That's a pretty daft conclusion, because JCB has been making Hydrogen machinery for quite some time now and power made for all the equipment on site can also easily be made with hydrogen.
Great. Is hydrogen powered construction and mining equipment common? No. So until it is, my statement stands. Concluding that all equipment is clean because it CAN be is daft.
It's expected to be the cheapest form of electricity soon. It's in the ballpark of natural gas pricing now and prices are falling fast.. while natural gas prices are rising. The long term future has it cheaper than anything except solar/wind... but those two can't easily be stored to be consumed later which is a big logistical win for hydrogen.
So no, it's not common right now. But that's changing. Hydrogen is arguably the most promising area of our efforts to mitigate climate change.
Wait, hydrogen? After SWB, you mean.
