#44 - Blowing Up Hydrogen - Part 2
<p>H2, what is it good for? After calling out the scam-artists and greenwashers and setting a match to just about every hydrogen project on the planet based on the sky-high energy-input requirements and appalling economics, we’re putting on our nice guy hats to look at where that fab little molecule makes sense. But you know us: fun is our name and irreverence is our game, so of course we also rake over a few more pet H2 projects sponsored by Big Gas before offering some gratuitous and entirety unsolicited advice to our good friends at Toyota! <br/><br/>And if you're looking for Bruce’s calculations referenced in the episode, you’ll find them in <a href='https://www.brucemccabe.com/futurebites/hydrogen-is-a-smaller-part-of-our-future'>this article</a>. And his interview with Michael Barnard on hydrogen and our energy future can be found <a href='https://www.brucemccabe.com/futurebites/future-of-energy-with-michael-barnard'>here</a>. </p><p>And for the record, when we're doing real work and not podcasting, you'll find Dr Bruce, The Global Futurist presenting <a href='https://www.brucemccabe.com/'>here </a>and PJ applying his digital marketing genius <a href='https://www.alexim.com.au/'>here</a>.
