@Hypx There's a lot wrong with what you said, so I'll attempt to educate you.

The "Green Gas" revolution you're dreaming of will not happen.

The "Hydrogen Revolution" you're dreaming of will not happen.

The suburban gas pipe network and stoves in people's homes that burn fossil gas are unsuitable for burning hydrogen and the high pressures necessary for the transmission of hydrogen. The gas pipes are so leaky that they are affected by the ingress of rainwater during a thunderstorm: in fine weather gas leaks out, and in wet weather water leaks in and causes corrosion and blockages. You may not believe me, but I've seen it with my own eyes.
"Simply add hydrogen" is a fairytale. Our existing infrastructure cannot handle hydrogen.
Therefore, adding hydrogen to the mix would require replacing every gas-pipe from the point of production, through cities, and into homes. And it would require that people renovate their homes to lay hydrogen-rated pipes, and install hydrogen-compatible stoves/ovens. If people are replacing their gas stove/oven, then the whole process is simpler and cheaper to replace it with electric/induction.
This is why hydrogen does not stack-up on a technical level or economic level.

Your ad-hominem attack and remark about Luddites, to put it politely, shows your beliefs about this area of history are deeply flawed.
Luddites weren't anti-technology or ignorant of how to use it. They opposed factory-owners who used factory-updates as an excuse to underpay skilled workers and make inferior-quality goods.
Kevin Binfield wrote that Luddites confined their attacks to manufacturers who used machines in "a fraudulent and deceitful manner" to get around standard labor practices. "They just wanted machines that made high-quality goods," says Binfield, "and they wanted these machines to be run by workers who had gone through an apprenticeship and got paid decent wages. Those were their only concerns."
In other words: and stop .

Labor to give casuals new rights to full-time employment in move to improve job security
theguardian.com/australia-news

It's about time the government stopped companies from mistreating casual workers. Casual workers deserve the same rights as permanent workers if they work the same hours and have been in the role for a while.

Gotta love how the Business Council of Australia hates workers so much that they oppose "same job same pay" and have already started an ad campaign against the proposed improvements.

A Cambodian union leader as co-CEO for @adidas
?! If true, this would be a bold step & we hope her first move will be signing the agreement, stopping union busting & paying the full wages & severance owed to workers! ?

Food delivery services such as offer workers low pay, poor conditions, weird hours, and a lot of danger on the roads.

It's a difficult business-model to justify. The exploits by classifying them as "contractors" instead of employees. Companies like Deliveroo rely on gouging a large cut of the price of your order from restaurants and takeaway food places that already have very slim profit-margins.
