Lets hope it doesn’t start with a bang!
The M4 in south Wales is to become a “hydrogen highway”, with alternative energy refuelling points, Welsh Secretary, Peter Hain, has announced.
The scheme, to extend into south west England, is aimed at making hydrogen and electric-powered vehicles a viable alternative to petrol-driven machines. Under the plan, Wales will lead in developing alternative fuels, including hydrogen from renewable sources.
The aim is to create an extensive renewable refuelling infrastructure.
Question is, where will the hydrogen come from? We would like to see a wind turbine at every site to generate the fuel cleanly from wind power.
