Heating homes with hydrogen is bad for both your wallet and the planet

A review of studies looking at heating homes with hydrogen has found that high cost and poor energy efficiency means the gas isn't a viable

Hydrogen, often touted as a green alternative to heating buildings with natural gas or other fossils fuels, is unlikely to play a significant role in decarbonising homes, a review of international studies has found.

That is bad news for governments, including the UK, that are hoping to use hydrogen as a simple substitute for existing gas boilers. “I think hydrogen is ultimately the silver bullet,” Jacob Rees-Mogg, the UK’s newly-appointed energy minister told the House of Commons on 23 September. “We create it from renewable sources… we use it as an effective battery and it can then, with some adjustments, be piped through to people’s houses to heat them during the winter.”

The review by Jan Rosenow at the Regulatory Assistance Project, a non-governmental organisation, looked at 32 studies from the UK, European Union, California and São Paulo in Brazil. Overall, they show that hydrogen is “less economic, less efficient, more resource intensive and associated with larger environmental impacts”, writes Rosenow.

I am very done with summer, and while I do appreciate we have AC in the bedroom now, I dearly wish we had central air.

Even if you buy his idea that you could separate the catastrophic failure parts from the passengers, why wouldn't they just jettison the engines and keep everything else? Why get rid of, for example, the aerodynamic lifting power of the wings? Why do the pilots have to die?

Also, if this guy is an aviation engineer, why do the animation proof of concepts not have the plane shell not go way upwards as soon as the bulk of the weight is removed from the wings+engines?
