RE: How Much Longer15 Jun 2023 11:25
Now here's a wizard wheeze........I'm a construction company, and being all wokey and that, want to be seen to be doing my bit for the polar bears, and all that, so I want to be seen to be investigating ways of reducing the amount of fossil fuels I burn on site to power the three kettles in the staff room......Problem.....how do I do that? I can either go out to the market and but in (at very significant cost) from someone like Panasonic, or alternatively do a deal with a company that thinks its developing a viable product (or, at least, that's what they're telling their shareholders) where they let me have one effectively for free, because I'm reverse charging them the costs on the basis of "consideration in kind"......doesn't matter to me one jot, because I've ticked the greenwash box at very little cost, and I have no tie in for future sales.....
Or to put it another way, the things aren't viable as products, and they've been placed with various contractors as a part of a mutually beneficial symbiotic con.......I will of course be proven 100 percent incorrect when the amazing towers of power go flying off the shelves.....
