I suppose, hydrogen can come from natural gas? There are separate plans to turn Australian brown coal--useless to ship long distances because it is unstabley explosive--into hydrogen, which can be shipped using LNG technology, more or less.
There is the also the separate possibility of using Ammonia to store hydrogen, which is a quick release from Ammonia, but thus locked-in to Ammonia has an entirely superior hydrogen density than has liquified hydrogen, as well as a rational storage temperature, which liquified hydrogen has not, et cetera.
The connection is the same process is used to create ammonium nitrate, is it not, the topic in question for these protests / indirect farmer removals.
Wolves are mostly a tool to eliminate hunting and keep wild game numbers low. They've decimated the elk herds in the western US. Wolves rarely attack livestock- look for a story about wolves attacking humans- it's practically unheard of. They stay as far away from humans as they can. They're very smart- much like that German Shepherd!
Wolves are pack animals. They hunt the old, weak and diseased first and foremost. (See NG on wolves of Yellowstone). Every pack has a distinct call. You want to keep wolves away from livestock, record a different pack or locate a recording of one, set up a sound system and play. The local ones will step around.
I have been with wolves of all ages for 25 years. Raised many, rescued some. What I can tell you is they have bad PR. Anyone saying all wolves are bad and they kill indiscriminately are just Ill informed.
Good idea about the recording. I've also heard about marking territory with purchased wolf urine. And still wonder how somebody got that and bottled it. ha
Thank you Michael, and Jordan and of course Jeroen. My Wife has family in N Holland potato farming. Many acres up against the dykes that keep the North Sea at bay. So gratifying to see Jeroen and hear his now familiar accent. He is strong. The Dutch farmers must never give up. Friends in Saint Pancras near Alkmaar. He is a retired engineer. He and his wife are coming to visit here in TN next month. Looking forward to conversation.

More honest than any human.
Great info! Solutions!
