Why Hydrogen as Energy Storage is Dumb

Hydrogen as "The Answer" to how to fix the problems with wind and solar is not the answer you think it is. Germany, the US, and the UK are all investing in the hydrogen, but there is a small problem.

The Hydrogen economy is basically an expensive way to apologize for the continued use of fossil fuels.

If you build a hydrogen power generating plant, that just happens to run on natural gas until you get your hydrogen supply sorted out, you can claim you doing Green Energy™.

This is the Sabine Hossenfelder's video “The most dumb thing" for energy storage: Hydrogen. The video is about 8 minutes long.
