Ben Houchen has been re-elected as metro-Mayor of Teesside partly because of his enthusiasm for green hydrogen with industry backing, many jobs in prospect, plus great possibilities for engineering, chemical industry and much cheaper energy prices. Also he saved Tees Airport from oblivion. Citizens recognise their airport as a big local asset as aircraft go more electric, more hydrogen and more convenient. Remember when Houchen started a small 2021 hydrogen bus-project in Stockton linking to the airport, injecting £1M into experiments and demonstrations near the airport. This has since expanded into a larger project which could have major influence on UK hydrogen buses and trucks that should spread across Britain saving energy, emissions and Climate change. No other politician has gone so far. We need more visionaries like him.
