The pretext for shutting down California's nuclear plants were "earthquake faults" but like Germany they would have been shut down for one reason or another because nuclear plants are naughty. . Los Angeles DWP is currently converting their 1,900 MW coal plant in Utah to natural gas, with an alleged goal of replacing the natural gas with hydrogen by 2045 - which has a very uncertain meaning. The economic way to produce hydrogen in America is steam-converting natural gas, with CO2 injection deep into the earth where it becomes a carbonate rock. Hydrogen is also a byproduct of oil refineries. Hydrolysis from water is phenomenally costly so not used. . Japan is doing something even cheaper and more perverse - having Australia heat coal in a kiln and cooking off the hydrogen - creating what a century ago was called coal-gas. In this instance, the resulting huge amounts of CO2 from the coal are simply released into the atmosphere. Japan says they're buying this hydrogen "because it's a green fuel" which is a farce. - aa.com.tr
