  I mean, yeah, but also, that’s not really efficient or effective for burning.

    Neither is hydrogen.

      I’m not disagreeing, but if the energy is surplus, might as well make hydrogen, at least we don’t end up with pollution.

        Oh certainly. Power storage is a real problem, especially with up-down renewables. I just didn’t understand why you were saying oil can’t be produced but hydrogen can. Synthesizing oil for power storage is a terrible idea 😄

        arguably, compressing natural gas into LNG is fucking stupid, but apparently the market rates work out, so it’s economically viable. And here we are compressing a gas into a liquid just to ship it over the ocean lol.

        market economies are just funny.
