Reply to comment by gerkletoss in Solar powered hydrogen facility being built in California by ForHidingSquirrels

Solar uses less land than coal extraction or the largest uranium mines per unit power. There is no choice with lower impact.

If you look back three comments you'll see that I wasn't comparing to any of those.

>There is no choice with lower impact.

For many applications there are. For instance, it's better to run my blender off the grid than to use solar hydrogen.

No. You were repeating fossil fuel propaganda unrelated to the issue at hand.

They use real concerns in their propaganda because it's effective

But you'll note that I only mentioned carbon-neutral alternative technologies here, which terrifies the fossil fuel industry. Or maybe not. My hopes aren't high.

Except it's not a real concern when its less bad than any other option. By all means push for less land use, but pick the low hanging fruit first.

The other carbon-neutral options are what I was talking about you reactionary hero

You continue to dog whistle gas with carbon capture (which is fictional) whilst not being brave enough to say it out loud.

Yes, carbon capture is on the list of things I didn't say.

Which continues to be fossil fuel propaganda.

Fossil fuel propaganda would be accusing everyone who asks questions about hydrogen generation compared to other carbon-neutral technologies of being shills regardless of whether they're suggesting that it's probably great for certain applications in other contexts and were doing so before you made your accusation.

You're attacking solar derived energy and dog whistling fossil fuel hydrogen. The motivation is obvious. This 'just asking questions' act fools nobody.
