The latest totally daft idea . . .

 . . from the Global Warming Fraudsters is to replace the natural gas piped to domestic customers with hugely more explosive hydrogen. Anyone remember the Hindenburg? “Oh, the humanity!”
    The scam involves pumping methane and steam into a steam/methane reformer to obtain hydrogen and carbon dioxide. The hydrogen is then gaily piped out through cities, leaving them liable to explosions which will take out complete streets, instead of the single houses claimed by a natural gas explosion. The carbon dioxide will be pumped into disused North Sea gas fields using carbon capture and storage technology, which is just GWF pie-in-the-sky and flim-flam, and will remain so for decades
    The energy gap between burning methane as a primary fuel and all the palaver of extracting hydrogen, storing carbon dioxide and rebuilding the gas distribution network to allow it to be moderately safe when full of hydrogen is ENORMOUS.
    Of course, there are other small details like the cost of adapting or replacing every gas boiler, fire and cooker in the land to run with hydrogen. And, no doubt, there are gangs of terrorists salivating shamelessly at the thought of the size of the explosion they could trigger with very little effort. But that’s not likely to trouble the Global Warming Fraudsters as they laugh their way to the bank with bundles of taxpayers’ money in their hot, sticky hands.
