I would love to have participated in this rather darkly hilarious effort, but that SCE cut our power all afternoon these last 3 days anyway - very helpful.
Let us enumerate the ways this effort is bizarre.

Darkly amusing and insightful thread from @CJHandmer . Let's build for the long term future we want.

Just found this summary of an engineering symposium by @exxonmobil from 1981. More than a fourth of their effort (in the wake of the 1970s energy crises) was on synfuels, which they estimated would require 20-25 years for maturity. Other work was on oil shale. 
Great thread here. With a helpful dose of humility for all of us trying to build or predict the future of energy.
An eye-opening look at how we deceive ourselves in order to deceive others.

Great paper! I think your conclusions out to 2030 are very reasonable. I do think the bottleneck is much more likely to be demand and firm offtake contracts (along with permitting for all the renewables / transmission needed) rather than supply of electrolyzers per se.
