The fossil fuel propagandists have started spending their 2025 propaganda budget millions to again promote the Hydrogen Square Wheel. With a very few niche exceptions Electricity is cheaper, easier, safer, more maintainable, cleaner and exists today.


So please remind yourself why Hydrogen is a SQUARE wheel.... (and pass this on).


  • 98% of the present worlds supply of Hydrogen (about 100million tonnes) is made from Methane.

  • Hydrogen creation pollutes more than all Global Aviation combined (Approximately 800m tonnes per year).

  • It is very difficult to transport. You cannot use existing pipes for long it makes them brittle and leak.

  • Transportation, ground and sea, is very difficult. You pressurise it to 10,000 pounds per square inch or liquify it to minus 250deg C and then use fossil fuels to move it around.

  • You cannot use it with existing hobs or boilers.. the burners are not compatible.

  • It is susceptible to leaks, being our smallest molecule and it really like to go BANG.

  • Electrolysers are very expensive, need pure water and the big one.. are powered by electricity... so why not use this electricity as, well electricity in the first place.


Robbie Llewellyn has just released his you tube monthly humorous summary HERE on other fossil fuel sponsored propaganda including carbon capture, wind farms killing whales, Electric Vehicle Battery life and more. Its an enjoyable half an hour watch. Be good to get our politicians to watch it too, although their fossil fuel addiction will not go Cold Turkey any time soon!
