Great to see King Charles III visiting JCB’s headquarters to celebrate their 80th anniversary. Among the highlights was a demonstration of just how easy it is to fuel up with green hydrogen—a pivotal moment for sustainable construction and beyond.

But what followed was… surprising. The visit provoked a flurry of furious anti-hydrogen comments across various platforms.

How did we get here? Why has energy become such a battleground? Shouldn’t fuel choices—whether hydrogen, electricity, biofuels, or hybrids—be based on personal preference, practicality, and economics?

Surely in a democracy, the best solution isn’t dictated by ideology but discovered through innovation, investment, and real-world application. The key is having options—not shutting doors before they’ve been fully explored.

Why do some people feel so strongly about which fuels can or can’t be used?
