- Increased risk to environment. i.e Badger setts during building and also from CO2 leaking afterwards. Obviously other animals are also at risk - Acidification risks of CO2 Leaks to all watercourses connected along the county, built mostly on limestone full of caverns. - Damage to limestone stability if small co2 leaks - Overall disagreement that hydrogen should receive shy of a billion investment when we already know renewable is cheaper. - Clear greenwashing of companies to pour their cO2 and pretend to be green, using millions of public funds. - Hydrogen for homes not proven. Nor will homes, longer term, require as much energy input due to better home standards like passif house. Making changing infrastructure a waste, while electricity grids go with little investment given capacity need and increase in use. - do not wish Wales to be used as the exhaust for companies in England
