the steel works are a really sticky wicket. there's an easy solution for the jobs: ask Tata to keep the blast furnaces running indefinately. problem is this conflicts with green agenda, the greener arc furnaces require a lot less labour. there's maybe a more difficult but better solution, use the site as an experimental hydrogen fueled furnance. difficult as larger subsidies needed, and dont think this is on the list for green investments.Tata Steel in Port Talbot appears to be one of the first things they are going to try and get a better solution on. Was spoken about on Kuenesberg this morning too.

Sir Chris Bryant says Tata must not make "sudden moves" that prevent unpicking "a very bad deal".www.bbc.co.uk
