2. A country that has to import electricity driving up prices all over the continent, has electricity to waste on hydrogen?

The Norwegian Energy Minister States It Bluntly: "It's an absolute shit situation."

The people who funded Putin and his wars by buying gas and oil from him?

The people who routinely demonstrate disgusting .levels of carbon intensity for electricity, a coal dependent hellhole?



Electricity Map, German Coal Dependent Hellhole.

Well, it's not at all surprising that people trying to rebrand fossil fuels as "hydrogen," are happy to produce slick videos supporting this unconscionable attack on the future of the planet.

It fits right in.

Of course, it's just a nonsense show, not worth the energy to build the plant, nor the energy wasted on generating the slick fossil fuel rebranding ad to describe it.

Anyone who understands how trivial at 54 MW plant of any kind on this planet understands how absurd this bullshit is. On this planet, in 2023, humanity consumed 642 Exajoules of energy. This translates to an average continuous power consumption of around 20 trillion Watts. 54 MW is thus, for people who can do math and thus don't buy into hydrogen bullshit, 2.6 billionths of World Energy demand.

The contempt for the environment rings through with every one of these slick fossil fuel rebranding ads trying to sell fossil fuels as "hydrogen." Every. Damned. One.

No sense of decency, none!
