In short, the death of Moore's Law is about the end of economic scaling of transistors. Packing more transistors on a chip does not save you money like it use to. This contradicts the point of Moore's Law.
Because electrification has become a panacea to policy-makers. A magic cure-all solution to all emission problems. So we decided that we will let electricity demand run amok, with no coordinated plan to keep power usage in check. In reality, ideas like reducing power demand and limiting electricity usage will be necessary, even if it direct contradicts previous policies. Ultimately, this is another heavy industry, and making it green is going to be extremely hard. Doubly-so, if you are planning to absolutely explode power consumption.
Sooner or later, something will give. Either we admit that we have to spend many trillions of dollars to upgrade the grid, or realize that electrification isn't the magic solution everyone thought it was. Heck, maybe even admit that some "green policies" were actually just corporate marketing from certain companies that benefit from electrification. You could even go as far as calling it greenwashing.
Developed by CRRC Changchun Railway Co., China's first home grown hydrogen energy urban train successfully completed its test run on a trial line at a speed of 160 kilometers per hour in Changchun, northeast China's Jilin Province on Thursday.
Germany aims to designate an ambitious green hydrogen project in Namibia as strategically significant, paving the way for additional financial support and bringing a plan that could transform the economy of the African nation closer to reality.
Advancement in technology and economies of scale will ensure it will be very cheap in the long-run. People who doubt this are just repeating the same arguments used against renewable energy in general. We were told many times that it was "impossible" for wind and solar to be cost effective, until they did.
Making renewable energy reliable will require hydrogen as an energy storage mechanism. Except for a few special cases, 100% renewable grids are impossible without it.
They all basically require hydrogen. E-fuels or green ammonia all require water electrolysis. Attempts at alternatives inevitable up trying to make crazy ideas work, like burning sodium or boron or whatever. Those ideas are pretty much all nonstarters.
You’re just proposing gravitational energy storage. This is many orders of magnitude smaller than what is doable with chemical energy storage systems. Frankly, you are trolling now.
Green hydrogen is made via electrolysis using renewable energy. You're simply repeating the same language of the oil and gas industry by suggest new green technologies are just fantasies.
It's actually the cheapest at what it does. Like I said, you are basically repeating the language of fossil fuel companies. It is tragic that certain "pro-green" groups have basically chosen to oppose green energy because they have already made up their minds about what green technology can be.
You can store hydrogen underground at a tiny fraction of the cost of any other type of energy storage. All you are demonstrating is your incredible ignorance of the topic. Like I said, you are stuck in the past and are repeating obsolete "facts," mainly because you have already decide what green energy could ever be.
