Very detailed and interesting analysis. I don't understand why hydrogen steel is being ruled out just because it requires steel to build, though. Surely a hydrogen furnace will make more steel than is consumed building it, which will also build up the scrap supply for future recycled steel.

Henri Lefebvre, The Right to the City — In brief, the right to the city is the right to the production of a city. The labor of a worker is the source of most of the value of a commodity that is expropriated by the owner. The worker, therefore, has a right to benefit from that value denied to them. In the same way, the urban citizen produces and reproduces the city through their own daily actions. However, the the city is expropriated from the urbanite by the rich and the state. The right to the city is therefore the right to appropriate the city by and for those who make and remake it.
