  1. What I have read with great “joy, hope and admiration” (quote below):
    -“…In the £32m project, National Grid will…”
    – “…Green hydrogen is produced by splitting water using electricity from renewables, with minimal emissions. Under the plans, an existing 7 megawatt, 200-metre-high offshore wind turbine would be used to power an electrolyser on the nearby Fife Energy Park before the hydrogen is stored and transported to homes through a newly laid network of pipes.
    – “…Six huge tanks will store five tonnes of hydrogen – enough for around five peak days…”
    My Grandma, asked me softly, smiling somehow mocking of me: dear, wouldn’t it be better to heat those huge tanks filled with still water (even bubble to “pollute”with some CO2) instead of hydrogen ?…and afterwards, I couldn’t stop her laughing…just make a big coffee maker from those tanks…
