  Those are outright lies. For one thing, you can use fuel cells instead of gas turbines, getting rid of NOx emissions entirely (not to mention you can filter out NOx even with gas turbines).

  Sorry, but this conversation cannot continue if you proceed with dishonest arguments.

  If you adopt hydrogen for energy storage, you no longer have to worry about “where.” You have a solution that is nearly geographically independent.

  The more renewable energy you have, the more you need long-duration energy storage. You cannot reach 100% renewable energy without huge amounts of it.

  For a few hours, yes, but that will make up a small percentage of total energy stored. To really solve the intermittency problem, you will need large scale energy storage.

  just use excess electricity to make hydrogen. This actually solves the intermittency problem, among many other things that will require hydrogen in order to reach zero emissions.

  This is mostly due to an AI boom. It will collapse once that goes bust.

  Thry should make green hydrogen instead, if they cannot get their solar farm connected to the grid.

  It will be cheaper than fossil fuels at some point in the future. The benefit or not being a finite resource. We can speed this process up if we scale up sooner rather than later.

  The easy solution is to just make green hydrogen. It’s an already solved problem, lacking only political will.
