Australia’s hydrogen “superpower” dream could be massive waste of money, says Griffith

It’s certainly something that should be discussed more, but I doubt if that piece presents a balanced picture.

For instance it talks about producing steel in Australia, but you can’t produce steel with just electricity. At the moment almost all steel is produced using coal, but there is a non-fossil fuel alternative, and that is guess what, hydrogen.
