New US Hydrogen Strategy: Wrong Department, Wrong Authors
The US hydrogen strategy was positioned in the wrong federal department. It was put in the hands of people who deal with fossil fuels all day long and have a paradigm of burning them for energy, not a paradigm of electricity for energy. It fails Rumelt’s test for the first thing that makes a good strategy, and so its principles and actions will be failures as well.
The US Department of Energy (DOE) is in an interesting spot in the transformation to a low-carbon economy. 55% of its budget is for nuclear energy, but most of the USA’s 100 or so reactors are aging out and all but a couple will be off the grid by 2035. There certainly aren’t any plans to build 100 new nuclear reactors in the States as the country doesn’t have the conditions for successful nuclear rollout any more, and the current hope of SMRs will probably fail to deliver.
