It's a nice #SunnyDay outside and it really feels like spring. The #bees are busy making use of the #flowers, while the flowers are busy making use of the bees.
The #UK #ElectricyDemand is currently 32 GW and of that, 25.2% is coming from #SolarEnergy, 17.1% is coming from #WindEnergy, 16.8% is coming from #NuclearEnergy and 9.9% is coming from #Biomass and only 7% is coming from #Gas. There is also a fair amount coming from continental Europe through the various interconnections.

In my opinion, it was a silly idea to replace natural gas infrastructure with hydrogen burning, primarily because it is not produced in an environmentally friendly way and the current method pumps out lots of #GreenhouseGases and #Pollution, thus negating the supposed benefit of burning it. Better to heat houses with #HeatPumps powered from renewable sources.

There has been a big increase in the interest of the use of #HydrogenEnergy over the past few years but it is only meaning as a combat against #GreenhouseGases if it is produced using #RenewableEnergy. Most #Hydrogen currently is produced using #FossilFuels as so-called #BlueHydrogen which is a huge source of #Emissions of #CarbonDioxide.
