In discussions about clean Hydrogen, there is a popular idea floating around, particularly in countries like Germany or Japan that import large parts of their current fossil fuel energy. Instead of importing fossil fuels, the story goes, we will import large quantities of Hydrogen in the future from places where wind and sun are plentiful, and therefore, renewable energy is cheap. The problem with this idea is that Hydrogen is really difficult to transport. ⚡💧🚢🏭 🧵

What do you think? Is there any defensible case for building Ammonia Crackers? I don't think so, but I'm open to hearing your arguments. #hydrogen #ammonia #ammoniacrackers

in reply to hanno • • •Solar collectors on half of the worlds roofs is more energy than is used today ALL SOURCES oil, nuke, wind, sun, geothermal.
Over and over the Oil industry, not just Exxon, produces lies and rumours.
One Top Lie and Rumour is "we-need-a-new-solution" to get clean energy. In news, all over our movies, they pretend there is a need for "a solution"
The solution is: End the blocks preventing the deployment of solar and wind.
Just Build It NOW!

in reply to Kevin Russell • • •The article states that half of the world's rooftops could generate all of the current *electricity* needs of the world (doesn't mention the other forms of direct energy usage). Nevertheless, it points to the real problem: energy storage. That's the problem they try to solve with hydrogen, which I also don't think is a good solution. But I'm not a scientist or engineer.

Energy storage cost is falling like a rock, and solar and battery together made up over 80% of new American energy construction.
Hurry on getting to the article, the dictatorship is taking them down.

EVs dont last as long as their batteries do, and EV battery recycling is already a very successful, into utility grade storage.

in reply to António Manuel Dias • • •I hope this doesn't land as dunning you, but here is today's story on connecting the newest largest battery system in Europe.
Zenobe said the first phase of its project at Blackhillock, was now live with capacity to store enough power to supply 200 megawatts of electricity for two hours. It is due to be expanded to 300 megawatts by next year, enough to supply 3.1 million homes, 👉 more than every household in Scotland.

Biden taxed the corporations who had been untaxed since boomers watched morning cartoons. Biden raised a trillion and half dollars that OAC, Bernie and Dems spent in climate. Billions for free heat pumps, multiple offshore windfarms, miles of solar farms, solar roofs.
Created HISTORIC job levels, increased unionisation.
Advocate for social changes you'd like, don't put it in the way of building New Energy, full employment, taxing who got rich avoiding their responsibilities
