Michael, thanks for thinking about it. The issue then in your scenario would be us back to wondering how to provide backup, other than keep using toxic batteries. The advantages of a hydrogen fueled ecology are many, rapid fuelling capability of all vehicles, most vehicles also capable of producing drinking water as a by-product of their hydrogen consumption, solving the problems of drinkwater distribution we are seeing arise in many places, EVs are easily converted to hydrogen, given that as a single development task, same for internal combustion engined vehicles. If all of this is community driven, as it probably mostly has to be, to get the required solar capacity for all things, then we get to dismantle the grid also, freeeing up quite a lot of recyclable resources, like copper etc.

The main thing maintaining our unawareness of the benefits of this, seem to be corporate narratives, coming from energy companies, and banks, who really don't want folk to be in control of their own power, it seems to me.

But they blew it, their chance to handle it responsibly, I think, now they need to just let folk just get on with it on a community basis, I think.

If we are wondering where the funds will come from to drive this, watch what happens to inflation. It is a long story, but there is a solid reason that money will devalue, because we are not correctly valuing solar, which continues to scale up anyway. Stopping it would be like trying to stop the leaves growing on a tree, it seems to me.

Now, money has to be issued to reflect the nutrients in the tree, which all flow as a result of the solar energy received on the leaves, for free, no labor of extraction involved.
