This is a ridiculous project from start to finish and should be a nail in the coffin for any initiatives to move H2 into the residential space. Better go clean up blast furnaces before EAFs take over.
The SoCalGas [H2] Hydrogen Home is set to revolutionize energy in #California.
Keep an eye out as our [H2] Hydrogen Home will be featured in the upcoming edition of @fastcompany.

Back in 2017, California’s gas industry orchestrated an elaborate astroturfing campaign at the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach. Go read @Sammy_Roth and @mirandacgreen's story, but follow along here more details https://t.co/qOwYjpC2TP
@mcarrel @missionvespa @CalEnergy Gas appliances don’t work in a power outage either. It’s strange that an org concerned about air quality is arguing to tap the breaks on health saving measures, while it’s taking $$ from the fossil fuel industry and using similar talking points. Maybe it’s just a coincidence?
@Mark_Abramowitz@sasan_saadat Correct! And of course, there are varying definitions of green hydrogen. The point was that current H2 production is CO2 intensive, raising questions future benefits. Committee members are looking for more leadership from Green H2 in holding the whole industry accountable.
Pretty interesting debate broke out today about hydrogen on a team call. A little tangential to the topic at hand (mining and quarrying) but it arose from the fact that H2 production in CA generated about 10.7MMT of CO2 in 2019 (direct emissions).
After a vigorous debate, action was tabled until a review of the budget is completed and a determination could be made on a controversial interpretation of Robert’s Rules of Order (it’s the same person every time 🙄) and of course adequate consultation with our bylaws.
The clearest agreement during the debate formed around a side bar re: the CPUC ALJ PD dismissing Application 20-11-004 and this quote from @sara_gersen: “There's no real plan for the other 93%” of gas in the system. [see https://t.co/4My2FvC8ET]
It’s been a while. Sorry for the pause. Our annual strategy meeting was rather exciting. You’ll be hearing a lot from us in 2021/2022.
Thank you @ecgill for bringing the individually wrapped pastries and cider for our socially distanced planning meeting.
Honest to God if our committee meeting debate on the concentrated solar technology “breakthrough” doesn’t wrap up in the next ten minutes our coalition might not survive.
