    Quote from: K-Dog on Apr 27, 2024, 10:42 AMWhere are you going to get the hydrogen.


    The idea is to source it all by hydrolyzing water utilizing electricity sourced from Wind, Hydro yadda yadda.  Of course as of right now, only about 5% of hydrogen is sourced that way, it's currently too expensive.  The projection is that as more renewables are built, the cost of this electricity will drop and the carbon free hydrogen will be competitively priced.  Given they probably can't hook up all the Solar farms to the grid, they might as well use the juice to make hydrogen.
