I agree with a lot of the logic and good information given by Derek. But I can’t agree that H2 is the general answer. Very inefficient production proc...
Dan i haven’t changed my Octopus DD yet. We were on £45/m for cooking, dishwasher, EVs, etc before. Plus the oil delivery once per year. I’m guessin...
