- DennisP 5y agoEfficiency of a production electrolysis plant today is about 80%, which really doesn't seem that bad. https://www.carboncommentary.com/blog/2017/7/5/hydrogen-made-by-the-electrolysis-of-water-is-now-cost-competitive-and-gives-us-another-building-block-for-the-low-carbon-economy https://www.carboncommentary.com/blog/2017/7/5/hydrogen-made...
- NoblePublius 5y agoOk cool now compress and store and transport it after you spend $10 trillion on the infrastructure to do that at planet scale. Or, send electricity into batteries over wires which already exist. Like, come on. You have to choose which energy innovator to back and you go with Tesla or the people pushing hydrogen (Shell, Exxon)?
