Scottish neighbourhood is home of groundbreaking experiment to power houses with green hydrogen
Rising gas prices and the war in Ukraine have almost doubled Ms Cunningham's bills in just 12 months, and despite paying the same for hydrogen gas as natural gas, she thinks it will bring them down in the long term.
