The restoration of the habitat is great. I’m a bit concerned that it’s warm enough for dolphins at this time of year.

Here in Europe they just run on electric cables.

A very important thing to keep in mind when talking about hydrogen is that is only more sustainable if produced using renewables, which is less than 0.1% of current hydrogen production. If it is produced with fossil fuels, which 99.9 % of it is, it is worse for the environment than burning coal, or conventional jet fuel, for the same energy. https://arstechnica.com/science/2021/08/blue-hydrogen-pushed-by-gas-companies-harms-climate-more-than-coal-study-says/

If the hydrogen is sourced from electrolysis powered by zero emissions sources, sure, there could be a niche there. If it's just a lifeline for the oil and gas industry to turn natural gas into hydrogen - FUCK THAT.

Just because some dolphins got lost in a toxic river doesn't mean it is clean.

Usd? Your house must be pretty huge, cost price per watt is about 0.2 usd, if you include shipping and distributor mark ups it's at most 0.5 usd. A 20 panel system of 550w each is 11kw which is 5.5k. A 12kw inverter is around 2k and a 10kw battery should be about 10k making your total cost about 18k usd and between labour and delivery and profit margins I'd say 25k is fair for a 20 panels system. So 75k should be for a 60 panel system and that's way too huge. A family of 10 probably wouldn't even be able to use it effectively enough.

Dolphins are just a myth. Like Stonehenge or boxing kangaroos.

electrification is still much better, especially for long distance trains
