This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Hydrogen is too inefficient for homes, the better bet imo is a hard sell for induction cooktops. Hydrogen is just too hard to transfer (doesn't compress nicely), inefficient to produce, and there's going to be leakage issues.

It's much better to produce that hydrogen very close to where it'll be used. I'm imagining areas with lots of factories and whatnot producing hydrogen with excess solar and using it on site. The losses would be worth it because it's probably cheaper than batteries (esp considering time to charge batteries, runtime of equipment, etc).
