  It’s eco-conscious, not eco-friendly.

    Yeah, and even that’s stretching the term “conscious”.

    Since most of the hydrogen currently available commercially is from oil production, maybe “eco-greenwashing” would be more accurate.

      At least it doesn't pollute when it burns. Hydrogen is also a decent storage capacity when you have plenty of renewable energy to store. Which is happening, just look at Norway or Germany.

        It still emitted more carbon more to build than most people will emit in their lifetime, kinda like burning the house down but telling everyone its ok because you saved the shed.

        Yeah… Germany has so much renewable energy they’re bringing coal plants back online.

        Good guy Norway on the renewables though. Definitely not one of the largest crude oil exporters either.

      Well I’m sure its owners are conscious of the rest of humanity’s ecological needs, I’d go that far anyway :/
