    Local hydrogen stations will probably use above-ground tanks.

    Hydrogen pipelines are 10x cheaper than wires. It’s not some inconceivably huge cost.

    It should be added that environmentalist have been screaming for massive investment in green energy, and that cost is of secondary importance. We shouldn’t suddenly become hard-right conservatives here. As long as costs are reasonable, it is fine.

      Wasting 2/3 of the energy we generate by turning it into hydrogen and back isn’t a green solution. It means we need to triple our electricity generation and keep coal and gas plants running for a lot longer.

        Funny how the 20% efficiency of photovoltaic panels never bothered you.
