There was a piece on the news last year/year before? where Honda[I think it was]had built a few Hydrogen powered cars for experimental purposes but were unwilling to commit to full production without the infrastructure being in place to fuel them.Of course the infrastructure suppliers wouldn't invest heavily in this until there was more demand from car owners buying them,so a bit of chicken and egg.It's easier and cheaper to install charging points for EVs as they're tapping into an already widespread network.

Japan has 96 public filling stations and Germany 60.

They obviously require investment, i.e. money. We don't have any money, because it's all spent on the NHS. We even have to ask the public to pay for the clapper to be reinstated in Big Ben, so it can proclaim our leaving of the EU on January 31st. Quite an embarrassing start to our new prosperity.

Big Ben doesn't have a clapper.


It's struck by hammer operated off the clock mechanism, which is why it will cost £1/2 million to get it all working again. Which makes spending money on HS2 look like a good investment..........

Half a million? A working lunch for a committee of MP's.

[Migv6 le Frog Fan]

Not to mention the approx. £30 billion we have paid into the EU since the time we voted to leave it, but they used every trick in the book to stop it happening.. Half a million quid is a drop in the ocean.

learn all four Westminster chimes, check you can count to 12, buy some good ear defenders and make sure you've got your heart medication, as you will feel more than hear them. That would be even more true if they were rung rather than struck.

 I suspect that my 10lb sledge 🔨 would produce more of a bing than a bong!

Unfortunately Hydrogen power is only zero emission at the car as the actual fuel it self, is created from natural gas (today) and is quite an inefficient process

Surely the same thing can be said of electric vehicles?

I believe that it's called irony... 

[STEMO]

Surely the same thing can be said of electric vehicles?

No, no! The energy you use for an EV comes from thin air. It's magic, you see. Ask any vegan.

In much the same way that no CO2 is expended in the extraction, transportation, refining or storage of Petrol/Diesel prior to it getting the the filling station forecourt. The fuel faeries are most efficient like that.
