@Scrabble - Yes, agreed. My gas industry contacts are making lots of noise about hydrogen but I don’t really see how it’s going to work at the scales required without CCS, which nobody has so far been able to make work economically. I’m also bitterly disappointed at the lack of progress on energy efficiency measures, which I think have been woefully underfunded and could provide quite a significant reduction in energy consumption at reasonable cost.
I do fundamentally agree that a lot more needs to be done, and I would be in favour of something like a Green New Deal so that we could have a concerted push to deploy viable technologies and overhaul our transit systems. I just think that framing - of a pro-jobs economic stimulus package that will put us on a low-carbon path - has more chance of political success. But maybe that’s me being a lily-livered centrist.
