It’s miraculous how the gas industry succeeded where clean coal failed.

There will be no green hydrogen. It’s a veneer. That the same folks building LNG terminals are pushing hydrogen isn’t a coïncidence. Even if we get a green hydrogen economy, there will constantly be an incentive to adulterate the supply.

Unless we can tap into some sort of "too cheap to meter but too hard to transport" energy source in the future.

> From what I’ve read, liquid hydrogen isn’t a great option due to the energy required to create it. Where does that energy come from?

and to get the cheapest energy, not the cheapest hydrogen, today one would surely consider solar.

Having said that, hydrogen could be interested as more ecology friendly fuel, which may rule out the commercially cheapest, but not clean enough, options.
