Shell quietly pulls the plug on hydrogen in the UK

Nothing to add, except every time I see this thread I think its aimed at me

Actually I put it up for Cromwell to look at. Because there is so much spun news about how the Hydrogen EV is going to take over the world that it can only be countered by decisions like this.

If nobody is serving fuel to HFEV, then HFEV is not going to sell. The reason nobody is serving fuel is because they didn't sell.......

Which came first, the chicken or the egg?

The egg of course. It just wasn't laid by a chicken!

You claimed that progress with certain processes had been virtually static since 1900. It is simply not true. They are light years ahead of that time, as you well know. I was just pointing out that the same is true for BEVs.

My 1967 Ford Cortina 1600 was a cracker, but it had no power and only did about 32 MPG. It was incomparable to the Ford T and miles behind the Dacia Sondero with its 999 cc and 5 speed gearbox.

Many people believe that BEVs were "invented" in the 21st century. That is also not true, that's all I was saying.

Correct. But just like your cars, modern EVs do not inhabit the same space as their 19th century forebears.

Although early rolls Royce cars managed to produce smooth, quiet and comfortable vehicles with decent range by dint of larger fuel tanks.

Even rudimentary aircon dates back to the 1930's.

Also shell, I didn't get the connection. I claim pressure of work.....
