But can they actually get to it? I don't think the EU needs white H2 to reduce gas consumption by more than 1% per year and if we're going to meet our global climate ambitions it really has to. Utility scale batteries (thermal and chemical) +renewables are going to be the gamechanger more than H2.
The precious 'white gold' fuel buried in the Earth
Naturally occurring "white hydrogen" lies in vast reservoirs beneath our feet – now the gold rush of the clean energy era is beginning.

"In its latest outlook, the International Energy Agency (IEA) forecasts total European Union gas demand to decline by just over 10% by 2035 due to greater use of electric heat pumps, higher energy efficiencies and more renewables output."
🚨 It's going to decline much faster than that.

It is a horror that so many Americans make choices every day about whether to heal themselves or get an exam when they feel ill because they don’t know if they can afford it. Even the insured never know when they’ll be hit with a surprise hospital facility fee or co-insurance bill. It’s disgraceful.

Interestingly, 12% of GDP is not far off from what is spent each year on the NHS in the U.K. (more like 10-11%). And the freedom of the public to live life without fear of catastrophic hospital bills is priceless.

For the skeptic in the room (who probably won’t read it), I’ll leave this most comprehensive and non-partisan study, which modeled 22 single-payer plans proposed over the past 30 years and found all of them would cost less over time than the horrible system we have now.

I’m considering Joe Lieberman a Republican along with the other dems who sold their souls to the health insurance industry. Meanwhile, the Republicans (though out of power) were grandstanding about “death panels” and the government in your doctor’s office.

The reason we got Obamacare is 100% because of private insurance company lobbyists and Republicans gaslighting about taxes. It had nothing to do with the actual total cost.

It is pointless to compare one small state program of 650k (older) people to the efficiencies that would be gained in an insurance pool of 350 million. If anything, the savings (agreed upon by every policy think tank) are probably conservative.

Why wouldn’t we want to save $10 trillion over the next decade while removing one of the largest anxieties from the public?
In our household are looking at a $400 per month *increase* in our premium next year and I have to say it is very stressful.

I’m increasingly of the opinion that there should be a coalition of fossil fuel net importing states. Let the U.S., Australia, and Canada do what they are going to do while the market for their products goes to zero.
I’m not at all saying it will be easy, but the nations calling for phase out of fossil fuels are in many cases fossil fuel importers. If they all decarbonize rapidly together the roadmap gets executed whether petroleum exporting counties like it or not.
