In discussions about clean Hydrogen, there is a popular idea floating around, particularly in countries like Germany or Japan that import large parts of their current fossil fuel energy. Instead of importing fossil fuels, the story goes, we will import large quantities of Hydrogen in the future from places where wind and sun are plentiful, and therefore, renewable energy is cheap. The problem with this idea is that Hydrogen is really difficult to transport.
Solar collectors on half of the worlds roofs is more energy than is used today ALL SOURCES oil, nuke, wind, sun, geothermal.
Over and over the Oil industry, not just Exxon, produces lies and rumours.
One Top Lie and Rumour is "we-need-a-new-solution" to get clean energy. In news, all over our movies, they pretend there is a need for "a solution"
The solution is: End the blocks preventing the deployment of solar and wind.
Just Build It NOW!

The article states that half of the world's rooftops could generate all of the current *electricity* needs of the world (doesn't mention the other forms of direct energy usage). Nevertheless, it points to the real problem: energy storage. That's the problem they try to solve with hydrogen, which I also don't think is a good solution. But I'm not a scientist or engineer.
The Canadian side of Niagara Falls is a source of electricity for Canada and the US, it is also a massive battery, holding vast amounts of water, ready to produce power if needed.
EVs dont last as long as their batteries do, and EV battery recycling is already a very successful, into utility grade storage.
