B1ll - Thank you for your apology. Having read many BB’s on this website for over 6 months before creating an account and posting, I always knew I’d get some flack. It seems everyone gets it from time to time. I was just shocked to get it so quickly! :-D
I also take onboard your point about Sunday night account-creators and their less than noble motives. It is a shame that the few spoil it for the benefit of the many.
My early experiences of this website won’t put me off posting though. I read a lot, but won’t be a prolific poster. I’m new to investing and am learning much. I will tend to only pipe up if I feel I can add something to the conversations.
My instincts tel me there are many other lurkers like me who read a lot, could add value to a conversation, but fear getting battered on the BB, so keep quiet. That’s a shame.
All the best. :-)
Fantastic post solar Steve.
I apologise to you for questioning your identity.
My personal experience with share chat forums has led me to be suspicious of anyone who creates a profile on Sunday evening - these characters usually de-ramp a share - some are more knowledgeable than others with different degrees of subtlety .
You're ability to do psychological profiles on bulletin boards is great too - I bet you know who to dismiss within a couple of posts.
I often find user names to be a bit of a giveaway.
All the best
Hahahahaha! This is an insight into the mind of a man isn’t it? I do have other hobbies away from this and studying clinical psychology is one of them.
Unfortunately, a lot of you give your psych profile away immediately and in the negative. Name calling and pack mentality bullying tells me a lot about some of you already.
I don’t claim to have all of the answers for the future of EV’s or EUA, I was merely trying to correct a common misconception from first hand experience of working in the battery market. If this insight is not welcomed here, then so be it.
It is unfortunate really, because sharing opinions Estes knowledge and above all, knowledge will help all of us invest wisely and make a profit.
Thanks for a sensible post earache. The removal of nuclear power stations from Germany has resulted in importing gas from Russia, with those security implications, and a lack of secure energy as renewables aren't reliable in producing electricity all the time.
In the same way the statement that petrol and diesel vehicles will be removed completely within a decade or so is also not practical. There will still be a high demand for Palladium and other PGM metals for some time to come.
Love it earache.
SnowflakeSteve,
Anyone who's first post on LSE was to state that "they had bought £200 worth of Tullow shares, were thinking of investing another £800 the next day and asking what it would do to their average" need a frigging abacus and an upgrade in pocket money. FfS.
Interesting thought, if there are about two grams of harvestable palladium in a Toyota Prius converter, how much would they have to use if they started to have to fit catalytic converters to big ships ..... lots
If anyone is interested that youtube link I posted below is very interesting, Mark Evans states, in the end, the engine that powers the container ship that brings you things from China to the UK uses less fuel for that item than the local delivery van to your door. fact for the day.
Where did 1tommo1 go, I just wrote up a post to ask him a question... Oh well
1tommo1, good afternoon to you, you say you are an engineer for a leading uk car manufacturer, and are now, along with many other car brands, coming to the conclusion that purely electric vehicles will not be practical(particularly in the uk) for several decades.
The main problem is very simple, space, a huge amount of people in this country are unable to even park outside there own houses, the infrastructure, and investment required to get the number of charge points needed is massive.
Our main design and investment is currently hybrid vehicles.
EVs will be mainstream one day but not for a long time yet.
As you have stated above your thinking is Hybrid is the way forward but you hi-light the lack of parking spaces outside ones home and lack of charging points, if that is the case then the only way the batteries will be charged in a Hybrid is via the internal combustion engine and negating the original concept that the IC engine was to supplement the range/performance of the battery, this charging of the battery via the engine would surely produce just as much pollution/ greenhouse gasses as for just running a conventional car, as stated previously by me a report recently found exactly that scenario where Hybrid cars were being brought and run only via the IC engine and that the charging lead was still in its original wrapping in the boot, as the primary reason of purchase was just to save on vehicle tax. you say EVs will be mainstream one day but not for a long time yet, we would concur with that statement and hope our palladium is used in greater quantities to reduce emissions in Hybrids going forward, this is a serious question is there anything new in the pipeline that you could give us a head's up on, as whatever is in production today will not clean up emissions if used in a way it was not designed for. The Diesel engine is the most fuel-efficient engine ever produced and can be between 40-55% compared to the Petrol Engine with only 20% to 35% efficiency, the recently highlighted particulates being the problem that surely a better cat converter or fuel derivative could overcome, after all, Rudolf Diesel's original engine was fulled on Peanut oil. The Engine that Powers the World. Mark Evans tells the surprising story of the hidden powerhouse behind the globalised world, the diesel engine.

