The UK hydrogen economy is advancing rapidly with H2 applications and subsidies in every sector from industry, H2 to power, agriculture/mining, heavy road transport, aviation, shipping, energy storage etc
With CCS now predicted to receive £50 billion in subsidies, much of this will be blue hydrogen

No mention of safe, meltdown proof, cheap, non-proliferating thorium reactors
Added bonus - no water required for cooling, etc

The Chinese are successfully operating thorium reactors currently, so we just need to wait for this to scale

Who cares? Thorium is cheaper, safer, and not automatically producing plutonium
Seems like you might have some stake in maintaining the status quo..

Why go to the trouble of building current reactor designs which require massive contingency measures, double-walled cores etc etc, rather than building thorium? Current reactors are designed to produce weapons
Also, what is 'DrCrlsnPE' anyway?

They also don't require water for cooling, which is going to become more and more of a problem for conventional uranium reactors
And the Chinese reactors will be producing hydrogen by default - something that I am sure is going to become standard for all nuclear, once infrastructure is built

Nuclear will start accelerating once thorium reactors go mainstream. Being passively cooled and melt-down proof (!) while also not producing plutonium for weapons production, thorium reactors will be infinitely cheaper

The Middle East and North Africa are ready to supply hydrogen, but they need the pipelines to lower the delivery cost. It won't start accelerating until these pipelines are built
But the 660TWh planned by the Commission was always ambitious - 6.5% of total EU energy demand in only 5 years!

With hydrogen infrastructure in place, the industry will start picking up speed
The $5bn Neom facility in Saudi Arabia is now 80% complete, and by 2030 the South H2 corridor should be built, meaning much lower delivery prices
€2.30-2.70/kg is around the corner, which is the same price as coal

China already have non-weaponising, passive cooling thorium reactors
They are much cheaper to build because they do not require contingencies for any potential meltdown

Awesome. I also love your perspective on fracking.
Opinion | Could Fracking Actually Help the Climate?
Biden and Harris are right to be skeptical of calls to ban hydraulic fracturing, and the science on climate change backs them up.

Because our corrupt banking system (ECB - front group for fossil fuel industry) has effectively blocked funding for offshore wind (high capex), the only energy transition that is happening is completely funded by China: solar panels, batteries, and soon electrolysers

What absolute horseshit
China is building 74% of ALL solar and wind projects globally, almost all EVs, produces 90% of all batteries, is approaching 30% hydrogen market share in trucks, etc
Meanwhile, the Commission have effectively buried any hope for hydrogen in regulation, 2040 goal a charade..
