Europe's betting big on hydrogen – despite a lot of drawbacks. Is the continent's hydrogen strategy overblown? And if so…why? #planeta #hydrogen #europeanunion We're destroying our environment at an alarming rate. But it doesn't need to be this way.

We look at the big and the small: What we can do and how the system needs to change. Every Friday we'll take a truly global look at how to get us out of this mess.
