This is one that really makes my day. This “”Advanced Clean Energy Storage Project in Delta, Utah…”” is important for us in Southern California. Right now there is a coal power plant in Delta, UT and it provides electricity to Nevada and So. California. Soon they will shut it down and the Intermountain DC Intertie

China’s green hydrogen message spells bad news for Russia. Quote: << Green hydrogen made no sense as commercial venture back when the cost of wind and solar power was sky-high. As those costs have come down, the green hydrogen market has exploded, and for good reason. Hydrogen is already part and parcel of the modern

Comment on Tesla small shareholders The amount of hydrogen needed to power anything doesn’t matter. The renewables are intermittent so the solar and wind rated capacity has to be 3 to 4 times the peak load. Thus there is going to be too much renewables electricity for much of the time. At the present, that

World’s largest electrolyzer plant is under construction in Queensland, Australia. It will be a huge green energy manufacturing center: solar panels, wind turbines, batteries, etc. Eventually use 200 GW – yes, GW! Export green hydrogen made by electrolyzers from Plug Power. https://cleantechnica.com/2022/03/11/worlds-largest-electrolyzer-plant-now-under-construction/
World’s largest green hydrogen plant planned to open in Duval County, So. Texas in 2026. It will be powered by 60 GW of renewable energy and store the hydrogen in underground salt caverns in Piedras Pintas. https://www.inceptivemind.com/ghi-worlds-largest-green-hydrogen-plant-south-texas/23583/
The Biden administration’s Energy Department is launching a $9.5 Billion initiative to decarbonize the industrial sector and build green hydrogen. https://www.utilitydive.com/news/biden-launches-initiatives-decarbonize-industrial-sector-hydrogen/618928/ Another article about this and hydrogen. https://www.renewableenergyworld.com/hydrogen/new-report-highlights-key-challenges-ahead-for-clean-hydrogen/
This 4 day new LTT video about hydrogen EVs has a much more impartial view of hydrogen EVs. Elon calls hydrogen “… a staggeringly dumb form of energy storage…” But if you compare it to ICEVs, it’s nowhere near as bad. And right now, most vehicles are ICEVs using even more inefficient gasoline. Elon should

This hydrogen electrolyzer produces about 1 kg a day. They also have systems for utility scale. https://www.enapter.com/aem-electrolyser
From a reply in FB group TSLA… Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles will be very common once the electric grids are powered predominantly by renewables. The price of hydrogen will conform to Wright’s Law and be so cheap that it will be competitive with BEVs. And due to the electric grid powering what is now still
