OK guys, I just got another article from MSN, announcing a supposed discovery of a natural hydrogen deposit under Lorraine, France, stating its value at a “staggering” $92 Trillion.
France Uncovers the World’s Largest Hydrogen Deposit, Worth a Staggering $92 Trillion
First let me say, again, we’re back to simple math, and as I’ve always warned, hydrogen is an abysmally inefficient means of energy storage. The supposed “geniuses” of the world have only now started to realize this, so their latest hydrogen-hype-fest is all about natural hydrogen deposits, which they say, if found, would be a - wait for it - “a game-changer”.
Now as I’ve also pointed out, any article that uses that term “game-changer” for new energy ideas is most likely an outright lie.
The term “game-changing” is found just six (6) words into the article: " France has just made a game-changing discovery in the quest for clean energy . Beneath the soil of Folschviller , in the Moselle region, scientists have uncovered a staggering 46 million tons of natural hydrogen —a hidden treasure with the potential to revolutionize the energy transition."
This article states that this deposit below France amounts to around half of the current world annual production of hydrogen (almost all from natural methane gas, a byproduct of oil drilling). Since the world hydrogen annual production is worth about $160-170 billion, they have overstated the supposed value of this supposed underground deposit by 1000 times. That’s all, just a thousand times.
Nothing to see here folks, keep moving - it’s now a completely acceptable for a magazine to lie by exaggerating something by 1000 times - because, well, with the planet at stake, some lying may be necessary, even if it serves only to steer people in a wrong direction that will do no good no matter what. It’s all part of the current mental derangement.
This alleged deposit was said to have been found by accident - the driller were searching for natural gas (methane).
Now me? I’ve always thought, from day one of the current hype-fest over underground hydrogen, that if it existed, we’d already know about it from oil, gas, and water drilling. And now, now that this hydrogen-hype-fest has hit the press, SUDDENLY an attempt to find natural gas finds millions of tons of underground naturally occurring hydrogen.
Yeah, sure. for a century of drilling for oil, gas, and water, there was never such a discovery, until just when a natural hydrogen hype-fest hits the internet, suddenly, someone just happens to accidentally find such a deposit. Which would be gone quickly, if it even existed, if used even for mundane industrial uses, let alone to replace other hydrocarbon fuels.
And it might be worth $80 billion at today’s prices, NOT $92 trillion!
Personally, I doubt that such a large deposit of natural hydrogen even exists, just because this “story” has all the typical earmarks of one more “green” lie, and I do not believe there is a future for naturally-found hydrogen to ever find a significant place in our civilization, any more than I believe energy storage using concrete blocks lifted by winches will ever find a significant place in our power grids. Sounds like just more total B.S. to me. one more symptom of the derangement, just as “red spots” are a symptom of chicken-pox. OK enough for now - all is clear - you can go back to sleep! 
Anyway, i only bring this up since we’re in a subject here that has, so far, turned out to be almost 100% BS, so we need to recognize BS when we see it, so we don;t fall for it!
