@mcnees A childhood with space for patience, attentiveness, and curiosity is not as common as it should be.

@quixoticgeek Beats me. I do wonder if it’s an English not-invented-here thing. Twenty-plus years ago I’d be impressed with district heating, ground-source heat pumps, early Vestas turbines, only to be met with confused stares back in the UK.

@Porcia @quixoticgeek
Yes to all of the above. Long story short, the domestic gas network will never be safe for hydrogen - you’d need to replace all the lines, valves, regulators, monitors. Even then it would be uninsurable, no customer would take that risk.

Insurers will be busy offloading customers in all the new flood risk areas, they won’t want every other district blown to hell.
