Deutschlands Wasserstoffstrategie verzögerte die Elektrifizierung, indem sie die Arbeitskräfte in die falsche Richtung lenkte
Deutschlands Wasserstoff-Backbone ohne Kunden und ohne Lieferanten ist in dieser Reihe aus mehreren Blickwinkeln untersucht worden. Ausgangspunkt war die Pipeline von nirgendwo nach nirgendwo selbst und die Energie- und sonstigen Nachfrageflüsse, die sich nicht materialisieren werden.
