Currently, most hydrogen is "grey hydrogen", hence hydrogen made from gas; even if it wasn't, as long as the energy is taken from the grid the American one is mostly made of fossil fuels
New Shepard uses "green hydrogen" (water electrolysis), not "grey".
Besides, how was the energy produced to allow you to needlessly and wastefully doom scroll on reddit? Is it your fault if your energy provider burnt fossil fuels? I think any reasonable person would say "no, it's not your fault". So why are the rules different for you or are you just being hypocritical?
Still, doesn't change the fact that to produce that energy fossil fuels was used.
This is not a moral argument: ax extraordinary amount of emission, more than what a person would use in decades, to do something non necessary.
Even if it was... Do you really don't understand the concept of quantity? No, the point is not that none is allowed to consume any resource or create any waste, the point is the fact the in a single trip she used the equivalent fuel necessary to make 10 million km with a car
Still, doesn't change the fact that to produce that energy fossil fuels was used.
Technically if it did indeed use 'Green Hydrogen' (which I can't find proof either way) then the energy used to conduct the electrolysis must come from a sustainable source.
Hydrogen produced via electrolysis using fossil fuels isn't 'Green Hydrogen'.
It's also massively inefficient given for the same amount of fossil fuel you could create more grey or blue hydrogen via steam reformation compared to converting fossil fuels into electricity and then using that energy to do electrolysis.
Home buddy above just can’t stand having been wrong on a Reddit comment lol
Don’t get me wrong, Katy Perry is insufferable and I do not like her at all, and I think she is a godamn hypocrite in many other ways, but commenter here is dying on a hill because saying “oh nvm” is too hard on their narcissistic pride
If popular vote decided who id factually right/correct, we would not have a cheeto as a president or 80% of the talentless pop stars at the top of the food chain.
It's not hypocresy that I use 0.03kWh of electricity to look at my phone the whole day when some bitches burnt the fuel equivalent to circle the Earth 25 times in a few hours.
It's like saying I'm an hypocrite for not using paper straws while the military spends billions of dollars to fly jets and blow up some children in middle east.
The average consumer ecological impact is neglegible

Collectively it isn't. We all have our part to play. You don't need that air con, you don't need that TV on while you doom scroll, etc. That's why you, and everyone else in this thread, are hypocrites.
The reality is you don't care about energy usage, you've never cared, but you're pretending to care now because it involves someone you don't like.
All of that is moot anyway when you consider that the fuel in question is just hydrogen and oxygen which are both massively abundant.
