GPSguru Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 They will start on commercial shipping first as that will be where most gains can be made. The new Brittany ferries are using hydrogen fuel cell technology. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saintly Fish Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Next will most likely be a natural gas to hydrogen gas conversion for domestic use. It’s just not possible for every household to run a heat pump. jonnyswamp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just all depends on which way the industry swings. In my opinion, a gas conversion is the next step. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonC Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 I was amazed that anyone was surprised by today’s announcements. Everyone knows that we are wrecking the planet already. The hard thing is getting us to change our habits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About 10 years ago I was speaking to a guy in France ( he was English) about his heating system that is powered/ supplied by water from hundreds of meters below his house, the setup was staggeringly expensive but I guess it may become affordable if it’s mass produced.

Ground source heat pumps have been arounD for donkeys years. Trouble is they take up too much room. Not so much the boiler but the actual heat source collectors.

To be fair no mainstream political parties are going to financially penalise their voters through fear of not being re-elected so we are stuck with what we have. This is getting a bit close to a political conversation brooding let’s just go back to digging at each other to maintain the status quo.

Yes, just like all the other new boiler schemes that have come and gone Shit installs where someone has just thrown an entry level boiler on the wall and walked away And the bill to local gov is around the 4/5 k mark Saintly Fish 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDP Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Plenty of electric cars, outboards and inboards already in use, as well as bio diesel engines. As for other ways to improve how we live, Ive been looking into these homes as my next move https://www.atomic6.com.au open the pricing to see the designs and costs which are bellow half the cost of a traditional build. I don't think the term global warming is used much anymore, its now Climate change. We currently have sea temps at bellow 13'c locally, coldest in the past is around 16'c. In summer we are getting water temps about 2'c higher than average and day temps close to 50'c, hence the fires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saintly Fish Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Climate change……. This is probably a better phrase. Caused more by the earth twisting on its axis more than by man. If the world is warming then why is Australia water getting colder? Im not saying the world isn’t changing, just saying that no matter what we do it will still happen, because that’s just the way of things. It’s a cycle that will happen regardless. But those in power use it as a con to tax more and keep things and industries moving on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suzook12 Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 I think the PC Greens have gone too far with things, stating cows are bad for the environment. huge friggin herds of em used to roam free, feeding the odd carnivour as they went. Having said that, I would be inclined to clean my act up more when they stop doing things like decimating the rain forests which probably affects our weather patterns more than they realise. As for the rest of it, we are heading towards our own extinction where we will screw the planet up that much it becomes unhabitable. Maybe if we got rid of 75% of the population now, we will be ok? captin slows old outlaw 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
