Maybe because I've filtered or switched off from so much else, your posts stand out that much more. :)
Disingenuous, really? Okay, noted.
Just one thing, though. IM may have been initially designed for natural gas storage, CH4 (methane). But hydrogen, H2, is still classed as a ga, afaia. Besides the difference in top side plumbing requirements the storge chamber below ground would be equally suited to either. A gas bottle is just a gas bottle. Correctly manufactured it can contain a variety of different gases like, propane, butane, oxygen, Co2, nitrous oxide.... Although their properties may vary in a lot of ways that may make take it a while for widespread domestic use, H2 is a good replacement for natural gas within existing combustion turbines in power staions. Which there just happends to be next door. "IF" they can overcome the initial hurdles to get the canverns started, a transition bewteen two differtent gases doesn't seem so much of an issue in the whole scheme of things.
Oh, and "facts". LOL Oh no, people don't always like facts. Wicked, tricksy, nasty little things is facts.
