You are still missing the point then. You cannot use that electricity. It is going to be curtailed electricity and is basically lost in the production process.
Taking that unusable electricity making something out of it will drive the cost of hydrogen to basically zero. This is the fundamental reason why solar also became so cheap, despite PVs being “inefficient.” You’re simply taking something free and making something useful out of it.
Like I said from the beginning, you are just repeating the same anti-wind and anti-solar arguments of the past. You can insist that you didn’t actually say that or claim that this is somehow different, but none of that is meaningful. It is just closed-minded nonsense regardless.
Because electricity is traditionally sent very short distances. It’s too bad that this is going away. Your renewable energy resource may be thousands of miles away in the future.
PS: It was a pipeline that sent natural gas to your local gas turbine power plant. If electricity losses was always going to be 5%, why did that pipeline exist at all?

5%. You’re talking about 5% of energy transmitted is lost. So you’re going to start a hydrogen revolution with 5%?
I get it, you’ve found a thing you can be a champion for. But you’re blinded to the real world by your overzealous fandom.

P.S.: My power plant doesn’t burn hydrogen.
I literally said natural gas…
