THE great hydrogen hoax is brilliantly exposed by The Ferret in the Sunday National (‘Corporate con’? Big polluting investors are behind the push for hydrogen heating, Apr 22).
The production of hydrogen gas requires the continued use of fossil fuels, which most intelligent people realise are the main driver towards rendering this planet uninhabitable. Today’s youth have much to lose, but how do they deal with entrenched corporate power? Many of the world’s wealthiest investors are behind this move towards a hydrogen-fuelled economy as they scramble to protect their shares at whatever the cost.

Could there not be wiser investments? Do they think their portfolio’s role in polluting the planet will have any value “at the end of the road”? Keep right on “the money boys”, but book your seat on Mr Musk’s flight to Mars in good time. Sadly it’s no joke.
Fearing the political attitude north of the Border, dissolve Holyrood – the aim of “fossils” is to prevent Scottish independence at any price.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
