Cost effective and efficient means of supplying energy must be considered for the short, medium and long term. Wind farms and solar panels are not visually appealing and are expensive given production/installation costs, subsidies, back-up requirements and relative lifespan. Other energy sources such as hydrogen fuel cells are a good long term option for light/heavy transport, aviation and shipping and while currently expensive to produce, they offer great long term opportunities, particularly for a region with the sea on two sides, a huge component in hydrogen production. A combination of all energy sources is the longer term way forward