An informative and interesting program.
Thanks in advance 1Tommo1, genuinely interested.
You're a bit full of yourself SolarSteve. We're here to talk about EUA.
1tommo1 hit the nail on the head. Also if peeps care to do some research the take up of EV slows considerably once generous subsidies are withdrawn. Some peeps talk complete and utter c r a p. DYOR!!!!
Morning Brother Joey, very good ha ha
But Ian.. we’re at risk of becoming rich!
So after all that Solar Steve thinks this share is risky..... says it all, he did not do his research... risky I ask you.
I posted one post to prove my credentials after incorrectly being called out as a fake profile. I don’t hide behind an acronym. I am straight and happy to prove exactly who I am. My websites sit nicely on page one, rank one of Google also. I don’t need traffic from here to improve that.
Here are my thoughts on EUA:
It is risky. But I am happy to have it as my largest investment because of my knowledge for batteries and precious metals that has come off the back of my business in solar. I see huge upside for this and BCN, among others. Palladium will have huge demand in the not-too-distant future.
I think this is a med-long term hold and am happy to ride the waves and buy in the dips.
They say you should invest in what you know, which I have. I only post on what I feel I can bring relevance to, hence my comments about solar, batteries and the future of metals like palladium. Had I not been wrongfully accused of being a paid, fake profile, I would not have posted anything about my website. But I will defend myself from ill-informed keyboard warriors all day everyday.
I wish you all a profitable day.
:-)
I have worked as an engineer for a leading uk car manufacurer for 2 decades. We are now, along with many other car brands, coming to the conclusion that purely electric vehicles will not be practical(particularly in the uk) for several decades.

drivable roads in the UK you are joking ! The roads here are a joke for the amount of tax we pay !!
All very interesting SolarSteve but your posts are losing relevance to EUA. Possibly more relevant to a share like SML? A battery materials company.
And many thanks for the compliment TDT. It is appreciated.
There were naysayers in the late 1800’s when a handful of people had cars. There were no decent roads to drive them on. People said the mass car market would never take off, but here we are. Globally, there are drivable roads everywhere. If all we need are some batteries and some plug sockets, I think we will be fine.. :-)
SolarSteve with respect, why are you posting nothing about Eurasia Mining and lots to promote your company, we as genuine Investors here are entitled to go off-topic and discuss and chat occasionally, you are not, please now leave us to discuss the share we are invested in without your interruption. Thank you and have a happy new year.
Haha! I didn’t recognise the URL, but when I clicked on it, I found I am already 44 mins into this presentation, but haven’t finished it yet! Yes, I am familiar with Tony and his message. The solar and EV revolution is in progress. Even today Tesla have released their first 15 cars in China.
The U.K. is an excellent place to become net zero. We are an island surround by ocean, have a good supply of internal waterways and bodies of water, so water-based renewables including floating solar arrays make sense. We also have decent irradiance levels and good levels of wind. The energy mix can and will be 100% renewable in my children’s generation, possibly sooner. We could be net zero by 2030 with government help, but without that, it will still be achieved by 2050 I feel.
You seem an interesting guy B1ll. Based on my first post you called me out as a fake profile. In my response proving I am genuine and have a decent amount of knowledge, I am now a spammer.
In my experience, people of your ilk will never change their opinion, no matter what people like me come back to you with because pride will not allow it. So further direct debate is probably fruitless, but I do wish you all the best and will be happy to discuss subjects with you further if you indicate a little more open mindedness.
Steve,
The National Grid are in the process of completing their latest power link with Europe, IFA2. If solar and batteries was a more viable option, they would have invested all the cash in to that technology instead.

As stated previously, until local infrastructure is in place (street level charging outside homes, in underground car parks for flats, chargers at work etc), true EV vehicles are not an option for the majority.
The ICE is here to stay in Hybrid vehicles for the foreseeable future and Pd will be in demand for emissions reduction.
I’m not going to debate any more, I’ve made my points now. Back to EUA and our massive Pd asset...
