Cliffy falls of a cliff as she trolls the standard Greeny garbage. Is she a Tesla Fan Girl too ?

Her idiotic comparison is puerile and banal as there are millions more petrol and diesel cars than the unsafe dangerous very inconvenient Telsa toy cars which have a high incidence of crashes and lithium fire bomb explosions with clouds of poisonous gas being released and wheels falling off when the crummy suspension breaks.

And just for Cliffy who is so out of touch.


Tesla S comes to grief and adds to the frightening number of Tesla front end crashes.

From the dregs of society crawls the sick mentally disturbed loony Greeny Scunge eager to display her legendary ignorance. She is just trying to get attention as she is normally ignored as a waste of space that is not worth feeding.

But to keep the NORMAL PEOPLE focused on how unsafe and dangerous these useless very inconvenient pollution spewing electric toy cars really are.



Tesla 3 takes on a pole. Unexpected acceleration or lousy brakes ? Wonder how the pole is ?

Over in London the MPs are getting into the next future generation of hydrogen powered pollution free vehicles.

Hydrogen is following a similar pattern as petrol did in the early days when there were no filling stations and the current huge petrol infrastructure was being developed into what it is today.

Look at how complex the refining of crude oil is today.



Chris Grayling MP is first to drive one of the Green Tomato Cars

New Fleet of 50 Toyota Mirai Fuel Cell Electric Saloons

Chris Grayling MP was the first person to drive one of 50 new Toyota Mirai hydrogen fuel cell electric saloons that are joining the London fleet of green private hire company Green Tomato Cars. He made the short journey from the Department for Transport offices in Westminster, with Jonny Goldstone, Green Tomato Cars co-founder and Managing Director and Paul Van der Burgh, Toyota GB President and Managing Director.

Chris Grayling said: ‘I was thoroughly impressed by the Toyota Mirai today and was delighted to be the first passenger in one of Green Tomato Cars’ new zero – emission vehicles. Improvements in hydrogen infrastructure over the last year and the developing partnerships between the hydrogen power providers, manufacturers of hydrogen vehicles and end users, are helping accelerate the decarbonisation of road transport.’



The new cars are being provided with the support of the UK’s Office for Low Emission Vehicles (OLEV*) Hydrogen for Transport Program and the Zero Emission Fleet vehicles For European Roll-Out(ZEFER**) program, an EU project, funded by the Fuel Cell and Hydrogen Joint Undertaking (FCH JU***).

Green Tomato Cars is taking delivery of 25 of the zero emission Mirai cars now, with another 25 due to be delivered in September. These vehicles will offer the same service as the current premium ‘Black Car’ service and will also be allocated to standard bookings across London and the Home Counties, 24/7.

Jonny Goldstone, MD and co-founder of Green Tomato Cars comments: “We’re very proud to have pioneered hydrogen powered transport in London and are delighted with the performance of our two original Toyota Mirai. This is a truly unique project where investors in hydrogen technology, manufacturers of hydrogen cars and Green Tomato Cars as the end users, have come together with a commitment to make hydrogen transport workfor the good of the people and the environment.

We’d like to thank OLEV, the FCH JU and Toyota for their support in helping us acquire such a significant number of these innovative cars. We’ve already seen lots of demand for our zero emission Mirai hydrogen cars from our major corporate clients, as well as a green room of celebrities and hundreds of our regular private individual customers. We can’t wait to put the new cars on the road and drive into the future”.

Paul Van der Burgh, Managing Director and President of Toyota GB PLC commented: ‘We’re delighted that Green Tomato Cars have been happy with their Toyota Mirai cars and that they are taking 50 more. It’s clear that confidence in hydrogen powered transport is growing among end users, which is another step in the path towards a hydrogen society.’

The Mirai are expected to do the same average mileage as other cars on the Green Tomato Cars fleet, around 120-150 miles a day. A Mirai can travel up to 300 miles on a full tank of hydrogen, so the private hire cars should be refuelling every two dayson average. Improvements in hydrogen infrastructure have
increased the viability of hydrogen powered transport in the UK. Over the last year several new hydrogen fuelling stations have opened across the UK. There are a total of six stations within and around the M25 (including one in Hendon) with more expected to be operational by the end of the year.

Green Tomato Cars was the first private hire company in Europe to take on hydrogen fuel cell cars in Europe, having had two Toyota Mirai cars on its fleet since 2015 completing over 25,000 miles a year in normal commercial operation.

Green Tomato Cars has embarked on a significant recruitment project, taking on employee drivers(for the first time in the company’s history) for the new Mirai cars. This will ensure the right balance of these unique cars in service at any given time. An additional benefit will be that the company can test the viability of the employee model in terms of efficiency, quality of service, driver engagement and passenger satisfaction, compared with the current
model in which current drivers are independent contractors working on a flexible ‘earn-as-you-drive’ basis. Recruitment is open to current Green Tomato drivers and new applicants.

what an ignorant post.  no clue about reality. the idiot liar has no clue of reality.  very sad.. poor dear... just doesnt understand science.

The ignorant idiot Greeny pests Cliff and Scunge just make themselves look even more pathetically ridiculous.

These low forms of life are normally ignored as just a waste of space and so these creeps try to get attention.

The low form of "life" the loony Greeny Scunge just keeps crawling around hoping to get noticed. What a waste of space that is not worth feeding this silly coot is.

Now getting away from the unbelievably ignorant unbalanced undesirables and back to the topic.

London coppers are already on the way to their hydrogen future.



