Rename Social benefits as subsidiaries it should then pass though the budget.

That is irrelevant to the topic.

The reason why hydrogen is produced by steam reforming is because natural gas is cheap and is needed to produce ammonia. In Norway where there is plenty of cheap electricity from hydroelectric, there is hydrogen production via electrolysis.

The advantage of hydrogen as fuel is that can be used to decarbonise things like ships, and possibly things like branch rail lines, and planes. Passenger vehicle is probably the least attractive application, but somewhat lower capital investment than a green hydrogen plant on a industrial scale.

However this can only make sense if electricity is cheap i.e. if they are running with waste electricity from renewables.

Hydrogen is a gas, under very high pressure but you will never find it in a liquid form unless you cool it down to -250 C or so. It's not used in liquid form for such applications.

There is though the need to chill the hydrogen to about -20/-40C before delivery to the vehicles due to some anomalous properties of hydrogen respect to ever other gas known to humans.

It might be just internal politics before an election.

In this case it seems farmers. Maybe it's just posturing for appeasing them.

Extract from the Economist:

Eastern european countries have been among the staunchest supporters of Ukraine since Russia invaded last year. But that solidarity has frayed over the issue of agricultural exports. European Union member states that border Ukraine have argued that the duty-free import of Ukrainian produce to the bloc has caused havoc in their own markets

That's quite a challenge 45 minutes in hot weather. Specially if there is not shade

I never seen a standing desk honestly, I thought it was a meme more than anything else.

It doesn't bother you looking up or are you a giraffe ?🦒

Unions are all workers friend, but they are not your advocate. If your salary is up to the agreed national contract and there is little they can do.

it depends on the country, and where exactly you work, but in many countries (ehem Italia) they are somewhat too comfortable with the company management to be effective at their job.

okay so it's just counting the small/branch lines not the whole network.
