I have to agree tbh, you'd have thought ever since the early zeppelin disasters we'd have given up on Hydrogen as an idea for domestic houses.....
On the other hand, our politicians could give it a try out at Parliament. Call for a full sitting of both houses and If it works great and if things go with a bang we'll know to doesn't work and got rid of a load of rubbish at the same time. |

The lack of expenses claims after that alone would fund a new hospital, DB Fawkes! You could be onto something here...... |

Problem is that current pipework simply isn't capable of supplying 100% hydrogen gas, even if we had it available to use. It is possible to blend in some hydrogen into the methane we currently use, but over a certain proportion, it will begin to escape the pipework, embrittle metal fittings etc and cause the danger of leaks. We're talking about an explosive, odourless gas here which burns with an almost invisible flame in daylight.
I'm pretty sure the 'Hydrogen town' concept is little more than greenwashing by the oil/gas supply companies.
The majority of all the old metallic gas mains and services in Grimsby/ Scunthorpe have been replaced with polyethylene, the remaining will be replaced over the next few years, the nationwide replacement target is 2032 so they are certainly cracking in with it. |

The people of GY voted Brexit on the promise of a revival of the fishing industry.
They were lied to by charlatans.

Brexiteer and serial lobbyist Owen Paterson who previously argued the UK should leave the European Court Of Human Rights is now taking the UK government to the European Court Of Human Rights to challenge the findings that he repeatedly broke rules on paid advocacy. What an absolute whopper.

She only found out via the media. Completely out of touch. |

Taking back control:
Statements from both the UK fisheries minister and the Scottish cabinet secretary for rural affairs claiming a successful outcome to negotiations with Norway on 2023 fishing opportunities were given a less than warm reception by many in the fishing industry last week, reports Andy Read.

Shetland Fishermen’s Association executive officer Simon Collins said that it was too early to say whether quota swaps with Norway will have a positive impact on the local whitefish fleet. He added that the conclusion of the UK-Norway negotiations was ‘just the first piece in a jigsaw that will be put together in the coming weeks’.
The full details of 2023 catching opportunities as a result of these talks were not yet clear, he said, and depended on ongoing negotiations with the EU and Norway, and on bilateral coastal state discussions with Faroe, as well as the ongoing impasse between NEAFC members about shared pelagic stocks.
UK Fisheries, the Humberside- based operator of the freezer trawler Kirkella, reacted with horror to the outcome of the talks, which cement an ongoing decline in distant-water whitefish quotas that has already seen it confirm the tie-up and sale of its vessel Farnella.
Jane Sandell, CEO of the company, said: “This is yet another body blow for fishers in the North East of England. While the government is gloating over its ‘success’ in the Norway talks, we are having to make skilled people redundant in the Humber region. It’s an absolute travesty of fairness and common sense.
“The few extra tonnes of whitefish in the Norwegian zone won’t come close to offsetting the loss in Svalbard due to the reduced TAC. Defra knows this, and yet it simply doesn’t seem to care about the English fleet. Right now, and not for the first time, the only people celebrating will be the Scottish pelagic barons.
“Defra claims to be looking after all sectors of the industry, but it has repeatedly and deliberately discriminated against distant-waters fishing, blaming this on the fact that UK Fisheries has foreign owners – even though we represent one of the few parts of the industry that is making significant investments in and broader contributions to the British economy.”
Defra claimed that in total, the deal reached would see an overall £5m increase in value of fish obtained through the agreement – £3m in the Arctic and £2m in the North Sea – as well as providing access to the Norwegian zone of the North Sea to the UK demersal fleet. This includes 750t of Arctic cod quota, and 1,100t of demersal species in the North Sea.
In spite of the continued impasse on agreeing pelagic quota shares, the deal also gives the UK and Norway reciprocal access to each other’s waters to catch up to 20,000t of herring in 2023.
Claiming the deal as a successful outcome for the UK, fisheries minister Mark Spencer said: “I’m delighted to reach a deal with Norway for 2023 which gives UK fishing vessels access to key fish stocks and quota in the North Sea and Arctic, and look forward to continuing to work collaboratively with Norway and other coastal states to manage fishing sustainably.
“The agreement highlights both parties’ continued commitment to manage fisheries sustainably and support the long-term viability of stocks in the North Sea. It sits alongside a separate arrangement the UK has with Norway under which we expect over 5,200t of additional Arctic opportunities to be transferred to the UK in 2023.
“In total, this should provide the UK fleet with over 6,000t of fishing opportunities in Arctic waters.”

Nobody has commented on Brexit for a while. Going well isn't it?
6 years after the vote and 3 years after we left and I'm still not seeing those sunlit uplands we were promised.
Many a poster on here predicted it would get better after a couple of years. It hasn't has it?
