Coal isn't the cheapest power anymore. Your information is out of date [1]. Electrolysis or solar hydrogen production still isn't even here, much less cheaper

Coal isn't the cheapest power anymore. Your information is out of date [1]. Electrolysis or solar hydrogen production still isn't even here, much less cheaper than fracking.

- dragontamer 5y agoForward looking statements are no different than a $39,900 Cybertruck. They're correct as far as my discussion point is concerned. A possibility of the future, the benefits of being forward looking. It may not exist, but the point of the statement is to be parity with Elon Musk's discussion style. Not to be on parity with the actual truth. That's the problem: Mr. Musk imagines the future and his discussions are apparently fine. But snap back to reality and suddenly everyone else (who is working on realistic numbers) is wrong. ----- Electrolysis could exist, and it could be cheap. Much like how a $39000 Cybertruck could exist in enough numbers to warrant customers putting down reservation money on it. Its the name of the game and you know it if you've followed how this discussion evolves. Yes, I feel icky using that kind of logic but its necessary in this age.
