Boondoggle. What’s the hullabaloo about this tomfoolery? It’s all gobbledyremoved to me.
This hubbub may evolve into a kerfuffle or a donnybrook.
I hope we aren’t hornswoggled by this boondogle
Embattled plan called “malarkey” by experts.
pshh. what a waste. all you have to do is dunk your head underwater and breathe in the oxygen.
bam: two free hydrogen.
Don’t they know that government funds are meant for corporate bailouts??
hydrogen is just a fossil fuel investment. yeah let’s just keep pouring money and resources into hydrogen, which requires natural gas for production in 95% of cases. We’ll get to green hydrogen later, after we’ve left you with the bag
NIMBYs everywhere, go figure.
The “blue hydrogen”, “produced from natural gas which is then sequestered” bit is a ridiculous stretch though. Forcing byproducts back into the ground is one of the “justifications”/“pros” for fracking.
What else? solar freaking roadways?
You can’t ask the government to drive innovation and take on difficult challenges if people keep labelling everything that might not work out a boondoggle. The IRA was like $800 billion. It’s okay if 7 is spent on a longshot.
