Calling electrolysis "green" is a nonsense statement,, albeit one frequently heard, and frankly a disturbing lie mindlessly embraced by a credulous public.

Electricity is not "green" but all the idiotic and disgusting photographs of vast land areas being obscenely covered with industrial unreliable wind and solar junk has led to mass delusion that it is.

The fraction of electricity being generated by the combustion of dangerous fossil fuels with the waste being dumped directly into the planetary atmosphere is rising, not falling.

In this case, as in many others, marketing has led to disavowed reality.

Anyone talking about "green hydrogen" is simply spreading dishonest marketing of the type being spread to defeat real action on climate. The coal, oil and gas companies are all laughing on the way to the bank.
