Popcorn farts. Maybe even unicorn farts. The amount of hydrogen they are touting in their discoveries is trivial. Personally, I wouldn’t want to be any where near places where they are combusting hydrogen. The lines are prone to leak. They blowed up real good.

Unlike the burning of carbon, the burning of hydrogen robs our atmosphere of the oxygen we breathe.

The earth will be swimming in dihydrogen monoxide.

Just like the movie crack in the world.

I took a shower this morning and a whole bunch of dihydrogen monoxide got all over me.

I see wildly optimistic claims without any actual hydrogen to back them up.

If, in some way, virtually free energy were possible, “free energy” to the public will never be allowed. The peons gotta pay.

Isn’t this one of the silliest notions you ever saw? To think that in all these years of petroleum exploration in looking for traps, drilling structures of all kinds all over the world we have failed to find any commercial hydrogen accumulations. I personally have drilled hundreds of wells across the globe and never once had a single gravel gauger once tell me of a single show of hydrogen on his gas chromatograph

Well, there was that one time Halliburton tried hydrogen as a gas block for cement and nearly blew us up. It did blow the bushings out of the rotary table

I’ll weigh in on this as an absurd pipe dream. Just another green wet dream

Yeah, the places that you would drill for the stuff would not be in sedimentary basins but in bedrock. Have fun with that. Better own a diamond mine for the bits. You are better off trying to capture it coming out of a mine shaft but that would be a fool’s errand.

Hydrogen Delusion...

Storing hydrogen or transporting it by pipe line is very expensive.

Because of very low density, very high pressure is necessary.

Because of very high pressure and low density, pipe line and storage leaks are under constant repair.

Every pipe line or storage leak involves catastrophic explosive risk.

Thank you for posting, Blueflag.

170,000 years? Yeah until they have some globalist jackhole come up with a con and fraud to tell us we only have 10 years for the earth to survive unless you pay them this super-duper magic tax to make it all go away.

I remember discussions about that during the cold bed methane hey day. The idea certainly was a fool‘s errand Reminded me of something less efficient than citygate storage in collapsible ceiling, gas tanks

You were lucky, it could have been hydrogen hydroxide.
