There wouldn't be much of anything if the flat-earthers were still in charge.

Re: This is fascinating but I don't understand it
WE had an article on TV the other night about a new form of air transport which looks very much like the old time blimps.
It will travel at all of 90 miles an hour and the presenter said due to it's negative climate effect it is the way if the future???????????????????

Re: This is fascinating but I don't understand it
Johno. that old "way of the future" has been around for yonks, except for a wee period around the time the Hindenburg went belly up in Manchester Township, New Jersey, USA.. Lighter than air ships seem to come and go nowhere.
Still if the seats in this wave of the future give's descent leg room and don't charge for a bag of nuts I might consider travelling by air again. My last flight was awful.
Cheers, Rodders.

Re: This is fascinating but I don't understand it
Listening to the radio today they had a green on who is suggesting that we run our power stations along with many other things on hydrogen fuel and he is talking about hydrogen gas replacing the town mains gas starting in the northeast when he was asked how they make the hydrogen they reverse a process of methane use the hydrogen content in it and the CO2 produced they pump down mine shafts so basically we don't save the world from the carbon we just hide it
