You still didn't explain how "build more" is not an option, which is, you know, the original claim that we're debating in this comment chain.

  But is it cheaper to build more electeolysis storage, and lots of overproduction in renewables? Well, until someone actually offers hydrogen storage commerically, there's no price. If it were cheap, we wouldn't be using steam reformation.

    So at least now you accept that it does scale and it's just a matter of cost. Glad we could reach an agreement.

      Maybe? So far titanium electrodes are the most promising solution, but titanium is a rather precious resource.

        Oh good grief. Titanium ore is literally dirt cheap. Titanium has been pricey because of how it's made from the ore, not because the ore is scarce. Titanium is the 9th most abundant element in the Earth's crust.

          The fact that it's scarce because it's so difficult and expensive to perform the chemical processes to isolate titanium doesn't chance the fact that it's scarce. Unless you have some novel way to drive down the cost titanium, building huge public projects using large amounts of titanium will remain infeasible.
