How common is this for there to be actual statistical significance to it?

Fission is still on the border of being economically viable despite being 70+ years seasoned.
​
Anyone who has delusionals about fusion just coming in as "free green energy" any time within this century are completely delusional.

Right because miners are just gonna pack it up, sell their hardware and never mine crypto again?
​
Or are they all switching to bitcoin or some other coin where they can mine and make approximately the same of it, and thus absolutely nothing has changed. And until no coin at all is worth mining, nothing will change.

That is a better option for sure. Although storing hydrogen without losing a lot of its energy is difficult. Right now the focus should be on producing green hydrogen for use in fertilizers etc. instead of using dirty hydrogen.

Hydrogen heating seems kinda shite.
Almost all hydrogen is produced from natural gas or coal. This process removes a good portion of both the available energy, and increases volume thus making transportation harder. And almost all hydrogen produced from fossil fuels don't store the carbon but release it.
​
Renewable hydrogen from electrolysis -> heating will have an energy loss of like 60-70%, why not just use electric heaters at that point? Sure you could store hydrogen but thats a pipedream.

4500 people for a medical survey is very very little.
How are they gonna isolate all the other factors that could play a role other than the coffee? Coffee drinkers may be more employed, could eat healthier etc. etc.
To me it's not that clear that it's actually the coffee making a difference.
