L4sBotLimitless ‘white’ hydrogen under our feet may soon shatter all energy assumptions
tiny_electronWhite hydrogen is still a non-renewable energy and exploiting it will lead to environmental pollution.
Moreover countries with more hydrogen will gain leverage in the political game just like OPEC has currently, which has only been problems for everyone because of the tensions surrounding oil demand.
Solar and wind on the other hand can be harvested pretty much everywhere, which will give autonomy to most country and thus balance geopolitics.
Tldr: white hydrogen should keep sleeping underground
a non-renewable energy and exploiting it will lead to environmental pollution.
But that is a ‘pollution’ with pure H2O.
GreyscaleIt doens’t come out the ground as pure hydrogen
Of course not. Like everything else that you dig out of the ground.
But if you burn it in combustion engines or fuel cells, it must be cleaned before. You don’t want to kill your engines.
Dark ArcThe point is the “other stuff” coming out of the ground is still very likely pollution.
