My thoughts in Energy Voice on how Aberdeen needs to get moving with the energy transition and the hydrogen economy:

Extract:
Question:
Was Aberdeen right to order a new fleet of hydrogen-powered double-decker buses - or was Coventry right to go electric instead?
Answer:
Trick question: they were both right. Congrats to both cities for taking an early lead in zero-emission transportation. And for creating new business and employment opportunities in the process.
By contrast, the wrong answer would be to spend years arguing over perfect solutions, leaving British workers on the scrapheap and the UK lagging behind in the global energy transition. Right now, no-one knows definitively which technology option will turn out better. And by the time we do, both sets of buses will be a decade old and due for replacement, anyway.
