The article challenges the narrative of a false choice between blue hydrogen with carbon capture and storage (CCS) and nuclear power for Bacton, emphasizing the need for a broader consideration of clean energy options. It criticizes the influence of fossil fuels and nuclear industries on public discourse and advocates for cleaner alternatives like green hydrogen and long-duration energy storage (LDES) powered by excess renewable energy. The piece highlights the potential for Norfolk to take the lead in developing innovative energy storage solutions such as liquid air energy storage (LAES) and pumped hydro, which could provide cleaner and quicker-to-implement alternatives to nuclear or blue hydrogen plants. It questions the government's Clean Power 2030 Action Plan and raises concerns about the environmental risks associated with blue hydrogen production and nuclear power. The article also discusses the ongoing legal action being taken against the government regarding carbon capture and storage (CCS), citing concerns about its high-risk nature and potential climate impact. It calls for decision-makers to prioritize the most current scientific evidence when planning future energy infrastructure, rather than being swayed by powerful industry interests. The piece ends with an invitation to politicians and stakeholders, including MP Steffan Aquarone and Ed Miliband, to engage in a dialogue informed by the latest scientific understanding of clean energy technologies.
