"Until we build a safe, reliable pipeline system for hydrogen"
Like the H2 pipeline system on the Gulf Coast?
Just ONE company - Air Products- has >600 miles of Hydrogen piping there for years
The new, 180-mile pipeline expands our Gulf Coast hydrogen supply network
to more than 600 miles, stretching from the Houston Ship Channel in Texas
to New Orleans, Louisiana

"WE" are more interested in shipping billions to
the most corrupt country in Europe and blowing up Gas Pipelines built by others than actually building anything in the US.
There are other pipelines too, working as you read this, while many many people spout the lie that "Hydrogen cannot be piped because of Embrittlement".

So according to some, I'm a "Hydrogen Bot". On a "discussion board" for Environment and Energy. What the fuck is the point of posting anymore, instead of info, these places are mostly about trying to insult and belittle those one disagrees with. Said as one who started reading DU about 2003 and posting under a few different name since around 2007.
Probably time to sit back and
watch China take over the H2 industry and laugh at the idiocy. Some of us were trying to alert the masses when China took over the Solar industry but DC's attention at that time was
occupying Syria - like "we" still do (FOR THE OIL), not on anything that would actually make life better.
With any luck I'll be an ex-pat soon.
And speaking of explosions
There has been a deliberate attempt to ignore (or worse) H2 here in the US - just as in the UK. Bets by "stakeholders" (ROFL) are on batteries. One day their disgraceful methods will be made public. Probably few will care though.
Plans to make the UK the 'Qatar of hydrogen' could be 'torpedoed by civil servants' who have 'made a bet' on clean electricity to provide the nation's energy in shift away from fossil fuels
But civil servants are said to be opposed to the Prime Minister's hydrogen plans
Whitehall said to have 'made a bet' on clean electricity at expense of hydrogen

What is the
current size of the hydrogen market?
The current market size of the hydrogen market is USD 243 billion in 2023. It's as if this fact was completely ignored.
