And how much energy is needed to produce burnable Hydrogen? Is it a core energy like coal and nuclear?

Haven’t we already reached “peak hydrogen”?

SMDH! Perhaps they need to dismantle anything capable of using “FFs” first. Then if and when that ‘unprecedented’ cold wave appears they can feel really good.

None of course. It runs on unicorn farts

Wonder what will happen if they find out that hydrogen is the chemical that helps control the carbon in the atmosphere? And they start using up all the hydrogen?

Let me publish my solutions to the power shortage here before someone patents them.

Equip each wind turbine with a diesel motor which can be used to spin the blades to generate electricity when the wind isn’t blowing. For the solar farms, equip them with large banks of floodlights to generate electricity on cloudy days and nights.

I’ll believe it when I see it. Until then, Europe is dependent on natural gas.

Good, more for us.

Recognizing that if there were such a thing as “man-made global climate change,” and that such a thing would be global, not local, where are all the studies that provide any evidence that anything that has been done and all the money that has been collected (not necessarily spent, of course) in the name of “climate change,” has had any effect at all on the so called climate change?

Of course, more energy than you’ll get back from burning it.

I’d be for nuclear to create hydrogen as an energy storage system. Then use it to power vehicles and produce clean drinking water as a byproduct....better than lithium batteries.

Nobody asks where all the H comes from.

I think Canada’s Trudeau is building wind-farms to produce Hydrogen that he’ll ship to Europe hoping they’ll buy it ,LOL Wait what do the ships run on and how mush is the shipping ?

We better start opening up lots of hydrogen mines. Lots of tough questions:
* How long does it take to open a hydrogen mine?
* How long is the permitting process for a hydrogen mine?
* Are hydrogen mines capital intensive?

Insanity. The climate change crisis fraud may be the end of Western civilization.

If they get this working in mass production and countries start depending on it, the left will figure out why it's "bad" for the environment. There is never any satisfying them.

For example, it wasn't too long ago (the Obama years) that the left was saying we all should switch to "clean burning" natural gas. Now they're trying to ban nat. gas, even after they forced many power utilities to switch from coal fired power plants to natural gas fueled power plants.

Likewise with the left's love/hate relationship with nuclear. The left will do the same with hydrogen if it ever gets traction.

Toyota has given up on Hydrogen cars for now because there’s no infrastructure and the people that have the cars are screwed

Before we installed solar, my wife asked me if a nearby streetlight would give us a wee bit of power at night. The answer is no. Most of the solar radiation converted to power is from invisible light, not the visible light produced by street lights.

We’ll need a lot of little Black kids to catch all that hydrogen.

“…the left will figure out why it’s “bad” for the environment.”

This is very easy to see coming. It is extremely hard to avoid hydrogen leaks because It is the smallest of all molecules and leaks through seals like crazy. As seals wear, it gets worse. They will discover that letting billions of tons of hydrogen leak into the atmosphere is very bad for the environment and we must transition off hydrogen.

I think the ships run on wood pellet boilers. They only cut the trees down with hand axes and pull stroke saws.

The ships follow the Gulf Stream from the St. Lawrence back to Scotland and the UK.
