Hydrogen's Missing Trillions
Despite $360 billion of subsidies targeting clean hydrogen, the world is $2 to $4 trillion short of what would be required to meet the promises of its boosters and the politicians they have fooled.

Hydrogen's Missing Trillions
Over the past four years, around $360 billion of hydrogen subsidies have been announced. In some cases, like the US Inflation Reduction Act or Japan's Hydrogen Society Promotion Act, subsidies can be layered or stacked to create a bonanza for those that get them.
But clean hydrogen is expensive to produce, expensive to transport, expensive to store, expensive to distribute, and expensive to use. So much so that subsidies disbursed this side of 2030 will be between $2 trillion and $4 trillion too little to deliver the 90 million ton target for that year set at last year's Hydrogen Energy Ministerial.
In fact, we are likely to see less than 10 million tons of clean hydrogen globally by 2030, decarbonizing around 10% of current fossil hydrogen use. There is a yawning chasm between the rhetoric of politicians and hydrogen boosters, and reality.

Hydrogen's Missing Trillions
And do tell your mates - particularly that annoying one who doesn't realise he has bet his career on a hydrogen project that will never see the light of day!
Sir Michael:
FYI -- one of the first continuous "over-unity" electric power unit that was built and successfully operated - was invented and constructed by Nikola Tesla himself.
The circuitry was contained in his first transmitter-receiver set he built for his Radio Controlled boat - which he Patented.
The "radio station to radio station tuning circuitry" is found in any AM or FM radio manufactured after Tesla invented and then applied for his radio US Patent - on Mar. 20th. 1900
--- over 124 years ago.
My first successful / solid-state POD MOD design / "electronically produced" continuous electric output power - while powering a resistive test load:
--- 103% "over-unity"
--- on May 1st. 1982
--- over 42 years ago.
My second successful / mechanical-electrical design - an AC drive motor very lightly "rim-driving a 9 pole generator I designed and built - POD MOD -- "electrically-produced" continuous electric output power - while powering an "off-the-shelf" AC motor as the load:
--- at 293% "over-unity"
--- on Sept. 10th. 1984
--- almost 40 years ago.
The developed output from the generator was:
--- "pure", i.e., no harmonics or noise - perfect sinusoidal waveform:
--- 120 VAC / 60 Hz / 0.06 A (60 mA) - while the 120 VAC / 60 Hz input power connected to the generator - had to be "electrically reduced" to the absolute minimum input power value / via a variable power resistor / to:
--- 75 VAC / 60 Hz / 0.03 A (30 mA): in order for the generator to produce it's maximum developed
power level.
Northwest Laboratories of Seattle WA In. (est. 1896) produced the above test results / at their facility / with their test equipment / tested "...their way...".
Had the licensed Electrical Engineer conducting the test followed the specific connection instructions given him -- as noted in red pencil on page 2 of the signed affidavit -- the total "output power" to input power ratio:
--- would have been well over 400% - which had been producing when properly connected together:
--- for over 6 months previous.
The bottom two entries on page two -- verify the output levels when compared to the actual input power level to the drive motor.
It was is the very same quality and type of AC power required by the US FERC to be made available to any power utility connected US home or commercial entity in the US today.
The POD MOD can "selectively" produce any of the present day electric power levels used throughout the UK.
How do I know -- I read.
Because you didn't recognize all of the specific results - the terms used above - define "electric resonance" -- as discovered and patented by Nikola Tesla in 1894.
We commonly are taught - correctly - that the circuitry described above - is a "band-pass filter", i.e., a resonant tank circuit used to filter out all of the other signals - except that frequency that the circuit is "tuned" to.
It is not up to me tot instruct you -- but you obviously don't know that electrical circuitry can have multiple uses as I was in the early 1960s while attending and graduating from both the US Navy Class "A" Electronics School and Class "A" Radar School: - which was "heads-above" - as far as correct content when compared to the curriculum being taught today as Basic Electronics.
Just because a fact is not taught today - doesn't make it viable -- just forgotten.
I was granted US Patent 5,146,395 / A POWER SUPPLY INCLUDING TWO TANK CIRCUITS / with "regenerative feedback" / 16 claims / no changes or redactions requested / in a little over 1 year.
"Over-unity" was specifically not claimed - as it was known that the US/DOE and / or US/DOE would have the application rejected if such a claim were made:
--- but I totally defined it in both the Patent ABSTRACT and body of the text.
If you don't have the intelligence or where-with-all to carefully read the Patent ABSTRACT:
--- that is not of my concern.
The Patent ABSTRACT - upon careful reading --specifically delineates that a small portion of the developed output power is routed "back to the source" as "regenerative feedback" / cutting off the internal "start-up" power source and allowing the resonant output circuitry to be continuously powered "internally" via the developed "regenerative feedback" -- allowing for:
--- continuous / "electronically produced" / "over-unity" / clean / electric output power to any load connected to it / at the site of need (no power grid required) / up to the "selected" / maximum / output level as required by the site / for as long as that site requires that electric power.
It's simple / basic / electronics sir.
It's not up to me to educate you as to what can be accomplished - "if" one gets past one's "position(s) / accolade(s) / degree(s) as you have many:
--- and think - instead of reacting / protecting what you think you know.
As for the Patent in question - which you earlier dismissed as "something unreadable"(paraphrase) -- if you want to take on the US Patent office -- be my guest -- and "good luck with that".
I will gladly furnish you a copy of the Northwest Laboratory test report - if you give me an address to send it to -- you might learn something new.
"Truth is a real Bitch".
You are entitled to you own opinions sir -- but you are not entitled to your own facts.
I would truly like to communicate with you - but in a civil / honest / non biased manner -- because you - in your present position -- could definitely use the POD MOD technology in the UK.
It's up to you - if you want to just keep on doing the same old "two step" -that is digging the UK into a deeper hole as time goes by -- thus your upcoming election.
Yours Respectfully,

