Conventional geothermal electrical generation, where conditions are right, is an excellent form of renewable generation. It keeps chugging along day and night, offering firmed power with some of the highest capacity factors in the business and very low emissions per MWh. Yet, despite its many advantages, geothermal often gets left … [continued]

A commonly cited argument is that surplus electricity from renewable sources, particularly solar and wind, makes hydrogen production both economical and practical. The rationale seems simple: when the sun shines brightly or winds blow strongly, there’s an abundance of electricity, potentially making hydrogen cheap. But this claim oversimplifies the economic … [continued]
