Pipelines To Nowhere: The Real Costs Of TMX & The Dutch Hydrogen Network
Infrastructure megaprojects have an irresistible allure, and the Netherlands and Canada are illustrative of this. Governments, engineers, and industrial backers alike see in them the potential for transformative leaps forward—massive pipelines to move energy, corridors connecting resources to markets, and infrastructure that promises to underpin entire industries or energy transitions. … [continued]

7 Projects Down In The Inevitable Death Of Hydrogen For Energy In B.C.
It was never going to work. The CBC’s March 2025 freedom of information exposé confirmed what engineers, analysts, and every mildly numerate policymaker should have known: British Columbia’s grand hydrogen production ambitions were built on sand. According to briefing documents to B.C.’s then energy minister in September of 2024, at … [continued]

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]

Debunking The Myth: Hydrogen Is Not The Future Of Energy
There’s a romantic allure to the idea that we can simply plug renewable energy into water and create an endless, emission-free fuel. But, sadly, no. The stark reality is that green hydrogen is burdened by inefficiency, exorbitant costs, and logistical nightmares that make widespread adoption a distant dream. This is … [continued]

From Death Stars to Warp Drives: Debunking Hydrogen’s Techno-Utopia
As someone who combines a lifelong passion for speculative fiction with rigorous expertise in energy systems and the analytical lens of an English literature student, I approach Erik Rakhou’s Touching Hydrogen Future (2022) and Jeremy Rifkin’s The Hydrogen Economy (2002) with both fascination and deep skepticism. Viewed through this dual … [continued]
