    I don’t think you can actually back any of that up. Demand for hydrogen is negligible compared to demand for gasoline. I’m convinced there’s enough wasted green energy to produce enough green hydrogen to power every single electric car on the planet today that’s currently using shitty batteries.

      Current gobal hydrogen demand is in the region of a 100,000,000 metric tons per year. That is not too small a market to be worth creating green hydrogen, and the fact that green hydrogen cannot come close to meeting even that demand would seem to prove that more demand for hydrogen is not the problem. Indeed if too expensive for applications that actually need to use hydrogen, why would expanding applications that waste half of it like cars be at all helpfull?
