Someone needs to give Barnard a reality check. His own ideas are total fantasies, either decades away from being viable or are still dependent on fossil fuels. Hydrogen is the only real path for green steel at the moment.

That's the same accusation made against all electrification. That the grid was mostly powered by fossil fuels, and therefore they are all secretly pro-fossil fuels.

But that's missing the point. Ultimately, this is a concern trolling argument. It's the worse bad-faith argument of them all.

Hydrogen is the complete solution. It's the other people who are either unserious or worse. The more you read about how many industries require fossil fuels, the more ridiculous the pro-battery people sound. They are either clueless or don't actually care to solve climate change.

You're wrong on both counts. You use pipelines, which deliveries energy more effectively than wires. And you can make hydrogen at home. In fact, it is probably more straight-forward than charging batteries once you factor the supply chain for batteries.

It is easier to move hydrogen around than electricity. If you have a system of refueling stations, you can refuel basically all vehicles. And don't have to wait either. Batteries will require multiple standards, especially for large vehicles. Even more if you want battery swapping.

They have lower energy density. So we will need more of them to reach the same range. Since you still need fossil fuels to make batteries, you risk making the problem worse not better.

We should not assume miracle batteries will be a thing. We should look at complete solutions.

Battery-powered cars are too resource intensive to be a viable solution. Battery swapping even more so. We will end up with either hydrogen or e-fuel cars because of that.

I don't bother to watch climate change denial propaganda. Again, unless he is arguing hydrogen boilers are literally impossible, it's not worth anyone's time.

Solar has become an extremely cheap form of green energy, and is being adopted on a wide scale. It is not a niche, it is likely going to be most common form of green energy in the future. Green hydrogen can easily be the same for energy storage.

Hypx @hypx.bsky.social · 5h

Unless he is arguing that hydrogen boilers are literally impossible, this is just being a stooge for the fossil fuel industry. And it is entirely about one specific use case too. Hydrogen can be used in a wide number of industries.

When it is just concern trolling, there is no basis for criticism.

All that matters is that it is green and it works. And green hydrogen meets that criteria. Trying to still undermine it while acknowledging that is just climate change denial.

And solar is "inefficient" compared to wind or hydropower. But that doesn't stop it from existing.

This is in reality just a troll argument. It does not actually mean anything.

Like I said, it is similar to the same accusation made against solar power. It is not a meaningful argument at all. As long as it is green and replaces the fossil fuel equivalent, there is very little justification for criticism.

The accusation that green hydrogen is "inefficient" is very similar to the same accusation made about solar power. It is not a particular relevant argument.

They are making hydrogen fuel for cars. It's already a thing. Once it is cheaper than gasoline/diesel, that will be the end of fossil fuels in cars.
