supersquirrelWhat's geologic hydrogen? What to know about the clean energy source buried under Michigan.
While it definitely looks promising to use hydrogen for the no-carbon benefits, you do still have to wonder about other environmental impacts. What’s going to happen to when the hydrogen pockets empty? Land subsidence could potentially be a problem, so I think more research about possible side effects is absolutely necessary before any large scale extractions happen.
Yup. Unfortunately under capitalism, it’ll be drill now, worry about the repercussions never.
spinnetroubleI have the same concerns over geothermal fracking right now. We’re only willing to find out how much we can disrupt the underlying rock by going too far a few times, deliberating over the acceptable death and damage toll, and then deciding to stop doing that whenever ~40% of the country agrees it’s time to stop.
