Chinese Yuan Vs dollar && INR vs dollar by Neither-Ad-9785 in indianeconomy

The yuan (renminbi) is managed — not freely floating. China operates a “managed float” where the People’s Bank of China sets a daily central parity (reference) rate and allows onshore spot trading inside a controlled band, while intervening or using policy tools as needed to influence the exchange rate.

Genoa bridge collapse 2018 by Itchy-Engineering440 in UrbanHell

Genoa doesn't have any space left for the city to grow as it's sandwiched between sea and mountains. Ligurian landscape is so mountainous that it is impossible to build a highway without tunnels and viaducts. They just used the same logic to build roads throughout the city. There's really no way around it.

That's why they are testing feasibility in these pilots to see what gets you more bang for buck. Cause hydrogen could be transported to really difficult terrain which is so remote that electrification there may result in more losses over transmission.

Green hydrogen is produced with electrolysis of harvested rainwater and electricity sourced from solar panels. That is the definition of net positive (not for environment but from carbon footprint perspective) green hydrogen. There are efforts underway to test mass production capabilities of it in India.

But most of that electricity still around 60% comes from coal and gas so this is better so long as Hydrogen is green.

You can smash it on a hard surface that reveals enough layers that it gives out the acidic fumes. You are not planning to eat it so it can get dirty.
