@dr_ljbrown @willows_robert @petroll_free
Farmers ability to make their own Fuel and Nitrogen fertiliser directly from air and waste biomass is a step closer with HydGene's breakthrough technology.

In its most lethal year, 1996, AIDS took about 1,100 lives in the United States each week.
Last week, COVID took at least 4,100 lives….and this is considered so unremarkable by news media, institutions and politicians that this pandemic is over?
