@gskomedal go on..
@euronion Don't feel bad... that's how you become depressed with cynicism.

@euronion
Well... they are Elected Politicians who are trolling like teenagers because it gives them attention.

The law appears to have no teeth and be based on extremely stupid logic.

Is there a way to use my basement in cooling my house?
@davidhsu those land use issues are policy, unfortunately... and if land use policy has stopped wind generation because of 'noise' and even made Berkely reject students... I wonder what "fantastic" things we will see oppose fusion.

@justinmikulka
I think production will make impressive advances, but is there enough demand for green hydrogen to get a premium price over dirty hydrogen? Is there infrastructure to take advantage of arbitrage? In the near future (~5 years) IMO no.

We are kind of comparing Production Cost (in your first post) vs Market Price (in mine). The recent investments, I think, will reduce the marginal cost to produce enough to compete openly in the market. BUT there won't be a significant premium.

@justinmikulka yes, but Salt Caverns are not easily repeatable projects (at least that is my understanding)

They will be part of the solution, but will most likely be a case by case. Which, I guess, we could probably say about everything.

@janrosenow

Everyone mocked my keeping old nissan leaf... now who is laughing for the first 50 miles.

@justinmikulka I get steel. But storage (also lifecycle efficiency) is critical for LDES?

It has been really hard to store H2. (in a way that can be easily repeatable) LDES may end up being case by case with hydrogen.

@justinmikulka I agree Green hydrogen prices will drop faster than people think... because supply will outstrip demand.
