Hydrogen flames are blue..
But either way, hydrogen won't have as much growth in the energy sector as some expect. I see hydrogen having niche uses for the foreseeable future, mainly due to it's explosive nature and safety aspects.
Overall, safety concerns will always prevail environmental concerns.
There are much less expensive, and safer options out there.
Can't say anything about wind, solar, or any other safe, "environmental friendly" energy. Wind and Solar will become inexpensive every decade, and there is a lot of potential for energy developments with inexpensive electricity.
Nevertheless, in the short and medium term, the more the EV sector or electricity dependent "environmentally friendly" solutions develops, the more fossil fuels will be required to keep up with the demand.
In another 10-20 years, majority of oil fields will be depleted, and demand will once again increase as supply drops. Oil as a commodity will be with us forever.
US, UK, Norway, Mexico etc, all have Combined with underinvestment and drilling bans... reserves won't be replenished.
Can't wait for the crisis ahead of us.
