How much electrical power is needed to produce so and so much hydrogen this way? Thats where the crux is with current methods. Also, costs for transportation(money, power) must be considered in the math. Finally, the ratio between energy per volume-unit, this is quite disadvantegous with LNG which makes Germany's LNG tanker plans so insanely expensive, but I have no idea how it is with hydrogen?

Meanwhile, Germany. Minister Habeck has bowed to the radical ideologists and said two of three nuclear reactors should remain "in reserve", but not actively producing power for the grid, until April. The third one should be switched off in Decembre. This third dne lies in a federal state where the Greens are in election campaign - the link is obvious to me.
Not only does the electricity math of the Green still make no sense, but Habeck has not understood what the difference between oil and gas powerplants and reactors is: the first you can quickly engage and disengage to stabilise fluctuations in the grid, the nuclear powerplant you can't, if you drive it up, it needs around 7 days before it can feed electricity into the grid.
Which means it is completely unsuited to serve as a reserve to prevent Blackouts and sudden grid instabilties. It cannot react fast, within hours or minutes. It needs a week.
The Greens are riding the risk of economic doom just for stupid ideology, and election chances.
Ich hoffe diesen Winter wird es richtig brutal krachen.