Met trials fleet of hydrogen-powered vehicles as part of zero emissions program
News   •   Oct 08, 2019 20:01 BST


Hydrogen powered London coppers are chasing the evil pollution spewing electric cars into the junk yards.

The Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) has launched an ambitious programme to achieve zero emissions across its vehicles by 2050, and as part of this now trialling a fleet of hydrogen-powered vehicles.

Hydrogen and fuel cell power have come into sharper focus in the UK in recent years as a potential emissions-free alternative to traditional energy sources.

The MPS is embracing clean energy technology and is continuously exploring new ways to reduce emissions via alternative fuel and energy.

Seth Finkelstein, the Met’s Fleet Services Air Quality lead, said: “Alongside our existing fleet of hybrid and electric cars, we want to explore whether hydrogen power could also become part of our future.

“Tuesday, 8 October, is becoming recognised around the world as Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Day and it is increasingly clear that the role of hydrogen and fuel cell power will play an important role on this journey.

We have a range of zero and ultra-low emission vehicles (including hybrids, fully electric, and hydrogen) as part of our fleet, in fact, we now have over 500 of these in operational roles.

We are striving to increase this amount as we move forward and are continuously engaging with vehicle manufacturers around new technologies and are open to trial all new technology that can support our operational requirements, such as hydrogen and fuel cell power.

It should be noted however, that as new technology is rolled out, there are always barriers to overcome. In this instance, it’s the availability of hydrogen refuelling stations that will need to be addressed to help further the use of these vehicles.”

The inevitable rise of Hydrogen is being embraced even underground.




The Intelligent guide to: hydrogen fuel cells for mining
BY CARLY LEONIDA 31ST JAN 2019


Only pure clean water comes out of these.

Batteries and battery metals are currently enjoying their moment in the spotlight. But there are alternative technologies for miners looking to reduce their carbon footprint. The Intelligent Miner presents a selection of the best articles on hydrogen fuel cells for mining.

Why hydrogen?
Hydrogen fuel cells, while still at a nascent stage of development for mine vehicles, could offer a viable alternative to traditional style and lithium-based batteries. On a larger scale, they also provide an alternative energy-storage mechanism for off-grid mine sites, and can be applied alongside advanced battery systems and gas or renewable energy sources in order to secure sites a reliable source of low-cost power.

Research firm Grand View Research expects the global fuel cell market to grow to US$24.81 billion by 2025 at a compound average growth rate of 20.9%, and with major miners like Amplats and Fortescue Metals Group investing in the technology, it’s certainly worth consideration for forward thinking miners.

The Rocky Mountain Institute ran an excellent article in September last year from Christopher Jackson, a renewable energy consultant for the World Bank, which explains how hydrogen fuel cells can be applied across the spectrum in mining. You can read it here.

Hydrogen for mine vehicles
Platinum-based hydrogen fuel cells currently exhibit the most promise for use in both passenger and off-highway vehicles. They convert energy stored in chemical form into electricity, cleanly and quietly. Amplats gives a good overview of how the technology works here.

Hydrogen and batteries are often portrayed as competing technologies. However, their relative strengths and weaknesses suggest that they could play complementary roles; battery electric vehicles have a higher overall fuel efficiency as long as they are not too heavy due to large battery sizes, making them well suited for short-distance and lighter vehicles. Hydrogen can store more energy in less weight, making fuel cells suitable for vehicles with heavy payloads and long ranges. Faster refuelling also benefits commercial fleets and other vehicles in near-continuous use. How the technologies relate will depend on how battery technology evolves and how quickly cost reductions from scaling fuel-cell production can be realised.

From 2004-08, the US Department of Energy ran a programme in conjunction with industry partners including Caterpillar, Newmont and Hatch called The Fuel Cell Hybrid Mine Loader Project. The project had three main goals: to develop a fuel cell powered LHD, to develop associated metal-hydrid storage and refuelling systems, and to demonstrate the hybrid loader in an underground mine in Nevada. The full report published in 2009 is available here and makes good reading for those interested in the technical aspects of fuel cells.

The team found that, although hydrogen fuel cell power plants are technically ready to power underground mining vehicles, the underground mining industry is a relatively small market compared to mobile surface markets, and as such, it is difficult to attract the necessary capital investment to put fuel cell powered vehicles into commercial production.

Given the recent level of interest in batteries for mining vehicles, their more advanced state of development and lower price point, this is where most major OEMs and miners are focusing their efforts, particularly for underground equipment models which are smaller and more easily powered. Hydrogen fuelled trucks and loaders, while technically feasible are still a way off of commercialisation. However, as the market for fuel-cell powered on-highway vehicles matures, so too will the technologies for off-highway applications.

Hydrogen for energy supply
More widely understood and commercially proven, hydrogen fuel cells for microgrids are gaining traction, particularly in major mining markets such as Australia.

Brisbane hosted a major conference dedicated to hydrogen energy in August 2018. The Coalition for Eco Efficient Comminution produced a report summarising key finding and featuring many of the presentations which you can read here. There was also a good presentation at the Energy and Mines conference which was held in Australia in June 2018 on de-risking mining operations with renewable hydrogen energy systems.

The Australian government is providing substantial backing for the development and implementation of hydrogen-based technologies and national research agency CSIRO announced in 2017 that it had made a major breakthrough in the use of ammonia for the storage and transport of hydrogen destined for fuel cells. This was followed by the creation of a A$20 million partnership with FMG in Nov 2018 to commercialise the technology.

At the International Conference on Hydrogen from Renewable Energies, New Opportunities for Chile held in 2017, engineering consultants from AdapTec also presented their ideas for a hydrogen-powered mine village and also hydrogen fuel-cell powered vehicles.
