The Los Angeles City Council voted unanimously on Wednesday to convert a natural gas power plant to a new hydrogen system that critics say may not provide enough power and could cause more environmental damage.
The proposal is part of a “Green New Deal” adopted by former mayor Eric Garcetti to shutter three natural gas plants in favor of “renewable” energy — over objections that solar and wind power would not be sufficient, and that the move would cost thousands of union jobs.
Garcetti stuck with his plan even after the state suffered electricity shortages in 2020 and after Democrats lost a local special election in which the plan was a key issue.

Ever wonder how bad things have to get before even California nutballs realize Democrats are stupid?
LA?
Could NOT care less about LA(Shit Hole City).
Maybe the talking rabbit will have a better solution to the green new deal?
p.s. I didn't think Oz was a real place, but l.A. surely most definitely isn't kansas!
The only ones dumber than these cretins are the people who vote for them.
Morons. Hydrogen gas in either mined or made from natural gas.
Not good enough, it should be a FELONY for ANY Public Employee to use, own or possess Natural Gas or any product that uses Natural Gas. And they should begin by disconnecting All Natural Gas hookups to All Public Buildings
And it takes more energy to produce than it yields when you burn it. This has to be a back door payoff to someone; after millions exchange hands in “R&D” projects, it will never come to pass.
Nailed it!
So they need to expend energy to break up the hydrocarbon chains in natural gas to yield a smaller quantity of pure hydrogen, which when used will blow up like the Hindenburg?
How about the flatulence produced by the members of the Los Angeles City Council? There’s enough of that to power the city and surrounding area.
Linde converts natural gas to hydrogen for a living

Line from The Martian, “Because nothing bad in the history of man has ever happened from igniting hydrogen.”
I wonder which of these overlords is an expert at energy systems, logistics, hydrogen storage and production, and pipelines?
Energy Content PER GALLON
Hydrogen gas: 6,500 Btu at 3,000 psi
Natural gas: 33,000–38,000 Btu at 3,000 psi
Gasoline: 109,000–125,000 Btu

Brilliant Move California RETARDS!!!
Well when people believe that men can get pregnant, then what do you expect when they deal with the complicated issue of power generation.....
Democrat held territory the land of the backward people
Or you can use solar/wind/hydro electricity to split water molecules.
What could be greener than that???? / s
