Wow Luxury and Sustainability don’t normally go so well together to reduce emissions.
Plastic bags, climate change, renewable energy,

Definitely no info on the green energy that will supposedly be used to power this monstrosity. Imagine if that was to be put to good use, instead of some circle jerk, flex fest for the rich and shameless?

Yep, not to mention the embodied energy. Also the people who won't leave their land, who the regime is killing to make way for the broader project.

Hey! MBS and his minions are good people doing good things. That's enough of this blatant uninformed attack on their benevolent nation.
RIP: world.

From a country that's proud to house multi-billionaire criminals, highly unlikely.

When I looked at the article I thought to myself...that is going to be a difficult shape to groom.

Yep, that’s all spot on. I’ve quietly (and sometimes not quietly) saying these things for some years, including during some advisory work I’ve done for the hydrogen strategy.
It’s just not a thing for transport, but does have some really important uses.
I still reckon making synthetic kerosene from green hydrogen will be (an expensive) way decarbonising aviation though - there are trillions tied up in the commercial aviation fleet and it has a long service life. And aviation really does need the energy density you get from liquid hydrocarbons….

Money isn't an object to most of them if they can get the rich to spend it there.
Twiggy pens multi-billion dollar green hydrogen deal to transition European energy away from Russia

Yeah. It’s an expensive way of exporting renewable electricity from Australia, the sun cable seems more sensible.

I would imagine that the electrolysis method would be water intensive, it is the same with Twiggy's slurry pipe to carry iron to Port Hedland. They can't just keep on sucking water out of the water table over in WA without future consequences.

Yep, we’re on that. Hydrogen guys had all been “no worries, water costs are small relatively speaking”, and the water people are “we don’t care what it costs, how much do you actually need and do we have it spare”.

The real solution to water is desalination though. It’s a surprisingly small 5-10 percent energy cost to run desal to feed electrolysers. And lots of research going on into electrolysers that will run on sea water.
Problem with desal is brine disposal, it’s not great for marine ecosystems. Dilution is not the solution to pollution…

A good windstorm will turn that surface into a base shredding fuck show.
I think so. My research confirms.
