We have to be careful please when jumping onboard with taxpayers’ money for new technology.
Can someone please explain how much hydropower goes—will be going into— the production of a ton of hydrogen and/or helium at this new site?
Further, what is the ratio of energy into energy out?
Finally, who will be buying the finished product, and does it make sense to use 小蓝视频’s short supply of electricity for this production?
Even with Site C coming online, I understand 小蓝视频 will be a net importer of electricity for the long term.