And as a full-blooded Scotsman / direct lineage on my Grandmother's side to Rob Roy MacGregor:
--- I don't take a back seat to anyone.
Chairman Michael -- Sir:. this is, of coarse; your blog - and
--- you are entitled to your own "opinions".
But you - of all people - especially in your position and with your education -- "should" know that:
--- you are not entitled to your own facts.
Fact 1:
The POD MOD is not an "inverter".
After being started from it's own on-board "start-up" power source, i.e., 2 - standard size, rechargeable, 9 VDSC batteries: -- it immediately "electronically produces":
--- continuous / Classic Physics defined / "maximum" output; while at the same time:
--- electrically reducing it's required input to "absolute minimum"
These are two electric conditions present in every "radio station to radio station tuning circuit" found in every AM or FM radio manufactured since Nikola Tesla invented and applied for his patent:
--- on Mar. 20th. 1900 -- over 124 years ago.
The fact that you're education didn't include the above facts -- does not invalidate them>
I wasn't initially taught them - either in the US Navy Class "A" Electronics School and then Class "A" Radar School I was assigned to and attending:
--- the year you were born.
Fact 2:
The POD MOD is the modern day version of electronic circuitry based on US Patented circuitry invented / discovered and US Patented by Nikola Tesla - between the years 1890 and 1900.
Fact 3:
The circuitry - when "tuned" - in all instances:
ALWAYS
--- produces the absolute maximum power level "in" the circuitry, while:
--- "electrically reducing the required input power level connected 'to' the circuit -- full stop.
No Law of Physics / 2nd. Law of Thermodynamics / Conservation of Energy Theory / Perpetual Motion / Sustained Action -- is even touched -- full stop -- and those two electrical conditions are contained/ described - in most all well researched / well written college level Electronics textbooks.
I wasn't taught it - as I "learned what the Instructor wanted me to learn" - in order to graduate - and I did.
But: -- after being introduced to Tesla - while being taught "convention 'current-flow' theory" - which is now acknowledged to be incorrect and backwards - because it originated with the "positive-to-negative" "static-electricity" (Greece - 600 B.C.) -- things just didn't "fit":
--- in 1975 - after finding a specific Tesla Patent (US 464,666), i.e. my "missing piece to the puzzle":
--- in three years I unlearned what I had been taught -- went "back to the books" -- and discovered what was actually there -- "Negative to Positive" / "electron based / voltage potentially effected "amperage movement in a circuit.
"That" is what causes "heat" light" and magnetic fields to be developed in motors and generators:
--- "positive electric "charges" - only start the process.
Fact 4:
The two Patent Attorneys who wrote the application - were both US Licensed Electrical Engineers and previous US Patent Examiners .
They knew how to write the application so that the circuitry operation would be correctly and completely described - without claiming - "over-unity". -- which is correctly described.
Sir -- just because you either weren't taught - or don't know that under specific conditions - an electric circuit can "reduce" it's required electric input power level:
--- to much less than what the circuit itself can produce:
--- doesn't mean that it doesn't occur.
It has - and does occur -- and whether or not you agree with the fact -- is not germane to what I initially offered on your blog.
FYI:
Back in 1963 - when I was in "Electronics School" - everything was powered with "power tubes" -- which, if not controlled, would go into "over-drive" (my terminology here - better known as "resonance") and would "blow-up" - rather spectacularly some times.
The fact that you were not taught "tube technology" and how Tesla controlled it -- is however -- seemingly at the crux of your response::
--- and due to your present positions in things concerning Climate Change in the UK and elsewhere -- is truly unfortunate.
It is unfortunate -- because your lack of knowledge pertaining to this specific technology -- because you weren't exposed to it in school -- is at the heart of the matter here.
If you would take the time to contact me directly - I will direct you to where the corroborating / validating text-book located information is concerning Tesla's / the POD MOD's operation.
And being the educated man that you are - you will find it and understand it - and become a major part in really starting to fight Climate Change - in the fossil-fuel power plants and vehicles.
Or -- you can keep your position --and be part of the problem.
I will add -- as maybe an incentive for you::
--- EC President Ursula von der Yelen has requested, through Mr. Vincent Berrutto / Head of Unit / Directorate-General for Energy / EC - specifically referencing my Patent that you don't think is well written:
--- that I apply for funding for the POD MOD Project through Horizon Europe - which I am in process of doing - with a European based Project business partner.
It has been decided -- based on the Patent - and other successful / professional laboratory conducted tests on a design - that according to you I didn't build:
--- which produced continuous / pure - with no harmonics or noise / sinusoidal AC waveform / 120 VAC / 60 HZ output while powering an 120 VAC / 60 Hz AC motor:
--- at 293% "over-unity"
that the application be placed through the EC / EIC Accelerator Open Proposal for Breakthrough / Disruptive Technology.
Finally -- the pc-board based design has an "up to and including" maximum "selectable" VDC or VAC continuous / "over-unity" output power level of:
--- 480 V / 480 Amp -- which equals
--- 230,400 Watts; 230.4 kW; or .2304MW -- however you choose to describe it.
And seeing that it can be installed "at" or "in" any "stationary" or "moving vehicle" -- supplying clean electric power:
--- "at each and any site";
--- "as much as is needed at each and any site";
--- "for as long as is needed at each and any site"
you might "consider" repositioning yourself -- as Europe is getting it -- first
