    The point is that, until electrolysis is cheaper than using natural gas, it will continue to be made with natural gas.

        That’s really lucky for fossil fuel companies who will be making bank on hydrogen, and stalling any research or innovation in green hydrogen. You act like there are no major players making tons of money from hydrogen already, who don’t want electrolysis to gain any ground against the status quo which is making them filthy rich

            Have you heard of regulatory capture? What makes you think we’ll regulate hydrogen, when we’re not regulating fossil fuels, which is why we’re in this mess in the first place? The first thing these companies are going to do is say that we need to be deregulated to fight climate change.

                Very well said. 100% agreed. We can’t let perfection be the enemy of good progress. This is absolutely necessary work and a good demonstration that hydrogen fuel is viable.

                bogymen in the fossil fuel industry? You absolute fucking moron, THEY ARE THE BAD GUYS. the fuck are you talkin about bogeymen? Is the fossil fuel industry not culpable then? Fuck off, you’re not serious.

                    I’m not saying to give up on stopping climate change. don’t put words in my mouth. I’m calling out hydrogen propaganda as being part of the fossil fuel industry’s attempt to keep us using fossil fuels as opposed to making progress without using fossil fuels. You’re saying we need to use fossil fuels to stop climate change. Fuck right off dude, you’re not serious, if anything you’re a shill for the fossil fuel industry. Whether you’re aware of it or not

        nice false equivalency. And I’m not prescribing anything, I’m describing what is currently happening, and that it will continue to happen until electrolysis is more profitable than natural gas.
