Beyond the Silver Mountains, a Greener Dream: Delta's Solar and Hydrogen Alchemy Redefines Clean Energy

Delta: A Tiny Town with Flourishing Future. Utah’s Unique Plan Unfolding for Hydrogen Fuel Future Clean Energy…Powered by Silver.
Just outside Delta, Utah, there is a small one-stoplight town that will soon be home to a massive underground battery that uses hydrogen fuel to store excess energy.
The project is part of a broader plan to produce a clean form of energy that can be stored in caverns.
The idea is to make it possible to produce carbon-free energy that can be stored in caverns to be cleanly used to generate electricity when needed. It will be a massive battery that will be stored underground.
Silver is Playing a Massive Role in Fuel Cell Technology. Stanford professors have worked with Research and Development teams at Toyota and discovered that Silver is a better catalyst than expensive Platinum Metals. Also, the chemical mixture is more uncomplicated, bringing down the cost of fuel-cell cars, trucks, and vans.
This has also opened a magic door to fuel cell ships, barges, ferries, yachts, and boats.
If this wasn't enough, also think of cooling systems being fueled by Silver.
The location has two massive caverns underground, each as tall as the Empire State Building.
The caverns are massive geological salt formations where water is used to remove the salt by dissolving it. Once the caverns are ready, they will be appropriate for storing large amounts of energy in the form of hydrogen fuel in gaseous form.
This project will store excess electricity generated by solar and wind farms in the spring and fall when demand is low.
Then, it will use the stored energy in the summer when the electricity demand is high.
The Silver Academy has also reached out to some scientists in Deadwood, South Dakota, Bisbee, Arizona, and Silver City, New Mexico, to plant the thought seed and gather information on how using old mines could house similar underground battery projects and the use of Silver will be at the forefront of this future energy.
The Spanish subsidiary of the Silver Academy called La Plata penned a letter to officials in Chihuahua, Mexico, to discuss similar usages in Mexico's Copper Canyon, where there are hundreds of deep Silver mine shafts to bring a brighter energy future to the Colonias across Northern Mexico.
The new hydrogen fuel burning plant will replace an aging coal-burning facility that will be shut down.
The old plant that will be replaced is a twin boiler coal plant that still burns fossil fuels and emits massive amounts of greenhouse gases, including carbon dioxide, into the atmosphere.
The new $2 billion plant's construction will be complete by 2025.
The first of the new plant's 40 electrolyzers have already started arriving at the site, having been transported there by rail. The new equipment is massive 100-ton units about the size of a sizeable standard shipping container.
The electrolyzers will split water molecules into hydrogen fuel and oxygen.
Since the electrolyzers will be powered by solar and wind energy, green hydrogen fuel will result from the plant's use.
Remember, Solar and Wind Energy technologies use millions of ounces of Silver.
Though the plant will begin with a mix of hydrogen fuel and natural gas burning to generate electricity, the goal is to make it emission-free, burning only H2 for electricity generation by 2045.
