Summary
Perry Kincaid, founder of KEI Networks, organised a PUBLIC webinar Alberta is high on hydrogen : Introducing hydrogen to Alberta's energy mix and commentaries about how and why, Thursday, March 31st 4:00pm MST.
As part of the webinar, I was to provide a 10 minute commentary,which I focussed on : [safety, interesting technical concepts related to hydrogen, and 2 [fun, crazy] concepts].
Unfortunately, after several days of trying, I was not able to combine [audio, video] streams without excessive video distortion, even though I was using a very simple approach (FAR sophisticated than the other videos that I have produced). There is still significant audio corruption [halt, break, repeat], which is annoying.
Users must therefore download one of the slidesow presentation formats [.odp, .pdf], as well as the voice commentary file. As per the "key files" below, simply start the slide-show, launch the audio voice file and page down through the presentation as the voice suggests.
Note that a cuple of slides have been restored to the presentation after having been cut out to hit the 10 minute limit. Voice commentaries weren't made for several slides, but they have been left in the presentation.
Key files
- Slide show - open source presentation file format .odp. Microsoft PowerPoint will probably complain, but should be able to load.
- Voice narrative - in mp3 audio file format.
- Adobe pdf - file format.
- Voice script - text file with script for the voice commentary. Also included are notes for some of the slides that were not commented on (marked by "(X)").
References
?Most? of the references, with links to the source, are listed below by video scene. A few additional references, not covered in the talk, are provided for further information.

- Garrett Motion - image of energy/volume of [PbA, NiMH, Li-ion] batteries vs "fuel cell + hydrogen tank"
"... At Garrett Motion, we generally believe that lighter, smaller vehicles are better candidates for battery electric powertrains, while heavier, larger vehicles are better suited for fuel cells. But not only are BEVs best suited for lighter vehicles that require much less energy than larger/heavier vehicles, but BEVs are best suited for travel within cities, rather than between them, in part because of recharging times and in part because of this disadvantage relative to fuel cells on energy storage. ..."

Govt to build underground gas storages
Khaleeq KianiPublished September 29, 2020
ISLAMABAD: Amid increasing gas deficit, the government is reviving an underground gas storage project shelved almost a decade ago to plan higher imports in summers and bridge higher demand-supply gap in winters.
