Human-Centered Economics

OSE paradigm of internalizing human factors.

Humanity Internalized - means a system where human flourishing and meaning is considered along with technical performance of a technology. Example is based on solar hydrogen vs lithium-ion batteries on global supply chains.

In numbers, cost of solar hydrogen storage in tanks is 0.3 cents per kwhr, truly zero marginal cost just like PV. If the ICE is considered, this jumps up to 0.8 cents per kWhr, which is still 5x better than lithium ion in cost. See numbers - https://chatgpt.com/share/69b8e93b-49dc-8010-860f-8556e61e7eaf

The bottom line for the humanity argument is that we are trying to get by with minimal storage to allow grid independence in renewable energy systems. This logic is consistent with human-centered logic.

Bottom line: low cost storage of hydrogen is feasible. Long-life ICE is required. This does not happen today partly because electricity cost is non-negligible (15 cent retail), 3 cent production for PV - [1]
