She makes the case that this…

This sounds very promising. I’m glad someone is applying their knowledge and skills to actively turn things around for the better, for all of us.
It should be a priority for politicians as well, but it’s clear enough whose interest they put first.
Thank you for investing time and resources into doing the right thing and spreading the message to give us hope

Unless someone can make green hydrogen cheaper than it can be made from natural gas this is not going to work out well.

Exactly. And even then, unless there is a way to share the technology throughout the industrialized nations,
this is only a delaying action until the point of no return.

‘Clean Industry’ is an oxymoron. There IS NO CLEAN INDUSTRY. All industrial activity produces a variety of byproducts – the worst one being HEAT. When we can do constructive things without producing heat as a byproduct, we can then have the beginning of ‘clean industry’. Physicists, GET CLEVER.

Saying there’s no clean industries because everything produces heat is like saying carbon capture is bad because living humans are made of carbon and we don’t want to put humans in the ground. It’s pretty obvious what people mean when they’re talking about clean industries; they’re talking about directly harmful byproducts like methane and HCFCs being released in an uncontrolled manner.

@Qudito No, it is not even comparable – at least scientifically. Heat byproduct drives many things on Earth. Some good, and a majority very bad. The thermal output of the last decade alone has changed biomes planet wide, and rapidly. Carbon – especially Fluorocarbon contributes greatly to this thermal output, which is manmade. Add to this the carbon/thermal output of otherwise organic events – such as wildfires, which are increased by industry created HEAT, and there you have it. It would be wise for 1) science to create ‘cool technology for our creative purposes, and 2) people like yourself to stop proclaiming things without researching data- other than your stock portfolio-which IS tremendously stupid.

The dirtiest industry is the building industry. The amount of insulating foams, plastic and concrete used and getting those materials to the building site is insane. And how much just gets burried in the ground while building.
