English: Thank you, Deputy Presiding Officer. Hydrogen energy is an exciting and very interesting technology that can be used to create energy to power cars, HGVs, shipping, and also to heat homes. So, I'm very, very pleased to be able to support Plaid's motion today. Provided this hydrogen itself is sourced from renewable energies, it provides a solution to the pollution that damages health and causes multiple deaths each year in this country. However, as I've pointed out before, unless the pollution created by shipping is addressed, we will never solve the world's pollution problem. But there is hope because of hydrogen. The Race for Water concept ship uses solar power and a hydrogen stack to extend its range when it's away from the equator. Hydrogen engines are also being developed for the use in HGVs as well. Riversimple's approach to designing the cars around the power cell is not only incredibly logical, it's resulted in a car that's a viable prospect with few of the drawbacks of those electric and hybrid cars that are somewhat counterproductive, being a combination of fossil fuel and heavy batteries. The innovation and technological ability of that home-grown company are to be commended, and they're part of a proud tradition of British engineers who split the atom and gave the world the computer. So, let's not make the same mistake that previous generations have, who saw inventions brought into being by British people only to see companies in other countries make a fortune out of them. A key point was raised yesterday in First Minister's questions, when it was said that we should we be careful about putting all of our eggs in the electrical vehicle basket. I fully agree that we should have a mixed source of energy production. We don't want to find ourselves beholden to a cartel in the way that we currently are with petrol and diesel, and a suitable energy mix will prevent that. Electrical vehicles powered by battery are not without damage to the environment, as I've commented on here in the past. The electricity has to be generated, and in the main we're still doing that by use of fossil fuels. The materials for the massive batteries required also need to be mined and processed - a process that's potentially damaging to the environment and human health. Disposal of those batteries is also highly problematic. It's positive from the point of view that electric vehicles don't produce toxic emissions, but under our current power mix, these emissions have simply been shifted elsewhere - they're still going into the atmosphere. Hydrogen-fuelled vehicles don't pose that Hobson's choice. Turning to our amendment, we recognise that widespread introduction of hydrogen-powered vehicles will require an infrastructure that costs money to install. That applied, of course, to the introduction of the horse-drawn carriage in the first place. While once we had staging posts for horse-drawn transport, complete with fodder and stabling, an entire infrastructure had to be created to store, transport and refine, or to produce petrol, diesel and heating oil. Petrol stations are already equipped to deal with combustible fuel, and whilst it's true they would require adaptation to accommodate hydrogen, the task isn't as great as that posed before, at the start of the fossil-fuel vehicle era. I'm sure any key events such as that mentioned in the motion would produce a range of ideas, and I'm fully supportive of the motion from that point of view. But I would ask that we keep the options being considered realistically affordable. We need to ensure that there's a good return on investment, and that the risks of creating the necessary infrastructure, and research and development, and then promotion of the technology is shared fairly between the companies that will profit from it, the Government, and ultimately, the taxpayer. We'll also need buy-in from the public, but that's not going to happen if they fear they're going to be hit with another costly green tax. So, reassurance from Government on that score, I think, would be greatly appreciated. And to that end, I urge you to back UKIP's amendment. Thank you.
