    This is what I meant https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/global-primary-energy

    Hydrogen from water electrolysis needs massive (look at world gas demand for scale) excess renewable electricity production and support infrastructure which isn’t there nor are there credible buildout and financing plans for it. Even if it would happen it would cause demand destruction due to its high price.

    This isn’t an argument against doing it. It’s just about the status quo and mid-term future.
