    Why even build it in texas? Seems like huge oversight…

      Because there’s an existing chemicals industry there, which would be able to use the hydrogen to replace hydrogen from fossil fuels.

        Ah, then it makes more sense. It will interesting to see what kind of solution will be chosen. Building plant near ocean and transporting hydrogen or maybe building water pipeline from the ocean? I just hope that wont result in no action at all…
