Australian scientists have discovered a method to produce ammonia—an essential component in fertilizers—using only air and electricity. By mimicking lightning and channeling that energy through a small device, they’ve bypassed the traditional, fossil fuel-heavy method that’s been used for over a century. This breakthrough could lead to cleaner, cheaper fertilizer and even help power the future, offering a potential alternative fuel source for industries like shipping.

    "Am I the only one who's worried this 'cleaner' method will just be a slippery slope to more dependency on 'renewable' energy sources that just end up getting overhyped and underdelivered? Guess we'll see how this pans out #FossilFuelsForever"
