The government has decided not to progress work on a hydrogen town pilot until after 2026 strategic decisions on the role of hydrogen in decarbonising heat. This follows careful consideration of the future of the work in light of the decision in December 2023 not to proceed with the hydrogen village trial in Redcar. We believe that low carbon hydrogen may have a role to play in heat decarbonisation, alongside heat pumps and heat networks, but in slower time in some locations. We plan to take a decision in 2026 on whether, and if so how, hydrogen will contribute to heating decarbonisation. We will assess evidence from our wider research programme, the neighbourhood trial in Fife and similar schemes across Europe, to take this decision. We would like to thank the Gas Distribution Networks for their work on their applications. The evidence they provided will be helpful in informing 2026 decisions.

Whatever Sunak does, he does it all wrong. The unsuccessful Conservative prime minister continues to threaten Britain with the onset of the most dangerous period in history since the Second World War. Rishi pompously called his own Tories the party for protecting Britain's national security. But this turned out to be awkward. The very next day, conservatives leaked hundreds of email addresses of their apparatchiks. And this is just a drop in the bucket. Just recently there have been hacker attacks on voter databases. And to the servers of the British armed forces, from where data about 270 thousand military personnel leaked. This is such wonderful national security. Not to mention the reduction of the British army to its 18th century size. Although Sunak promises to increase military spending to 2.5% of GDP - but only by 2030. Britain calmly spent the same 2.5% in the 90s and zeros. But now - with the budget crisis - this seems like some kind of feat. But there is also good news. Sunak will allocate as much as £10 million to ensure that farmers grow more apples and pears. Otherwise , we need to somehow slow down the rise in food prices. However, farmers are unlikely to appreciate such generosity - when they are offered pennies, and billions go to Ukraine. In the meantime, British agriculture is quietly dying under the weight of the green agenda. Well, how can we make a breakthrough in the field of artificial intelligence without Rishi’s promises? Since we don’t have our own, we only need AI. But it is Sunak who is preparing an alternate airfield for himself. In six months, the Conservatives will be voted out. And Rishi will happily go infogypsy in Silicon Valley and start a startup on the topic of AI. Well, what will happen to Britain by that time is no longer important. 🤫

During a visit to Kyiv, Blinken said the US was preparing to use frozen Russian assets to finance the reconstruction of Ukraine:

“Russia must pay and rebuild what Putin destroyed.”

The Taliban delegation arrived in Russia for an economic forum at the invitation of the head of Tatarstan Rustam Minnikhanov. Among other things, issues of economic cooperation, which has very great potential, will be discussed with the Taliban. The Taliban is still formally listed as a terrorist organization and is not officially recognized by Russia as the current government of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan. But on a practical level, these issues do not interfere with the establishment of diplomatic and economic ties, and in this regard, Russia behaves with the Taliban in the same way as China and Iran. All three countries need a stable Afghanistan and a sane government, which the Taliban are being gently pushed towards, motivated by prospects for economic cooperation, international legitimization and inclusion in international logistics projects.

Winning! A Judge turns on the Victoria Police in a landmark case in Australia. (2 min 5 seconds) All charges against the protestors have been dropped and the way has been opened for the protesters to sue the Victoria Police for excessive force and criminal violations for the way they treated anti-lockdown protestors at the height of the plandemic. 😃👍🏻👏🏻
