[FRIAM] International firm to invest $254M in ABQ hydrogen factory -- ABQ Journal

Sat Mar 12 18:43:55 EST 2022

In California during the summer they have had rolling blackouts or
brownouts.  In the Bay Area I think they have had nuclear Naval vessels
connect to the grid to help.  Naval reactors are small compared to power
plant reactors but I guess even a little bit helps.
