Solar and wind are cute but have never been the heavy lifters when it comes to energy.

For sustainable, scalable, energy... the best options I’ve seen are deep drilling geo thermal and hydrogen.

Using hydrogen to produce electricity in cars gives the best solution I’ve heard to date. The fact you can ‘hatvest’ hydrogen at home, off grid, is very exciting

Hydrogen isn’t an energy source, it is an energy transportation means. Discussing it in the same context and gas and diesel cars is absurd.

The all-EV folks never did address where all the electricity was going to come from to power the transportation system. Again, it is absurd this was allowed to happen. The policy makers pushing all-EVs are simply not serious people if they do not address this up front. And if the answer is “sustainable energy”, meaning wind and solar, they have doubled down on not serious. You cannot power modern civilization using wind and solar.

Distributed nuclear power looks very favorable, and is much cheaper than geothermal.

It’s a good thing that it doesn’t take energy to produce hydrogen. /sarc

Why not nuclear — especially for Germany?

Please do tell us how the hydrogen is produced? Hydrogen will not come from the ground and needs an energy source to produce it. Maybe wishes and unicorn farts?
