Australia plans to invest heavily in production of hydrogen, including production that consumes fossil fuels and will probably contribute to CO2 emissions.

It wants to use "renewable energy" funds for this project.

The core aim of this planet-roasting bullshit is to paint CO2 generation as acceptable on the expectation supposition that the CO2 will be captured. Will that really happen? What fraction will the hypothetical technology actually succeed in capturing, if it ever works? Is it ready for use at industrial scale at all now?

The loophole for cheating our future is that they will build the plant, and capturing all the CO2 won't actually be feasible, but they will insist on using the plant anyway "because we already paid for it."
