World first as Orkney ferry crew complete hydrogen course......
A ferry crew in Orkney has become world leaders after training to work on hydrogen-powered vessels.
Five seafarers from Orkney Ferries’ MV Shapinsay completed a new course, thought to be the first in the world, to gain the skills to work onboard the ferry when hydrogen is used in the vessel’s system.

Sorry for the slight tangent.
UK to launch high risk science agency with £809 million funding. Let's hope they can keep up the cash pipeline. The make-up allows for a lot more experimental failures. It's an attempt for the UK to keep hold of it's future most valuable intellectual assets. Unlike the selling of DeepMind to google and perhaps the recent ARM to NVIDIA debacle.
Many options are there.

Soot law Suit.
This suit, which is the first of its kind, seeks to ensure that the EPA consults with agencies responsible for wildlife and plant protection to ensure its action does not drive any endangered species to extinction.
Soot, also known as fine particulate matter, is a known threat to imperiled wildlife. Research has linked it to harm in numerous endangered species, including whooping cranes, desert tortoises and small mammals like the critically imperiled Preble’s meadow jumping mouse. And yet despite its legal mandate to consider the impacts of agency actions on endangered species, the EPA refused to consider how soot might affect these species.
