Why do we need all these bodies filled to the gunnels with people on handsome fees anyhow. Whether we agree with Millibrain and the eco warriors the direction of travel currently is in their favour so that means its upto NSEO to construct a solution to deliver the outcome they desire. They already have OFGEM to stress test its deliverability and affordability and a select committee to probe whatever it wants. Thus get rid of the lot of them. This is entirely in alignment with Reeves statement we she said she wants to reduce the cost of consultants to govt department by £500m/year.

I am from Alaska, not the UK, so I am not competent to discuss your politics. However, I am a competent engineer, and the engineering realities of "green hydrogen" are obvious. Unless electricity magically becomes free, "green hydrogen" is complete bullshit. There is no such thing as a free lunch. There is so much energy lost in the various conversions required that "green hydrogen" will never even approach economic feasibility. It is a massive energy loser, and will make the world worse, not better. Keep up the good fight, guys. The best disinfectant is sunlight, and I wish you all well at spreading sunlight!
