Clean hydrogen is produced from reversible PEM fuel cell backups, which operate like batteries, supplying backup power to the load driven by a solar farm when the sun isn’t shining.
By day, they recharge whilst the load is present, but if the load is removed they generate clean hydrogen, continuously as long as the sun shines.
So there we are seeing sunlight fuelised.
With that, we can do everything we did with fossil fuels, including manufacturing more solar power infrastructure, with none of the pollution.
The reason things like this are not popular, or popularly known about, is that it upsets the applecart of money, and capital.
Free energy from sunlight has to be accompanied by the issue of free money, otherwise money is not truly representing the value of the energy received.
See the problem?
Free money means the end of all value in capital.
Why save, if we don’t have to?
That is why banks, and anyone invested in the current system are quite happy for you to carry on believing solar is not that great.
I find it helps to remember that the sun is the only real known source of energy.
If we can’t use it, we are done, so we have to seek out ways to use it, rather than look for excuses not to use it.
I’ve tried to explain this also to Will, in response to previous posts of his, on this subject but evidently he still doesn’t get it.
Personally I see two kinds of folk when it comes to answering the environmental question; those who get it, and those who don’t.
Blinded by profit, is how I think of those who don’t see the sun, shining down on us, literally burning us on the planet, because so far, we just don’t use it.
