So now you're arguing that anything less than ~60% efficiency is unacceptable? Even for emergency backup or long-term power storage reasons?

You're at multiple layers of denial at this point. It's time to admit you were wrong.

Sure, we could burn hydrogen and drive a boiler like a coal plant. But that's not where this comment thread started.

> Those gas turbines you're referring to can simply be modified natural gas gas turbines

Sure, if you just want to run them for a short period of time and generate a lot more wear. If these turbines are so simple to modify, why does GE say that it won't be until 2045 that their turbines will be able to run 100% hydrogen gas?

Then repurpose old coal plants for the same reason. None of this needs to be hard.

This whole debate started when you were caught making ignorant statements regarding basic chemistry and thermodynamics. You're not going to win by just doubling on everything or moving goalposts. It's past time to admit you were wrong.
