Experts Say Forget About Hydrogen “Color” – Just Use & Develop It

Although the left so often preaches we should all be colorblind, they are the ones who are obsessed with a person's, or in this case, a hydrogen molecule's, color. So-called environmentalists are pushing hydrogen as the nirvana alternative to natural gas. Just one teeny-tiny problem: Some 95% of all hydrogen is produced by and comes from natural gas! Which has given rise to a rainbow of colors when talking about hydrogen. If the hydrogen (H2) is produced by cracking natural gas and capturing/storing the carbon dioxide that's left over, it's called "blue" hydrogen. Don't store the CO2 when producing the H2? That's called "gray" hydrogen. And there are other colors depending on the process to produce the H2, including "green" (made from so-called renewable energy sources), "brown" or "black" (H2 made from coal), "turquoise" (stores the CO2 in solid form), and now (yes), even "pink" hydrogen, made using nuclear energy. These dipwads with their color designations are too funny...
