It really and truly was high-intensity, aimed, microwave radiation that caused āHavana Syndromeā (permanent brain damage) in US and Canadian diplomats while they were stationed in Cuba and China in recent years.
Because it *does not matter* what the official intention was. The facts are:
1. Advanced technology was aimed at official US & CA diplomats.
2. Those diplomats were legally permitted, and expected, to be in those known locations while stationed in Cuba and China.
...
3. The devices aimed at our diplomats in Cuba and China were then deliberately and intentionally fired high-energy microwave payloads into the bodies of US and Canadian government officials who were not violating any agreement or law by merely being at these places.
In order to even begin claiming justification here, the theoretical crimes would have to have been so heinous and obvious as to require skipping all of those foundational steps of legitimate proceedings...
The bottom line is that commentary trying to brush aside these assaults on our diplomats and which attempts to sweep the well documented harm of this new form of attack under the rug, provides aid and cover for the enemy.
This scenario w/new tech now tries to achieve same goal w/out the unwanted parts.
There is no way to justify this harm to diplomats.
It is an abhorrent & unacceptable use of technology.
The answer here to this one should be unambiguous: That we reject the use of invisible, covertly deployed, unannounced, and unexpected weapons to inflict brain damage in the a target. Full stop.
Implementing defense, detection, and countermeasures against this new type of attack must be done...
The report Iāve attached (linked in first tweet at top) helps in getting past that first hurdle....

Charting early steps for Hā infrastructure in Europe.
šSummary of conclusions of a new study by @AgoraEW @AFRY_global @Ma_Deutsch @gnievchenko (1/17)

The idea behind this study is that future hydrogen demand is highly uncertain and we donāt want to spend tens of billions of euros to repurpose a network which wonāt be needed. For instance, hydrogen in ground transport is a hotly debated topic https://t.co/RlnqDYVzpr (2/17)
Similar things can be said about heat. 40% of todayās industrial natural gas use in the EU goes to heat below 100Ā°C and therefore is within range of electric heat pumps ā whose performance factors far exceed 100%. (3/17)
Even for higher temperatures, a range of power-to-heat (PtH) options can be more energy-efficient than hydrogen and should be considered first. Available PtH technologies can cover all temperature levels needed in industrial production (e.g. electric arc furnace: 3500Ā°C). (4/17)
In our view, hydrogen use for feedstock and chemical reactions is the only inescapable source of industrial hydrogen demand in Europe that does not lend itself to electrification. Examples include ammonia, steel, and petrochemical industries. (5/17)

The Avengers Mansion was a Beaux-Arts palace. Fans know it as 890 Fifth Avenue. The Frick Collection, which now occupies the place, uses the address of the front door: 1 East 70th Street.
