If carbon dioxide was the only issue point well made but how many deaths are attributed to EV emissions?

Health
The American Lung Association reports that 30,000 people are killed by car emissions annually in the United States alone. Air pollution also causes numerous respiratory and cardiovascular problems and may exacerbate pre-existing conditions such as asthma. More than half of Americans live in areas that fail to meet federal air quality standards at least several days each year.

Irene,

Re your final para

Nigwit, the Alien from Planet Clarion will pick you up tonight at 12pm in his flying Saucer, and take you to Greta the Great Leader, where it will be explained exactly what this twitter nonsense means

You are too late!

dspp i am also a Hurricane Shareholder and re your final para

I am a HUR investor. I think I know a bit about working in the oilpatch technically and doing the economics of the oilpatch. This is why I think it is important for HUR to move these fields through the development processes with an absolute minimum of delay. If they do not, then there is a risk that over time the shareholders of HUR, or any E&P stock will have devaluing portfolios of stranded assets.

relax because that is exactly what HE are doing if your refer to the CEs review comments in the final results:

However, the Lancaster EPS is now only part of the story. Following the Spirit farm-in we are now progressing separate parts of our portfolio in parallel. The deal has allowed us to accelerate our planning for future phases of activity, including a three-well campaign in 2019. We plan to follow this with a further three wells and the tie-back of one of the 2019 wells in 2020, subject to partner approval. To enable this accelerated activity, we have expanded our organisational structure to accommodate operations across a number of concurrent projects.

The other thing to consider re the important POO price is that it will impact other less agile producers than HE, most Shale Producers will be first to go in the event that demand for POO drops and that will lead to more of the "diminished" pie to be satisfied by remaining suppliers de facto driving the price back up again

Some interesting facts and developments, the bottom line is as more and more Governments and city councils penalise combustion car owners through congestion charges on top of fuel tax and as the cost of batteries which make up the major cost of EVs falls, so EV sales will overtake combustions vehicles in the not too distant future. I suspect the final catalyst for a switch in the UK will come when toll charges are introduced extensively to replace lost income from fuel tax. The good news is that most oil consumption is non car related.

I am a simply Loggy so bow to anyone with technical knowledge and have to rely on the technical presentation conclusion slide produced with simpletons like me in mind no doubt. Fortunately bullet point 2 on the final slide in Hurricane's 05 03 2019 tech presentation clearly states that "The Lancaster eps aims to demonstrate that the basement can produce sustainable rates long term in order to progress to full field development".

but better to be invested with pre profit companies like hurricane and Nanoco than mature companies past their sell by date like Debenhams eh

NigWit

Thank you for that clarification and I cannot argue with your summary which applies to every single company quoted on the stock market

In summary I see it as a sporty bet with lots of potential upside for brave investors with appetite for risk and who can afford to lose their stake all as part of a properly balanced portfolio

Been out all day and very welcome to come back and read the link on your post BurtonD.

The final para is particularly eye catching, all collaborations (not some or most) moving forward and only positive news await

‘Recent developments have seen the level of enquiries into our product increase, and we have also had some exciting progress with our current collaborators. These are huge programmes, and we are keen to update the market on as soon as we can – it is all positive news. All of our collaborations are moving forward, some quicker than others. We currently find ourselves in an excellent position.

Fair enough NigWit then I take from your reply that with regards to your earlier post below that on a balance of risk reward you agree with other investors in this share that the blind coin toss is heavily weighted in favour of reward.

FWIW I think Hurricane will be a much better investment if Lancaster is proven up. This will take a while. Before then it’s a blind coin toss that risks your capital but afterwards it will be much easier to weigh the risk/reward ratio.

It’s not an ethical investment though so the window for gains is shrinking as institutional attitudes to the sector harden with growing public disquiet.

Back from my walk nicely chilled and having plodded through the BB it's as though I have never been away.

NigWit,

I do have one genuine question regarding your post that reads

I've held since 2016 mrJimV. At first i was over-enthusiastic but, as you can tell, I'm now more careful and have reduced to a sum I don't mind losing in the worst case.

How about you

If you feel there is little chance of a fairly strong price recovery for Hurricane's sp and given your strong morale stance re climate change, why not sell your residual stake today before it falls further in line with your predictions?

Escargot, echo the speedy recovery messages, whatever you do don't read back too far and find my Doctor's joke in your delicate state. Off on a 10 mile walk now have a good day all and be nice to each other

Jam tomorrow then. Today's star performer likely to be Computacenter based on new RNS news

Two great British companies I hope they both fly

NigWit,

Cutting to the chase, the Investors chronicle were focused on the commercial realisation of the reserves not climate change. As by your own admission, you have been a long term investor here you must have been aware of that particular risk when you first invested and I personally have only seen progress since and nothing to indicate that this risk has increased subsequently; so just remind me of the relevance of flagging this up now?

According to oil consultancy Wood Mackenzie, Hurricane’s reserves are just shy of BP and Shell’s combined UK continental shelf resources. However, almost every one of these 2.18bn barrels of oil-equivalent is listed as technical (or contingent), rather than commercial reserves. Until we get a clearer impression of Lancaster’s performance, we’re on the sidelines. Hold.

NigWit having a balanced portfolio is sound advice but I think it is fair to say the current sp has more than its fair share of risk already factored in re the potential upside; certainly no more risky than most of the stock market. After all, one bad RNS from Nanoco which is close to your heart, would equally sink its p but you would not get that impression as a new investor if you read your bullish comments with no balanced downside on that BB

..and knowing how fastidious you can be I should just add I am referring to the published date of Mar when the hold recommendation had not been changed whether through intent or sloppy journalism

NigWit,

I don't think anyone would have objected to you posting this after all it does recommend a hold at 54p at a time when POO was a lot lower than circa $75

Foresight, the Association of Project Management (APM) defines risk as:

Risk includes both opportunities and threats, and both should be managed through the risk management process. ... At the detailed level, an individual risk is defined as 'an uncertain event or set of circumstances that, should it occur, will have an effect on achievement of one or more objectives.

So another way to look at things is that the price is volatile and currently represents an increased opportunity to Hurricane
