I have been looking round to see what the market view is. One set of analysts have them as a strong buy; another says hold as there is indecision between bulls and bears. I might take a close look tomorrow to see which way the market goes.

Nah..he's the best..he puts up with me for a start!!

You should be in the middle ages with PB! I'm rather a dab hand with the old Aga...takes a bloomin' long time though but "luvverly" on a cold day. It was the husband's idea to get it (he of "course" takes the credit) and he won't use it because it's not fast enough!!

I did think there was a supply problem re wind turbines ie. not enough producers(as you posted earlier should increase value of their shares). Maybe we should pack in the share lark and become venture capitalists in a new turbine company?

You sound like the man I'm married to!

climb here too (like SSE). I guess these shares aren't for the adrenelin junkies!

Hmm I thought SSE might go up a bit more today based on positive news re wind farms. Looks like fjp was right about the steady climb north. I know dear PB hates charts but it looks like the "lows" are on the rise (10.50 looks unlikely for now slasher1). Not enough big changes (swings) for all you guys though eh?

Did you purchase any in December when you first posted? Either way...great call! I

(sorry for the typo; it should have said "negative stance"). Here's the link :- http://www.fxstreet.com/news/forex-news/article.aspx?StoryId=bc7af562-b64a-432b-9eac-a73a3486e1a2

Thanks. I will watch it for a while too and do some research. I like the idea of wind power but it's the actual sustainability of power generation that bothers me. (I saw your post about batteries). The Spanish company Iberdrola, the partner of SSE on nuclear, has suffered the ignominy of it's own government which has re-iterated its negativite stance on nuclear power. Spain is heavily into wind power. I'll try to find the article I read and post it for you.

No I haven't read that. I am amazed. How do you find all this?

Ta for that. I look forward to your post.

Yes I agree with you. I too am looking at developers of wind farms, nuclear etc. (made some posts on general (going green) as govt. is conducting an analysis on tidal power on the Severn). It seems, to humble old me, that governments are employing a scatter gun approach to energy. Nuclear is currently seen as the long term option with green power as an interim measure. The only trouble is are wind farms white elephants(with numerous trunks!!) ie. do they generate sufficient energy for their cost? If they are running at their optimum level they are productive but are they viable when averaged over a year? Is it just another method, as you point out, to rally the voters? I like them though; they look rather fine I think! One final point which I am also interested in and could really do with help. The Large Hadron Collider at Cern is due to be re-booted in the Spring. I would dearly love to know who/what companies are behind it (I have been trying to find out). It is the biggest investment made in modern times so they must think it's going to turn up something big. I might ask Paranoia Blue about it if no-one else knows. He is the font of all knowledge along with his pals fjp (aka Ouranos) and mark-expat. Re names. Yes...very confusing the nom de plume. You gotta luv 'em. Great fun and another reason why I come on this website.

An interesting article re whether governments will take the nuclear option or say "nay" (for the benefit of fjp..his kinda language..sounds like neigh and rhymes with hay). http://business.timesonline.co.uk/tol/business/economics/article5581332.ece

Good evening. I'm cheering myself up with Robert Graves "Corner knot"...nice evening reading with a glass of wine.

I have spent very very many hours on this and at the moment closing down Java is the only way I can operate(aka BT....Dell....Microsoft helpline). Trying again next week when I feel up to it.

I have been having a whole lotta trouble with my PC plus Java etc have been playing up so have probs logging onto some sites. I wonder why...?

Ta.

I have been following the news on SSE and apart from the joint venture with Iberdrola (Scottish Power) the following has occurred:- . regulator has dropped an investigation into SSE and Scottish Power re complaint over alleged abuse of dominant market position (said there were better ways of dealing with the issue-it was to do with the control of power cables to the south). .Terms have been set on a five year £700m bond. What I don't understand is why there is such a big spread between buy and sell share prices.

LSE news posted Spanish Iberdrola working with SSE on building nuclear power plants in Britain. Looks like the physicist I spoke to was correct ie.nuclear is seen as the only realistic long term energy source. Interesting; I had thought that SSE was only interested in traditional power sources plus green solutions.
