    The downvotes are because almost all of the global hydrogen production is made either with natural gas, as a byproduct of oil drilling or through coal.

    In its current state, it is a fake green product pushed by the oil industry to hamper the transition.

      Ah - that makes sense, thank you. You’re correct, but I work in the aerospace industry with hydrogen fuel cells and green hydrogen is all I’m familiar with, but I realize now that this was bias on my part.

      Is hydrolysis not cost-effective? If we have excess electricity, as in this case, can we not use that to get hydrogen?

      On the recent lemmy topic of using up votes and down votes incorrectly.

      Literally just stating a verifiable fact, not in support or against the technology, and I get down voted lol.
