Is the Bering sea crab fishery dead.

14°F above normal.  Ocean is cooking!  Looks like another season of being too warm for Bering sea crab to populate and numbers to grow to make it feasible to fish?  Pretty warm up there.

 

Average December air temperatures at the 925 hPa level (approximately 2,500 feet above the surface) were above the 1991 to 2020 average over essentially all of the Arctic Ocean, but notably in the area centered over the East Siberian Sea (Figure 2a). The unusually warm conditions in this area, which were 6 to 8 degrees Celsius (11 to 14 degrees Fahrenheit) above average, appear to be related to the large area of below-average sea level pressure over the northern North Pacific Ocean pumping warm air into the East Siberian Sea (Figure 2b). Air temperatures were also above average over the eastern Canadian Arctic and most of Greenland.

So everyone should buy an electric car to save the king crabs!! :lol:Good news the walleyes are biting on Pelican Lake. :bc:

Wonder what is used to make all the plastic parts for EV's? Lithium mining, environmental damage big time.

Dozens of articles about how much damage is caused, here's only 1, EV's are one of the worst things for the Planet.

While not great for the planet, but no transportation is, they are better than the current options most people use for transportation that relies on fossil fuels.

Hydrogen powered engines are best and it's inexhaustible, can be run in current gasoline engine vehicles with very little modifications, Mother Earth Magazine done it some years back, basically Pollution free.

Hydrogen is a very energy intensive product to make.  Takes a lot more electricity to make hydrogen than it does to just run the vehicle off electricity in the first place.  Very expensive to keep such an explosive substance safe and secure

EV's are a joke and Lithium mining is an extreme pollutant to the environment and water supply's

 

By 2030, we envisage hydrogen to be in use across a range of transport modes, including HGVs, buses and rail, along with early stage uses in commercial shipping and aviation. Our analysis shows there could be up to 6TWh demand for low-carbon hydrogen from transport in 2030.

Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe, and there is tremendous potential for a hydrogen ecosystem that utilizes fuel cell system technology. Fuel cell systems generate electricity using hydrogen, and their only emission is water vapor.

 

Unlike batteries, fuel cell technology can be scaled for passenger vehicles, as well as buses, ships, and trains. In the future, hydrogen will even fuel urban air mobility.

No thanks on hydrogen.  They can and hopefully make them to replace the people that need the experience of paying an extreme amount for fuel like fossil fuel proponents do and also those that don’t want to fill up from the comfort of your own home and want to be dependent ongoing to a gas station.

 

expensive and look it all that electricity needed to make hydrogen.  Big process and very energy intensive.   No wonder it cost over $60 for 260 miles of range in a small sedan.  Takes about $15 or so to get that range out of a supercharger or just $4 dollars in home electricity to get that range with an EV

I almost feel guilty eating snow crab legs anymore but those things are so damn tasty....had some last weekend. Figure I will eat as many as I can while still around And surprisingly the prices are still fairly reasonable

Start around 3:30 in this vid if you want to see another hydrogen experience.  
 

Much better to just fill with electricity at home then be bound to fuel stations 100% of the time which is very time consume adventure

Think of the lucky bastard who gets to dip a leg of the very last snow crab in butter.

It will either be an Alaska native or somebody like Trump.

Can you imagine when Polaris Hydrogen powered sleds and SxS's explode into the market! Mind blown 😳 

 

 

 

Ya know no one thought cars would replace a Horse & Buggy either, it's coming and sooner than some think, Hydrogen fueled vehicles are the future, EV's are joke.

And you’d have been the one calling cars a joke as you were riding in your buggy :thumbsup:

What does a Light bulb salesman know about anything mechanical or a tool kit?

I know you’d be that guy on a horse calling cars a joke :thumbsup:
