    There’s really nothing wrong with generating hydrogen when power costs are negative.

    Except that only happens like 500 hours a year.

    And hydrogen will leak from any tank.

    And it turns metal brittle.

    And I wouldn’t trust my neighbor with a propane tank, let alone hydrogen.

    And its nearly impossible to transport through existing infrastructure.

    But other than that, its great!

      Most of your claims are just climate change denial arguments. Many of them were directly made up by the fossil fuel industry.

      You forgot about the part where the possibility of generating hydrogen cleanly from electricity later is used as an excuse to build infrastructure and fuel-cell cars for it now, even though hydrogen now is dirty hydrogen produced by cracking fossil fuels.

      I have no confidence that the second phase of switching to electrolysis would actually happen, and that “the hydrogen economy” isn’t just a greenwashing scam perpetrated by natural gas producers.
