Thanks for the article on energy storage with hydrogen to resolve peaks on the grid. Seems like a nice solution on paper, although ineficient according to this article citing someone from the MIT, round-trip efficiency of 18%-46%.

Considering that night-time energy from nuclear plants, as well as peak 12pm noon energy from Solar Power plants, are going wasted right now, 18% round-trip efficiency is better than the 0%-efficient fully wasted energy that we're doing right now.
