Reply to comment by eat_more_ovaltine in Exxon’s bad reputation got in the way of its industry-wide carbon capture proposal by Sorin61

Because we can use those renewable directly. Hydrogen only makes sense if there's energy abundance. We're in an energy crisis with no end if you haven't noticed.

What crysis? We have da and but not crysis. Hydrogen is energy carrier or you can say energy storage. We need it for making renewable energy always on demand. Hydrogen is one of the ways, not only solution.

yea, once we have energy abundance running directly off hydrogen or cups of water lmao. if we get actual fusion lots of stuff will change. Power efficiency won't be a care anymore for most electronics and many other things. Would be very interesting to see

Hydrogen should be looked at for high power applications like airplanes/rockets/cargo ships. If we have fusion I can definitely see a future in that.

That said it's wholly unrealistic to think about today. It's just not efficient or viable.

Yea there's better stuff to look at, like desalting ocean water with the abundance of extra solar energy during the day... but... it'll be a while until they give a shit about that. Can't wait for the ridiculous pipe from the mississippi to the west before they realize there's an ocean next to cali LOL. You know they're gonna do it

What about using the hydrogen for non energy reasons that electricity can’t replace?
