"Renault and Aston Martin backer Geely to launch UK firm injecting £6bn and creating 19,000 jobs"
Gosh, doesn't that sound great? Tory MPs and the RW press have been feasting on the story.
Pity it's not true.
Let's take this step by step...

Boris Johnson's resignation honours list should be cancelled. Nobody should be seen to benefit from that carnival of disgrace, chaos and contempt for ordinary British people that he oversaw. Bin it. Bin the lot of it.

look, hydrogen has a massive role to play in decarbonising, starting with itself. Many industries will need it.
But using it for heating is genuinely crazy.
And consumers are being asked to pay for it.
If it made any sense, it wouldn’t need 120 lobbyists in UK parliament alone
Mr Michael A Daly retweeted
Producing green hydrogen in the Uk will use 6x more electricity than heat pumps.
If they mean blue hydrogen, it’s made from gas and costs loads more than gas.
Actual science.
Btw- 97% of the worlds hydrogen is currently grey - trashing the climate. Maybe they should sort that

I spent 18 months and had numerous face to face meetings warning MPs and ministers that the U.K. urgently needed to build battery factories otherwise Rules of Origin would make our motor industry uncompetitive. But Govt was too busy with their vainglorious popularity contest.

If anyone mentions carbon capture and storage (CCS), like it's a thing, or e-fuels, like it's a thing, show them this.
It's not a thing
To celebrate the COP28 host talking up carbon capture as a way to continue using fossil fuels well into the future [reuters.com/business/environ…], here's a chart showing the amount released by those companies, vs the amount captured

Karl, you need to do some urgent research. Most first generation EV batteries are still working fine 12 years later and newer ones are already hitting 200,000 + miles. You’re letting yourself down by not knowing this stuff. – at Stratford-Upon-Avon, England
The Government is absolving itself of responsibility expecting regular people to pay corporate interests for new electric vehicles, which are not as financially nor environmentally attractive over their ‘full life’ as ICE vehicles are, to meet their environmental targets.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
EVs do produce substantially less carbon over their full lifecycle than ICE vehicles (petrol or diesel).
Studies generally find the carbon payback time to be less than 15,000 miles and the ‘full life’ emissions to be substantially lower.

How the hell can @iainastewart and the Conservatives post this as a positive thing!! We should be ashamed that people have to use food banks not proud of the way they are run!!

It will take until 2030 to reign in the current bout of hydrogen mania, embark on a real plan to eliminate the 2.3% of emissions currently caused by 94 Mt/year of grey & black hydrogen, and target its use on a few otherwise hard-to-decarbonise sectors. We are in the foothills. 1/

The fact anyone is talking about putting liquid hydrogen on our roads & seas and in airports & ports is a sign of the moment of madness we are living through.
Note: I'm not anti-hydrogen: I'm anti-stupid, anti-waste, and former chair of a transit authority boards's safety panel.
