We do still have rather alot of coal left in the UK, so that realistic at least.
I wonder, do we have good enough scrubber technology to take those nasty pollutents out of dealing with coal, or is that also tied to cost as well ?
I don't suppose you have any figures off the top of your head on rough costs for the coal route ?
Though I'd rather a more long term solution which doesn't involve using up all our coal..
(I certainly see a niche market for hydrogen powered devices, eg. perhaps vehicles that don't convert easily to other fuels, like its probably difficult to imagine a battery powered JCB, but then I suppose you could just plug in an extension cord ;-) )
