Oh The Humanity!
It costs more than that to pressurize it and store it.
She’s just stupid.
“The Energy Earthshots are an all-hands-on-deck call for innovation, collaboration and acceleration of our clean energy economy by tackling the toughest remaining barriers to quickly deploy emerging clean energy technologies at scale,” “
these morons think that if they string together enough buzzwords, snap their fingers and carpet bomb with billions, that the laws of physics are just “remaining barriers” to be “tackled” ...
I can top that. The sun is mostly hydrogen. We can just go there and get all the hydrogen we can carry and bring it back. There’s enough there for centuries of free hydrogen!
Seemed far fetched to those that heard it at the time. It would address the problem of storing wind energy for later use, but at what cost?
The Energy Earthshots are an all-hands-on-deck call for innovation, collaboration and acceleration of our clean energy economy by taking money from the middle class to pay for attempting to create our idea of a communist utopia.
The oceans are full of hydrogen......................
The biggest problem with H2 is leaks!
The molecule is so small, leaks are common, hard to find and maintain.
Probably not something you want in an car with all the vibration.
I’ll take hydrogen embrittlement for $100 please.
Gonna take a lot more coal plants to get hydrogen that cheap. We can do it!!!
—and most of the commentary after the article displays just how ignorance is extremely widespread—
Is there some way of making a compound with hydrogen and carbon, that would have high energy density, be safe to store and transport and economical? I know if sounds far fetched, but it might be worth considering.
When my great-grandkids ask me what we did for lighting before candles, I can say “electricity”.
Everybody knows that they do not make a seal that can completely contain hydrogen, right?
the DOE, that hasn’t produced one single unit of energy since it’s inception...
Honestly, this is not as crazy an idea as it seems at first blush.
This essentially solves the distribution and storage pitfalls of hydrogen but only partially solves the economics of hydrogen production.
How is she in any way qualified to be the energy secretary? Just her ideology, I guess.
Artificial. Lowering the cost means pumping in taxpayer funds.
Like using channel locks to open the petals on a rose.
This is what happens when your only engineering credential says woke on it
Wow, that’s the ticket. Get the price down less than bottled water, and water falls from the sky...
Granholm just needs the Demented One to issue and E.O. saying it is $1. Then, everything else in the economy can/will adjust.
