Sicko Fanatics!
Hahahahahah!
Love it!

No hidden agenda matey!
Simply just asking all of the AFC evangelists out there to give us an idea of at what point they will question the pace of development.
It isn't going to happen though, because certainty is the kryptonite of spin doctors.

Not plants, vegetables more like!

You seem to be getting a bit thin skinned........what have you got against setting performance criteria? Please explain why the phrase "war room" upsets you so much?

FFS! They're even talking to each other (or is it themselves?) now!

JB
I challenge you to set some performance metrics and timelines.

Oh, look, Johhny come lately has popped up out of the woodwork, just to add a bit of positive spin!
You can all set your own performance targets, something along the lines of "I expect the test at X to be concluded by Y, with the data released by the company confirming that the performance criteria set down by the customer have been met" That isn't difficult, the only difficult bit will be how you deal with the situation if the performance criteria set down by you have not been met. Obviously, if you choose not to set any perfomance criteria, then the company cannot be seen to have not achieved its objectives, but conversely, this does indicate a lack of confidence on your part.

You keep spouting about 'Long and strong' and all that twaddle, but are simply not prepared to set down any performance metrics. Unless you are prepared to state precisely what you expect to happen, and by when, then any argument that you put forward in support of the company's apparent progress carries very little validity.

But there is a concerted effort to vanquish what you perceive as a common enemy, and you do have a happy place where you all meet to discuss strategy.....not far off a war room, is it?
Anyway, I see that you all skirt around the issue of setting deadlines for performance yardsticks.....no doubt because it goes against the party line of just sayin Ahh well... all will be good , long and strong, and all that......
Definitive timelines please folks, lets have some certainty in the equation please......

I really don’t think that referring to your telegram group ( where by definition, you are all happy because you all sing the same delusional jam tomorrow anthem on a daily basis ) the happy place is calling it a silly name. The fact that you seem to be using it as a war room in which to coordinate attacks on the less pro company cohort on LSE (there are a group of…. Blah blah….bump….etc) does seem a bit like having your cake and eat it…..as for those who gave “been lost to LSE” then good luck to them, as they no longer have the advantage of any balanced argument, and will now simply be brainwashed by the ubers….
I would just ask, at what point will any of you actually accept that schedules are not being met….how about you all pin your colours to the mast and give an actual hard date by which you expect certain performance parameters to have been met, and if / when not met, apologise to the “con men traders / non invested” sceptics…..let’s choose a few things to set a time line on, shall we?

Ah, so the idea is to have something shipping container sized packed with scalable units…..haven’t we heard that somewhere before? Is this yet another market we can tap into? Might take a bit of time in development though….oh, by the way, 40 half decent cyclists equals the power output of one power tower….

I hear what you say, but the cost of such a project is but a drop in the ocean compared to the development of nuclear power generation, and more importantly, it taps into the current "energy security" paranoia and the anti hydrocarbon agenda. Add into the mix the fact that once the upfront cost has been borne, there is virtually no on cost, insfoar as feed stock is concerned, meaning it's a kind of "energy for free" holy grail.
It may well be that the government decides on a keyensian capital projects drive route out of recession, and this is a good fit in this respect, as it puts ticks in so many of the right boxes.
As for planning, etc. If Government decides that this should proceed, then it is highly unlikely that it would not proceed.
Remember, this is an on demand supply, unlike all other renewables (and, it would seem fuel cell technology at present) and therefore there is no need for a storage medium, it simply gets pumped down the wire when needed.
I understand that this won't necessarily affect the current AFC target market, but the availability of cheap non emissions electricity could change that market, if battery / supercapacitor storage capabilities improve, but this is of course all in the long grass at the moment.
Not a subtle bash, just saying that there are things out there which are a light at the end of the tunnel.

You may have worried about inbuilt obsolescence……time to worry about inbuilt redundancy!

But I’m right though…….Google the low alamos thing…..the future is hot rocks, and we have loads of hot granite in the uk, and not too deep…..now that’s the future, ignore atomic, renewables, let’s just cool the planet down (might help with global warming)

Sorry Brian, touched a nerve there?

At least I’m out in the delusional twat gang!
Nope, the moon landings did take place, as did a test drill in Cornwall a few years ago to see whether they could get deep enough into the mantle to get enough heat to generate super heated steam; they did indeed get deep enough, but the problem was creating the flow and return (there is a way of doing it but that was tested at low alamos)….however, with the advent of horizontal drilling, this source of geothermal energy is now viable….guess what….the hard drive Blau ray has just been invented……

Ah, so here we have it, shortly after posting something about the Uber positives using multiple aliases, another Johnny come lately pops up to have a dig….first it was pommygit (really original that one) and now we have the ludicrously names thongstring having a dig…..now I’m not a tin foil hat wearer, but this is al starting to look a bit like a conspiracy of some sort, don’t ya think?

Come on, lighten up a bit, its was only a bit of a joke, don't be so damn serious, life's about having a laugh and seeing the funny side of things.......and YES, I did know about Batamax being the better product. Thing was though, that was back in the day, and the whole recoding by physical media ting disappeared, to be replaced by a whole new technology. The BIG question is, are fuel cells the NEW technology, or the last knockings of the old empire?
Answers on a postcard please

A bit deep for me....just avin a laugh!

So I suppose it could be called the Power Tower Beta Max............
