Boilers that can be converted to using hydrogen are to be exempt.
Like theres ever gonna be a domestic hydrogen supply€¦
Seriously, if we *do* go down the route of manufacturing hydrogen Im
pretty sure itll be reserved for uses where rapid refuelling is
required,
not squandered on domestic heating.
Rapid/load balancing can be handled by other means. Long term storage
for winter is the real problem in the UK. Hydrogen can be stored.
Not nearly as safely as plutonium
But TBF harder to weaponise.
No, MUCH much easier.
A thin walled tank of hydrogen driven into a town centre with a
detonator strapped to the outside... any rag head can do that.
Making a nuclear weapon is a very very skilled exercise in precision
mechanics.
You need to machine the elements to fit exactly without being able to
put them together first, and then design an explosive detonator to slam
them all together at exactly the same time
Not if you just grind it into dust and scatter it or blow it up with
conventional explosives.
