@Porcia @quixoticgeek Absolutely, the hole in the argument that 'we'll just pipe hydrogen to houses' is that no such pipe work exists. The natural gas piping is, from a hydrogen atom's point of view, full of holes.
This is why nobody is seriously thinking of hydrogen heating any more, except a few lobbyists.
@tony @Porcia @quixoticgeek Vacuum person here.
I in no way believe that hydrogen is the answer to energy demands, it's just a thing put up by the dying fossil fuels industry but we normally test for leaks with Helium. It's the smallest thing that's easy to detect for leaks. On paper, Hydrogen is smaller so could leak more but Hydrogen normally comes as H2 so the molecules are bigger than helium in its natural state.
And hydrogen embrittlement is definitely a thing. Hydrogen power is a scam
@antonia@zug.network@mw1cgg @tony @Porcia @quixoticgeek Isn't importing hydrogen from Africa in tankers currently the German government's strategy on how to get to 100% renewable?
@mw1cgg @tony @Porcia @quixoticgeek however, I think absolutely no one is thinking of piping hydrogen to households.
@quixoticgeek @mw1cgg @tony @Porcia well, that is the short-term strategy, the hydrogen is apparently the long-term strategy
