  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 😄

        Same for hydrogen really.

      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.
