Right, this is why France had to shut down half of its nuclear power plants because of low water levels in the rivers due to the recent heat wave and urgently needed maintenance (still ongoing). Germany was/is doing the back up power for France and has been/is forwarding six times more electricity to France as normally. The French are heating with electricity as well. If the droughts go on in the coming spring/summer season, the same problems with "cooling the reactors" will pop up again. Wind and sun is available... Just saying 😉

Hydrogen is needed as well as raw material for proceeding things like steel, glass, paper, cement, plastic, tyres, cosmetics, medication and lots of other things all of us are using daily . Just saying... Add on: remember, while the lock downs a couple of years ago (traveling by plane was down to the level of 1951 etc) so many experts/people were saying: ah, this might change the world for good, reducing our consumption of energy etc, lock downs were gone and the people went crazy "doing even more things/journeys etc" then before the lock downs. What I mean is: do you really believe, that people are willing! to reduce their energy consumption by changing massivly their life style, youngsters included?! Edit typo/autocorrect

Hydrogen goes perfect for "heavy vehicles, planes, trains, trucks, ships", not though for cars, there the e-cars are better. Please look up for those "projects (not new): the "green hydrogen coast line", which is a project run by the Netherlands, Denmark and Germany, Fraunhofer Institute Bremerhaven is involved as well, all subsidiesed by the EU and Gvts. Electrolyseurs are under construction everywhere. Some months ago the world wide first hydrogen powered trains (Alston) started their service in Lower Saxony/ Germany, Daimler trucks has developed trucks running on hydrogen, the Faun Group have developed hydrogen powered trucks as well, those trucks are already in use. Lots of start ups are working on alternative storage possibilities as well. It's on the way ... The EU27 will replace all fossil fuels (oil, coal, nat gas) with green hydrogen, the goal is focused on 2030-2045, this project had started long before the war in Ukraine started. This terrible war has actually "boost" the progress towards going green....

@grahamstevenson1740 Exactly. Please look up for the "green hydrogen coast line", which is a project by the Netherlands, Denmark and Germany, all subsidiesed by the EU and Gvts.

It's on the way 😉

The recently build LNG terminals in Germany are convertable to hydrogen...

WRONG. The EU27/Germany will replace all fossil fuels (oil, coal, nat gas) with green hydrogen, the goal is focused on 2030-2045. This was already on the way long before Ukraine war started. The EU27 has put up huge ammounts of subsidies including all EU27 member states... It's on the way, this terrible war has even "boostet/speeding up" the progress towards "going green". Greetings from the EU27

We are already working on that issue since some time. Please look up for the " green hydrogen coast line", a project of the Netherlands, Denmark and Germany. May be you knew already about that one? Have a nice day with greetings to the Netherlands from Germany 😉

It has to go parallel, going green in Germany as well as getting green hydrogen/Ammoniac from Namibia and the other 9 countries Germany has the same deal with. Greetings from the Waterkant 😉

@grahamstevenson1740 And partly from the mountains.

@grahamstevenson1740 Hydrogen can also be used as storage battery for the overloads from the offshore windmills and others.
