Is it less than using fossil fuels for power exclusively? If so then it's a step in the right direction. Yes I know it sounds like I'm shilling for BP now but we get lost in the doom spiral so fast we forget we are indeed making progress. We just have to keep their feet to the fire or...erm... solar panel?

I can't even come close to imagining her medical bills, can you?

I haven't heard about this. Can you elaborate on what happened?

Yeah, but then it combines with stuff and is no longer hydrogen. For example, a lot of it on earth is bound with oxygen in a from known as dihydrogen monoxide. You can input energy to separate the two hydrogen from the oxygen, but it's not freely available. This is a useful way to spend excess energy to store the energy for later or to move, but not if you don't have excess clean energy.

You can also get some from things like Methane (CH4, aka natural gas). This is how most of the gas companies are producing it, and it obviously isn't clean. They like to pretend it's clean by saying using the hydrogen just produces water, but obviously the hydrogen didn't just appear.

Some is also produced by the decay of heavy elements (helium too)

This is it

Where do you think we are?

This is your stop, you can disembark the maglev! 😁

That's the ideal case, but in practice much of it is directly derived from natural gas instead of electrolysis

In 2022 less than 1% of hydrogen production was low-carbon.[1] Fossil fuels are the dominant source of hydrogen, for example by steam reforming of natural gas.[2]

Hah! It's amazing how many people are still hanging onto the delusion that hydrogen is made from renewables when almost every ounce of commercial hydrogen fuel is made by cracking petroleum products.

Exactly. Hydrogen can be produced easily with all the green energy produced during off peak that is otherwise wasted.
