Reply to comment by Donttouchmybiscuits in Overhyping hydrogen as a fuel risks endangering net-zero goals by filosoful

Except that it is an "either/or" proposition. For an energy system to be feasible, there needs to be a focus on something. Either everyone uses the same technology or nobody does. Europe has thankfully realized this, so they're making a decisive move against fussil fuels in favor of wind and solar. That will be costly, but it is either that or sitting on the fossil needle until we're all screwed.

The planet is almost done for. There is no time or resourses left to spread out.

Reread my last comment, take the time to understand what I’m saying (emphatically NOT that fossil fuels have a part to play) and then explain to me how wind and solar can take the place of the current fossil fuel used in the furnaces to make steel - not as a fuel, but as an essential part of the process. Hydrogen is pretty much the only answer at this stage. It’s not an either/or, because neither does everything, that’s a ridiculous way to look at it.