Welsh: Diolch, Ddirprwy Lywydd. Mae ynni hydrogen yn dechnoleg gyffrous a diddorol iawn y gellir ei defnyddio i greu ynni ar gyfer pweru ceir, cerbydau nwyddau trwm, llongau, a hefyd i wresogi cartrefi. Felly, rwy'n falch dros ben o allu cefnogi cynnig Plaid Cymru heddiw. Cyhyd â bod yr hydrogen ei hun yn dod o ffynonellau ynni adnewyddadwy, mae'n darparu ateb i'r llygredd sy'n niweidiol i iechyd ac yn achosi marwolaethau niferus bob blwyddyn yn y wlad hon. Fodd bynnag, fel y nodais o'r blaen, oni bai ein bod yn mynd i'r afael â'r llygredd a grëir gan longau, ni fyddwn byth yn datrys problem llygredd y byd. Ond mae yna obaith oherwydd hydrogen. Mae llong arbrofol Race for Water yn defnyddio pŵer solar a stacio hydrogen i ehangu ei gyrhaeddiad pan fo'n bell o'r cyhydedd. Mae peiriannau hydrogen yn cael eu datblygu hefyd i'w defnyddio mewn cerbydau nwyddau trwm yn ogystal. Mae dull Riversimple o ddylunio ceir o amgylch y gell pŵer nid yn unig yn anhygoel o resymegol, mae wedi arwain hefyd at y posibilrwydd hyfyw o gar heb fawr o anfanteision ceir trydan a cheir hybrid sydd braidd yn wrthgynhyrchiol, o fod yn gyfuniad o danwydd ffosil a batris trwm. Mae arloesedd a gallu technolegol y cwmni cynhenid hwnnw i'w canmol, ac maent yn rhan o draddodiad balch o beirianwyr Prydeinig a holltodd yr atom ac a roddodd y cyfrifiadur i'r byd. Felly, gadewch i ni beidio â gwneud yr un camgymeriad ag a wnaeth cenedlaethau blaenorol, a welodd ddyfeisiadau gan Brydeinwyr yn creu ffortiwn i gwmnïau mewn gwledydd eraill. Gwnaed pwynt allweddol ddoe yn y cwestiynau i'r Prif Weinidog, pan ddywedwyd y dylem ofalu rhag rhoi ein hwyau i gyd yn y fasged cerbydau trydan. Rwy'n cytuno'n llwyr y dylem gael ffynhonnell gymysg o gynhyrchiant ynni. Nid ydym eisiau bod yn gaeth i gartél fel rydym ar hyn o bryd gyda phetrol a diesel, a bydd cymysgedd ynni addas yn atal hynny rhag digwydd. Mae cerbydau trydan wedi'u pweru gan fatri yn gwneud peth niwed i'r amgylchedd, fel y dywedais yma yn y gorffennol. Rhaid cynhyrchu'r trydan, ac ar y cyfan rydym yn dal i wneud hynny drwy ddefnyddio tanwydd ffosil. Hefyd, mae angen cloddio a phrosesu'r deunyddiau ar gyfer y batris enfawr - proses a allai fod yn niweidiol i'r amgylchedd ac i iechyd pobl. Mae cael gwared ar y batris hyn yn broblem hefyd. Mae'n gadarnhaol yn yr ystyr nad yw cerbydau trydan yn cynhyrchu allyriadau gwenwynig, ond o fewn ein cymysgedd pŵer cyfredol, wedi cael eu symud i fannau eraill y mae'r allyriadau hyn - maent yn dal i fynd i mewn i'r atmosffer. Nid yw'r diffyg dewis hwnnw'n bodoli yn achos cerbydau tanwydd hydrogen. Gan droi at ein gwelliant, rydym yn cydnabod y bydd cyflwyno cerbydau wedi'u pweru gan hydrogen ar raddfa eang yn galw am seilwaith sy'n costio arian i'w osod. Roedd hynny'n wir, wrth gwrs, gyda dyfodiad cart-a-cheffyl yn y lle cyntaf. Er bod gennym arosfannau ar gyfer trafnidiaeth a dynnid gan geffylau ar un adeg, gyda phorthiant a stablau, bu'n rhaid creu seilwaith cyfan ar gyfer storio, cludo a phuro, neu gynhyrchu petrol, diesel ac olew gwresogi. Mae gorsafoedd petrol eisoes wedi'u cyfarparu i ymdrin â thanwydd hylosg, ac er ei bod yn wir y byddai angen eu haddasu i ddarparu ar gyfer hydrogen, nid yw'n dasg mor fawr â'r hyn a oedd yn ofynnol yn flaenorol, ar ddechrau oes y cerbydau tanwydd ffosil. Rwy'n siŵr y byddai unrhyw ddigwyddiadau allweddol megis yr hyn a grybwyllir yn y cynnig yn cynhyrchu amrywiaeth o syniadau, ac rwy'n gwbl gefnogol i'r cynnig o safbwynt hynny. Ond buaswn yn gofyn inni gadw'r opsiynau sy'n cael eu hystyried yn realistig o fforddiadwy. Mae angen inni sicrhau elw da ar fuddsoddiad, a bod y risgiau o greu'r seilwaith angenrheidiol, ac ymchwil a datblygu, a hyrwyddo'r dechnoleg wedyn yn cael eu rhannu'n deg rhwng y cwmnïau a fydd yn elwa arni, y Llywodraeth, a'r trethdalwr yn y pen draw. Bydd angen inni gael cefnogaeth y cyhoedd hefyd, ond nid yw hynny'n mynd i ddigwydd os ydynt yn ofni eu bod yn mynd i cael eu taro gan dreth werdd gostus arall. Felly, rwy'n credu y byddai sicrwydd gan y Llywodraeth yn hynny o beth yn cael ei werthfawrogi'n fawr. Ac i'r perwyl hwnnw, rwy'n eich annog i gefnogi gwelliant UKIP. Diolch.
