Re. Q&A - I get the impression that they are submitted in advance. When I registered I was asked if I had a question to submit. I assumed that was the same for everyone.(?)

Agreed Scarpa50. It's highly unlikely it's a Saudi order in response to ExE demo. The turn around is just too quick. The ink wouldn't have dried on the contract - it was only last weekend.
I guess it is the Acciona field test unit, as mentioned in numerous communications previously, so AFC feel no need to comment further. There is no point having their comms people, wasting their time commenting on every counter rumour that may be circulating the playgroung that is sometimes LSE.

@researchandhold,
One of the USP's of AFC's FC is that it doesn't require any platinum/precious metals, thus reducing manufacturing cost and reducing the risk of being 'rinsed' from a construction site. Hope that helps.

AB has been quiet today on social media today, which may suggest he is too busy talking to/negotiating with potential clients. ;-)

Red button on BBC.

Also, how many people, apart from Coulthard, have done a piece to camera, standing right next to a generator, without having to shout to be heard.
Not only is the future green, but its quiet. Excellent choice for festivals etc.

I'm hoping that, as well as coverage of the AFC generator, they mention how the hydrogen is being produced, as some people are assuming it's grey - not the message AFC want.
I would like to see some footage of the solar arrays and the storage tanks (call me weird?), which is where we get to 100% clean energy.

'By the way why do step in now with your 18 posts when s****and real insults have been flying around for months.... bit late to referee the game today i think...'
Fair point Sturmtrupper, I'm not trying to referee, but for the past few days things have returned to being quite civil and once again, it has become a place where there is some valuable and enlightening discussion.
It would be nice if we didn't just revert back to the primary school playground, that it had become, just because it has been that way in the past.
We are all on the same journey with this share and I suspect we have more in common than we might think.....and yes, I am a LTH, and have been on this forum and ii for many, many years in spite of my 18 posts.
I'm hoping for a brighter future. GLAH.

Sturntrupper, keep it civil. there is no reason for personal attacks. We are here to discuss AFC, not what we think of TG.

'Guitarman, it was meant to be in 2020, but Covid resulted in the event being cancelled that year. It is being advertised for 2021 with AFC involvement.'

Thanks Bumble, I eventually found the link to the rescheduled show, detailing Afc's involvement. ;-)

That British Motor Show was supposed to be last summer. The announcement was Dec 2019.

Blaming the Texas debacle on their wind turbines is utter BS. Renewables make up only 10% of the resources in Texas, so the other 90% have some questions to answer. Gov. Abbott is an idiot.
Officials at ERCOT, which operates the power grid have gone so far as to say that failures in wind and solar were the least significant factors. It's simply an issue of their grid infrastructure that failed.
Perhaps in a few years time, situations like this can be mitigated with the deployment of AFC f/c's at local substations.

Apologies if already posted, but if not, good to hear people saying the right things. Although at one point she does say 'let me invite those of you, based in the European Union, to also join and endorse it's objectives'.

I agree Haggis, but I will say the American market can be tricky to crack.

When I was growing up, we happened to live next door to one of the US's chief test pilots, who was tasked, at the time, with assessing Concorde for the US market.
During extensive trials, he was totally smitten with the aircraft, saying it was the best plane he had ever flown, a was a complete fan. He used to invite my father (aeronautics engineer) over to show him the photos he'd taken on test flights and share his excitement. He submitted his finding to his seniors, who immediately buried his report. Their argument was that the USA would just have to build a better plane, rather than have to admit the someone else had something better to offer.
I'm not being anti American (I've lived there for a number of years) but you have to admit and admire their singlemindedness to achieve the best, even if that means not admitting/acknowledging that there may be better options available at the time.

Good find alwaysontheroad - thanks for posting.

Augusta wrote -' the real potential lies in ABB and Acciona'. I absolutely agree.

While it will be great to see the AFC logo on our TV screens at ExE events, the real purpose of the ExE link is to road test and develop/evolve the product in real world applications (as with all car manufacturers' involvement in any form of motorsport). As mentioned by AB, IIRC, in recent interviews.

BW, P.

My HL account is giving me a live price ATM, so may not be an HL issue.

D147, you only need to look at the names of the contributors to the 2021 predictions to know that most have been here for most of your existence, so even though the predictions are a bit of fun, I suspect 'these people' are well aware of the reason for the increase.
Having been invested since 2014, I can't believe I missed the information about the strategic partnership with ABB, or ExE, DeNora, Acciona, 30Mil, Alkamem, BK Gulf, new facility, Jülich etc, etc, etc. You must have dug deep to find such information, as for the life of me, I can't imagine where you found it, Sherlock.
However, as you have done all this marvellous research, that none of 'these people' were aware of, before making their predictions, perhaps you would just give us the actual figure now.
