  1. It's one of the options, and as such, it's essential that it is developed. No one system is going to dominate in the CO2 net zero future.

  2. Simple solution. Governments must require the drinks companies remove the same weight of plastic as they sell.

  3. In the UK, only money counts, and unless someone with connections to the Tories is going to massively profit, it won't happen. In Russia, where I used to live, things are happening, but slowly. I remain optimistic that there will eventually be a really high speed link right across the country, Petersburg to Vladivostok via Moscow, Ekaterinburg, Irkutsk, etc. Maybe one day even a line to the far north, connecting Petrozavodsk. Now that would really be amazing! (But very unlikely.)

  4. Well, it’s degrowth and new metrics, or die out. The only major obstacle is, as usual, political inertia (in the grip of Big Finance). Very few people want to change anything that might affect the future when they’re comfortable now.

  5. This requires governmental cooperation to resist cococola & Pepsi.

  6. Entirely green hydrogen is not going to happen any time soon. Government, major players and the public need to pressurise industry to agree on a unified batter exchange system. It’s obviously the best solution.

  7. Relying on governments anywhere is a waste of time. Politics the world over is corrupt and controlled by money. The only solutions are through local action.
