To be clear: we’re going to use renewable hydrogen for some things, such as fertilizer manufacturing — there isn’t any other way to do them sustainably. There are applications for which it’s one of the most expensive choices, such as home heating, and a whole host of industrial processes and aviation sitting in between.
Billions are such smol numbers in such industries.
Not doing anything or even using the cash for fossil fuel subsidies is what would have been really
riskystupid.
