Or everyone is now at home with a full fuel tank having panic bought fuel that they didn't actually need.
Guildford area.. no diesel yet. I am going to write to my MP and complain about it…..

Our company has committed to hydrogen power for its trucks. The fact we produce the hydrogen might help.

In reality, you can say that people have been driving around in a bomb for decades. Petrol is highly flammable and will ignite easily. You can see this by the number of vehicle fires there have been. The modern fuel cell vehicles are totally different from the days of the airships. Our company would not put its name against anything that was going to be dangerous.In my untrained mind, I struggle with hydrogen. Zeppelin is the first thing that comes to mind. h2 is a storage challenge. It needs more compression than regular fuel. Don’t fancy hearing about two mini zeppelins crashing into each other and closing the motorways.
Also blue H2 provides another challenge on carbon storage. There is talks about CCS in the North Sea bed, but will it happen at this scale? Maybe we repurpose that co2 and use it for drinks and killing animals (apparently govt paying some american co a lot of money to keep co2 coming)
My worry about leccy v H2 seems to be a bit of VHS v Betamax fight. God knows which will win.
As Robster has already explained, using a Zeppelin analogy is completely wrong.In my untrained mind, I struggle with hydrogen.

I also thought most car fires were a result of the hydraulic fluid igniting, not the petrol.In reality, you can say that people have been driving around in a bomb for decades.

In that case, why not heat with the renewable energy directly?I'm a big fan of going down the H2 route for long haul transport (and possibly home heating), but only if it's genuine green hydrogen generated by electrolysis using renewable electricity.
Problem is that it requires a heck of a lot of electricity to produce.
In that case, why not heat with the renewable energy directly?
Because many homes already have a radiator based central heating system so all you need to do is change the boiler instead of the major upheaval involved in installing some form of electrical system. Ripping out and throwing away something that works then replacing it with something that's been newly manufactured is not exactly environmentally friendly.In that case, why not heat with the renewable energy directly?

You think that's madness, a mate of mine saw an old lady put £1.69 worth of fuel in her car before paying and driving away. £1.69!!!Diesel ahoy…
Sat morning, was dropping off son for footy training. Very foggy down here so hardly a car on the road. Decided to try my luck .. bingo.. no queue, plenty of fuel .. in and out in 5 mins.
However OAP in front filled his car and then his can. He then lifted his can and put it in the boot next to the other can… why? Haven’t we learnt that petrol is not going out of fashion
I think they went about managing buying the wrong way round.You think that's madness, a mate of mine saw an old lady put £1.69 worth of fuel in her car before paying and driving away. £1.69!!!
And that, sir, is exactly right! Great point.I think they went about managing buying the wrong way round.
Many places had a maximum of £30. They should have made it a minimum of £30, regardless of how much fuel you actually put in.
