Alberta as a Hydrogen Player?

I'm with the UCP on this one. I'm not all-in on the electric future and see hydrogen playing a major role as a fuel source for transportation, industrial, and military needs.

Yeah man. Just ask NKLA how that's going.

Yikes.

The brackets means it's working!

I meant the stock seems to be doing well.

It's fucking unbelievable!!
10x in five years. Something more than 3x in one year!

Right buzzword, wrong tech.

There will be an hydrogen economy but the generation of it will be renewable energy and water and generated near consumption. There is probably an export industry but only if cost of the product + logistic is cheaper than local generation.

The Chinese already moved on from EV and look to Hydrogen. Airbus already got hydrogen aircrafts in concept. That's the next phase on phasing oil as fuel.

"Alberta could have at least two large liquefied natural gas projects exporting energy".

Has the province really just completely forgotten how well other exporting ideas have gone? Getting a lot of pipelines built these days without government intervention? Man if this is what the UCP has as their grand idea for the Province..

I think their plan is to use existing infrastructure where possible.

If there is a market for this type of hydrogen play, it will become available as the technology matures and demand increases along with it. Time will tell.

This isn't so much a UCP idea, they're a little late to the party:

The market wants to hear green future. At least UCP is playing ball and should be commended.

But immediate future probably need us to look around our backyard to see if we have crucial battery components that needs to be unearthed.

Didn't they just close down the hydrogen fill station out by ?Strathmore? (The one for hydrogen fueled trucks/heavy trucks)

Yes growing market...

Hydrogen as a transport fuel baffles me. LNG (not CNG or LPG) for heavy-trucks seems more sensible, and cheaper and like 90% of the "greenness".

This^.
Take the smallest particle on earth and compress the living shit out of it. Easy? Then store it at ludicrous pressures with insane, heavy vessels. Easy?
Totes don't worry that it's about as explosive as a nuke and has a an explosive range between LEL & UEL like almost nothing else.
It's the epitome of "Green Thinking". No respect or comprehension of the technical challenges to make this even marginally feasible or safe. I came up with ideas this dumb in Grade-5. I remember thinking "Bingo! We'll just compact garbage into small steel cubes and use them as a road base beneath asphalt to solve the garbage crisis!"

[ExtraSlow]

tell me more of this cube idea. I would like to invest.

You build a giant hydrogen pipeline, and all the green people love it because it's not dirty, dirty oil. Then when they're not looking you slide an oil pipeline inside it.

Could be good for enriching natural gas

NKLA...like 8x return in 2 months. Don't worry about the stuff after. It's just noise. People are jealous they can't roll a truck downhill.
