Five years ago I bought an end-of-life house in a 5-acre plot in W Berkshire, just over an hour from W London. It's a magical spot, with views over the Kennet Valley towards Watership Down. Sadly, we have concluded we can't complete the redevelopment. Is it for you?

Actually they aren't £10k, more like £2k. The installation that drives up the cost. There are usually some ancillary works to be done - change a couple of radiators, find a place for the external unit, install a hot water tank. And then lots of bureaucracy, because of heating industry opposition.

The first truly successful company I created was Sports News Television SNTV, a joint venture between the The Associated Press and IMG.

Today it turns 30 - still the world leader in creating and distributing sports news video, as it was the day we launched it.

Happy birthday SNTV!

Easter egg: FCEV stands for Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle, ie hydrogen cars. There aren't any. In fact, in the whole IEA report, the word hydrogen appears a grand total of zero times.

$800m > $300m, it seems. All joking aside, there's a good reason FedEx, UPS, NYC cabs and other large fleet management co's have driven EV adoption from the very beginning.

Hydrogen buses don't and never will cost "the same or even less than diesel". That's what trial after trial has demonstrated. Even at USD 10 per gallon diesel, you would need retail hydrogen at $6.60/kg, and that's before you pay 3x for your buses. Unsubsidised green hydrogen retails at over $30/kg.
