#7 The Hydrogen Mythbuster Part II

Part II of the interview with Canadian Chemical Processes Expert Paul Martin.
In case you have missed it, in Part I Paul talked us through the, rather inconvenient facts about hydrogen as a means to export energy for Australia and why that is a rather far fetched idea.

Here is a link to Part 1 of the interview. 

In this episode Gunnar and James talk about:

• The best uses for hydrogen
• How we will best decarbonise our lives
• We learn about carbon taxes and how Canada has implemented them quite successfully
• Objections to carbon taxes
• Electricity prices in Australia
• What fuels we will use for land transport in the future
• Also for air traffic and long distance shipping
• Whether we will be able to use the existing gas infrastructure (terminals, pipelines, pumping stations etc.)

On top of all that Gunnar took the opportunity to show his terrible knowledge of fairly recent Australian political events. James came to the rescue.
