Ed Davey MP told our 2018 Green Libdem conference:

methane gas, it looks like it will be very expensive, take a long
time, and have a lot of political reaction. Most people are used to
their gas boilers and central heating systems, nice and simple with
north sea gas. To rip out all that? I call that politically brave. We
haven't quite worked out how to do that.

Instead there's a lot around Hydrogen (which really wasn't happening
when I was Secretary of State).

Whether or not hydrogen or some other form of hydrogen mix or a
biofuel could be used as a replacement for fossil fuel gas. We're a
long way off from knowing if that is going to happen, so don't rush
off say Ed says hydrogen's the way of the future. it may be, it may
not, we don't know.


Hydrogen is total bollix.
Expensive, inefficient and dangerous.
It will never happen.

Just shove it through the existing pipes.

It will leak out. Its would be massively unsafe. Its a very small
slippery moolecule.

Convert everyone like from
coal to natural gas. Coal gas contained a lot of hydrogen anyway.

And wasnt very safe either.
