@Momentum5 thanks. Been here holding since the hydrogen bubble days of yesteryear! Held, topped up when could be afforded, carried on holding. Finally, finally in the black 🙂. Happy chappy.

Cureboy - Yep, why spoil the habit if half a decade?

Yep, f... it indeed. All they do is blame the cows then jog off on holiday.

@clued My gt6 is none of these.

@troublesome My tractor is one of these

Thanks SeaAngler. I've been here since the highs of '21, stuck it out and averaged down when I could; probably not enough but hey just sat on it for the long term. As has been said, thanks to you and others for the comments over the years, I've rarely felt qualified!

Bilbo, my '69 gt6 is almost as easy as a bike to work on. Plus is ULEZ exempt, tax exempt, £80 to insure and prettier than these angular (nearly all grey) battery mobiles!

She told 'em mind. And a lot more!

In part 3 talks about Hydrogen from 17 mins, see ITM logo at 19min30sec, then completely dismisses it as an energy source for mainland UK!

Kitesurfer - too busy tweeting away about the oppo with his head buried in the sand.

Samthespaniel - more artisan flour producers ain't the answer!

SP, I had a reply from my MP
Strategy is here,...... somewhere!

"Thank you for taking the time to get in touch, and for sharing with me your views about the benefits of hydrogen for helping us to achieve net zero emissions by 2050. You are absolutely right about this – as you say, whereas “blue” hydrogen is created from fossil sources, “green” hydrogen is made through electrolysis and is an extremely green source of energy.

Currently, the Government is pursuing a twin-track approach to both “colours” of hydrogen (with carbon capture for the blue variant); the recent Energy Security Strategy sets out the ambition to create 10GW of low carbon hydrogen production capacity by 2030. There will be further details announced soon – but there has already been a £26 million innovation funding programme to support industrial hydrogen fuel switching; and a £500 million investment to trial homes using hydrogen for heating and cooking. There are also aims to pilot a “hydrogen neighbourhood” in 2023, a “hydrogen village” in 2024, and plans for a potential “hydrogen town” pilot by 2030.

You are right therefore that there is a lot more that needs to be done – and a lot that should have been done already. But I hope that this offers you some reassurances that the Government does indeed appreciate the potential of hydrogen energy, and is pushing ahead with the necessary investments.

Thank you again for taking the time to get in touch, and with all best wishes,

Yours,

David

Bilbo, that is the best comment about the worsening situation.

Meanwhile ...... at COP OUT27

Yep, done that. But I'd just as well as written to Father Christmas - have you heard of David Warburton and his antics?!

Get that PM a desk job!

GC couldn't sell anti aircraft missiles to Ukraine without waiting for some funding.

Signed TM and thank you. Told Mr Warburton - though he probably has other things on his mind at the mo!
