- Summary:
- This book critically examines the promises and limitations of hydrogen as a solution to climate change. Written by Joseph J. Romm, it explores the history, science, and politics of hydrogen energy, debunking claims about its feasibility as a primary energy source. The author highlights the inefficiencies, environmental risks, and economic challenges associated with hydrogen, particularly when compared to renewable electricity and electric vehicles. Romm argues that the push for hydrogen is often driven by vested interests such as the fossil fuel industry. The book advocates for a focus on electrification and renewable energy as more practical, efficient, and scalable solutions to combat climate change. Intended for policymakers, environmentalists, and energy professionals, it provides a well-researched critique to guide informed decision-making in the race to achieve a sustainable future.
