'Green' clean hydrogen, produced by way of electrolysis, is being studied to determine if it can be produced efficiently and cost effectively. There's billions being invested into the technology by private companies and investors. Yet there are those who are against any efforts to even study improving the technology through innovation and advancement.Making hydrogen via electrolysis is one of the worst energy intensive ways to produce fuel. It takes a lot of electrical energy to produce hydrogen via electrolysis, like 3 times more electrical energy to produce then the amount you would get by burning hydrogen. Each time you convert energy from one source to another there is energy lost, you never get 100% out (Laws of Thermodynamics). It can be greenhouse neutral if non carbon sources are used to produce it (like solar panels). It costs more then other energy to produce. It is still at least a decade away before this can be viable at a low cost (without any government subsidies) to make it viable. This is the kinds of things I am talking about, technology is the way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, not more taxes.
