    Hydrogen is simply too expensive to store for any real mass power use. H2 is nothing more than the latest fantasy of folks trying to find a reason to avoid investing in solar.

      Green hydrogen is made via electrolysis using renewable energy. You’re simply repeating the same language of the oil and gas industry by suggest new green technologies are just fantasies.

      Grid-scale energy storage is a requirement to reduce volatility in any system with a large reliance on VRE.

          It’s actually the cheapest at what it does. Like I said, you are basically repeating the language of fossil fuel companies. It is tragic that certain “pro-green” groups have basically chosen to oppose green energy because they have already made up their minds about what green technology can be.

            High pressure tanks or freezing it to make it liquid is in no way inexpensive. The entire idea is an attempt to keep existing LPG manufacturers in business. It is a total scam. Just like uranium, it shall always be expensive to use. Which is the entire intent.

              You can store hydrogen underground at a tiny fraction of the cost of any other type of energy storage. All you are demonstrating is your incredible ignorance of the topic. Like I said, you are stuck in the past and are repeating obsolete “facts,” mainly because you have already decide what green energy could ever be.

            No it is not. "Neither the United States government nor any agency thereof, nor any of their employees,
            makes any warranty, express or implied, or assumes any legal liability or responsibility for the accuracy,
            completeness, or usefulness of any information, apparatus, product, or process disclosed, or represents

              You have been brainwashed by particular corporate interests. You are basically becoming a climate change denier because you cannot accept facts outside of your worldview, nor are you even aware of the necessary steps needed to eliminate all GHG emissions. You’ll starve half of humanity and shut down all industry due to your narrow understanding of the issue.

              It is very saddening that you refuse to even factual sources when they are presented to you.

              Disclaimers such as this one are the standard in technical and research papers published in the US (particularly from the gov:t), protecting them against potential lawsuit.

              No disrespect intended, but I’m uncertain whether you are ignorant, or deliberately trolling. If it is the former case, please educate yourself and read up on the topic from a diverse set of academic sources, and in both cases, please refrain from spreading further disinformation on this subject.
