From Death Stars to Warp Drives: Debunking Hydrogen’s Techno-Utopia

Credit to Author: Michael Barnard| Date: Sun, 16 Mar 2025 06:02:25 +0000

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]

Debunking The Myth: Today’s Industrial Use of Hydrogen Doesn’t Mean It’s A Good Energy Carrier

Credit to Author: Michael Barnard| Date: Sat, 15 Mar 2025 20:39:31 +0000

Advocates of hydrogen often misleadingly point to its widespread industrial use today as evidence of its potential as a broad energy carrier. This, however, is a clear example of the equivocation fallacy: the term “hydrogen use” is subtly shifted from its real-world role in industry to suggest a broader, more … [continued]

Geothermal Is Having A Moment In The Sun, But Black Swans Are Casting Shade

Credit to Author: Michael Barnard| Date: Sat, 15 Mar 2025 20:29:34 +0000

For several years now, people have been asking me about enhanced or deep geothermal energy. I’ve fielded questions from readers, investors, policymakers, and fellow analysts, and it’s clear there’s renewed enthusiasm for geothermal’s potential role in our energy future. It’s time I delved into this topic comprehensively, and this article … [continued]
