Absurd assumptions.

The latest IJHE paper shows a round trip
electricity--->hydrogen---->electricity net exergy of 13 percent, a
figure which almost certainly is a ludicrously high overestimation.

That figure is before fully burdened amortization.

There ALWAYS will be more intelligent things to do with electricity than
destroying its value in a hydrogen fantasy.
