Debunking The Myth: Hydrogen’s High Energy Density By Mass Is Trumped By Low Density By Volume
Hydrogen is often cited for its high energy density by mass — approximately 120 MJ/kg — making it appear to be an ideal energy carrier. However, this figure is frequently misunderstood or presented out of context, leading to misleading conclusions about hydrogen’s suitability for real-world energy storage and transportation. The … [continued]

Simon Michaux’s Purple Delusion: The Pseudoscience of Doom
Simon Michaux has built a reputation on painting an apocalyptic vision of the energy transition, but his work consistently collapses under scrutiny. I’ve personally taken apart his comically bad lithium supply projections and his metal demand doomsday scenarios, and each time, the pattern is the same — wild extrapolations that … [continued]

Debunking The Myth: Hydrogen Is Not A Zero Emissions Fuel
The idea that hydrogen is a “zero-emissions” energy source is one of those claims that sounds great in a press release but crumbles under scrutiny. Sure, when you burn hydrogen or use it in a fuel cell, there’s no CO₂ spewing out the tailpipe. That much is true. But this … [continued]

Debunking The Myth: Today’s Industrial Use of Hydrogen Doesn’t Mean It’s A Good Energy Carrier
Advocates of hydrogen often misleadingly point to its widespread industrial use today as evidence of its potential as a broad energy carrier. This, however, is a clear example of the equivocation fallacy: the term “hydrogen use” is subtly shifted from its real-world role in industry to suggest a broader, more … [continued]

Debunking The Myth: Electrolyzing Hydrogen For Energy Is Wasteful & Higher Emissions
As the world races toward a decarbonized future, hydrogen is often touted as a clean energy carrier, with proponents highlighting electrolysis as a viable method for its production. The process, which uses electricity to split water into hydrogen and oxygen, can indeed be powered by renewable energy sources, making it … [continued]
