Truth About Hydrogen

• Highly combustible. Burns Ultra Violet or Transparent.
• Tasteless & odorless
• Smallest element on the Periodic Table.
• Future hydrogen developments have proposed to use retired coal plants and retrofit them into a hydrogen plant.
  
• 70 million tons of hydrogen produced each year
• 113 Hydrogen sites in the U.S
• The Hydrogen Industry keeps us dependent on Fossils Fuel to be extract Hydrogen.
  

COLOR SPECTRUM OF HYDROGEN

Gray-produced from natural gas.

Blue-uses natural gas and the carbon released varies in temperature.

• Cheapest $2 per kg
• Worse emissions than coal!
• More pollution and creates a Cabon Market by including Cabon Capture & Storage.

Green Hydrogen uses water electrolysis from renewable sources to split hydrogen and oxygen.

• Most expensive $5 per kg

COLOR SPECTRUM OF HYDROGEN

Black/Brown produced by coal gasification. Its giving

Turquoise Hydrogen from methane pyrolysis and generate solid carbon.

Pink produced from nuclear energy!

Yellow Hydrogen used from solar power to generates hydrogen through electrolysis.

ESCALANTE POWER PLANT

PREWITT, NM

• Retired Coal Fired Power Plant that will be retrofitted to develop Blue Hydrogen Power Plant.
• “First of it kind” Hydrogen Development.
  
• Receive Federal/State tax incentives
• Example: 45Q Tax Credits
  
• Opportunity to sell carbon for enhanced oil recovery

SPEAK YOUR TRUTH and CREATE ART!

Questions to consider when shaping your narrative

ADDRESS THE ISSUE:

• Are there signs of False Solutions being proposed in your community?
• Are there historical ties to fossil fuel in your community?

IMPACT ON COMMUNITY:

• How many Extraction sites are in your community?
• What have been their impacts to you and your community?
  
• What are some ways to combat these fossil fuel addicted industries?
  
• Do you have a close encounter with these fossil fuel monsters?

SOLUTIONS:

• If you had a chance to speak to industry, what would you tell them?
• How can we mend and protect our communities from these entities?
• What are some Solutions to address False Solutions?
  

Calling out Hydrogen and False Solutions

Template to use: 1-3 Minutes for Public Comment

Good Day (Insert Appropriate Official Acknowledgement or Media Source: City Council/County Commissioners/Members of the Legislative Body etc),

My name is __(Insert name) _and I’m from __(County, State, Tribe). Add other Introduction titles as you may. I urge this governing body to prioritize the well being of the our community _(Insert Community Name)_and throughout New Mexico and Southwest as the Hydrogen Industry and false solutions rule-making encroaches on our community.

Hydrogen Industry will keep us dependent on Fossil Fuels and is a False Solution to our energy crisis and climate catastrophe. We need science based solutions that prioritize public health. We need to look at the historic legacy of false solutions; consumer-based solutions that manipulate and commodify the sacred is the root cause of our energy and climate issues. Greenwashing of Hydrogen Industry misleads our communities thinking this is a real solution to our climate and energy crisis. State Other points/Facts of your issue.

Our community should consider the following:

• Protect the Sacred
  
• Standing against the commodification of what is sacred; land, water, air, our communities
  
• Addressing corporate roles in climate mitigation, market-based/nature based solutions and basing solutions on individual/consumer change, rather than addressing the global market and making systematic change
  
• Dismantle global capitalism, neoliberal climate policies, imperialism
  
• Aligned opposition against net-zero, offsetting schemes, fossil fueled hydrogen, carbon capture and storage, geo-engineering, biomass, etc.
  
• Build and Support Collective Grassroots Power and decenter /shifting power from white-led institutions
  
• Build and Support an Intergenerational Movement
  
• We Speak for Ourselves, We call for community solutions.
  
• State Other Solutions.

I believe in State your vision and values .

Again, I demand the (Insert Appropriate Official Acknowledgement) to act in its full capacity to denounce False Solutions and prohibit Hydrogen and phase out of Fossil Fuel Industry.

Thank you,
