And this involves only driving in summer when there is excess energy? Or getting through winter by storing enough hydrogen to make the Beirut explosion look like a firecracker in comparison?
That’s funny, but modern solar panel power plants don’t care that it’s winter. The panels rotate and an arid area isn’t getting that much more cloud cover.
That sounds fun. Not only are we already losing ton of energy to create the hydrogen, we can now lose even more and make it more expensive by trying to liquefy/compress it to make it somewhat transportable. [1]
Also, almost 90% of humans living in the northen hemisphere will surely not cause any issues to this plan. [2]

The article says the ones it talks about do. Also, rotating panels can’t stop days from being shorter in winter.
I’m not saying it’s not lower. I’m saying it’s not nearly as big of a deal as people say it is.
So what are you saying exactly? With what issue would using hydrogen help?
Night? Longer periods of cloudy days or storms?
So we are not using it for cars, but to make electricity at night? Just even less efficiently than hydro pumped power? Ok…
Just ship the hydrogen to the other hemisphere.

🤣
You’re not LOSING anything if it’s capturing already excess energy, which would by its nature be lost if not used at the time of generation
