    Yeah, but Alaska uses dramatically less energy than… like, everywhere. Given that there are no people and the only industries are either oil or resources.

      oil and resource industries are pretty well known for being energy intensive no?

      last i checked industry is the primary energy consumer. Sure there’s less people in alaska, but it was just an example i picked, and the market economics would still be applicable there. If it’s cheaper to buy hydrogen, than it is to produce locally sourced power, that’s going to be what happens.

        Not in comparison to… normal things like people and manufacturing.

        And oil is oil, it’s self-powering. Many/most are powered off of the propane out-gassing to dedicated turbines.
