Gas turbine runs on 100% pure hydrogen. The skeptics are constantly complaining about how the wind and solar renewables “will never” be able to give the grid dispatchable power. Well, as long as gas turbines can run on hydrogen, they can still be used as generation as long as they burn green hydrogen. However there

This opinion article exposes the bad business practices that utilities are guilty of. The electric utilities abuse the ratepayers by passing on their disinformation and bad decisions in the form of increased electricity costs. https://www.utilitydive.com/news/unused-and-useless-states-must-act-to-end-flawed-natural-gas-power-plant-b/616899/
Engineering with Rosie dives into the VALCOE – value adjusted levelized cost of energy. This is adjusted for time of use – most solar is available only during daylight hours. https://youtu.be/6_BGHy4sfMs She uses a car race analogy to compare the solar, onshore wind, coal and gas. Solar and wind win the race. One thing I
