I'm 80% down and couldn't dream of bailing out so hope PMO survive. As somebody who will not see pension age this was suppose to be a major contributor to an early pension :'( Will PMO survive?
I think he's meaning AstraZeneca being based in Cambridge., you're correct lead academic partner is Oxford, trial lead is Southampton. That £25m trial has sold its rights for the vaccine to the US government for a reported circa $1bn. Hmmm.. nothing odd there, being a cynic.
Ironically it's safer than a petrol car. BMW ran their cars through the euro NCAP tests including tank puncture test. This showed the liquid hydrogen mists very quickly with little flame and a lower temp flame. Like you I'm a little apprehensive and would want to see more tests to be completely comfortable - that said I've not heard of any lpg tank explosions. I'd consider it as duel fuel going forwards.
I'm not sure PMO want their own hydrogen projects. They need to have a handle on it though and potential partner/s. BP Solar explored it in the early 2000s when the vehicle manufacturers were on board with it. At that time there wasn't sufficient political will and greater push back from the oil industry. The Greta effect will help though it needs the car industry to come back on board. There is clearly too much politics and control with the electric agenda at the moment - being cynical :-)
Cheers Kenni. I did notice he doesn't really get to a point. It strikes me I'm better off following the insights on here with a little of my own research.
Correction. BMW produced a duel fuel 7 series and liquid hydrogen Mini Cooper way back in 2005.. I was part of DfTs Chief Scientist's Unit then working on the Hydrogen agenda. It's the way you establish the infrastructure. Fuel cell vehicles like the London bus trial in the early 2000s used the same filling system. Liquid hydrogen burns very similarly and is stored similarly to lpg.
Any views from our resident experts?

Absolutely.. you can run a petrol car on liquid hydrogen the same as you do lpg. It lends itself to a much more graduated transition.
Electric never will replace oil. The UK government doesn't even support electric in their transport strategy (aside being a secondary energy source for urban commuting)It's less sustainable than oil and certainly has a greater impact on the environment - for example current demand from Tesla outstrips global cobalt supply by 200% - there goes the entire Congo . DfT see hydrogen as the most likely primary energy source for the future.. some 20years away. Oil is with us for a good while longer yet :-)
Credit Hamster.. You used to be one of the balanced contributors on the board with researched insight. Though sadly of late you have allowed yourself to be drawn into a conflict and I'd hope making the sometimes quite irrational statements more as agent provocateur than your informed insight?
As entertaining as it has become whiling lockdown away with the occasional read, the informed insights which are so helpful to those of us on here who look to the experts, it's a shame that has taken second place to a Frost Pegg style movie bar scene :-)
It's worth floating DBNO he's that popular, see if he deramps himself! :-)
The Credit Hamster will be the other possibly? :-)
Indeed! A few smug faces here this morning:-)
I agree Dabbler. The big step for the UK will be opening hospitality sector and the permitting of overnight stays from July.
Maybe it's long term exposure to PMO's share price volatility that turns you into DBNO? :-)
I'm soaking up the enthusiasm of the optimists on here and some informed thinking from them. :-)
I'm primarily long on this share though have bought in for a smaller short term gain which will be held with the positivity of today!
It's more likely "be careful your wallet may end up too heavy to carry!" :-)
I think what was being suggested is barring "Up But Not In" et al from the forum rather than filtering?
The relentless nonsense does sadly get in the way of the helpful and more informed discussion and shared articles.
....and providing the FCA have the teeth and motivation to impose suitable penalties. Then I'd like to agree as PMO are grossly undervalued whilst ARCM control them.
Thanks Ferret. It's just nice to see researched statements... what underpins an opinion. Any move from the US directed at China will involve Iran again - circa 40% of China's oil imports typically come from Iran. That could be a positive for oil?
