Goal posts shifted.22 May 2022 09:48
Just picking up on the point of shifting goalposts and I’m wondering if that’s necessarily a bad thing!
If we look closely at the statements that came from AB late last year we would feel within our rights to be bitterly disappointed even let down or cheated by the lack of orders and drop in sp so far this year and we could be forgiven for feeling misled.
HOWEVER, we were probably all expecting some positive movements from February but in February Russia invaded Ukrainian and the gas, oil situation fundamentally changed.
The theory I am suggesting is that at the end of last year, AFC had their main focus on the building trade but when the war broke out everything changed, including AFC’s focus.
The fact that the government have held back on imposing a windfall tax on oil companies despite opposition and public anger, and standing by the line that oil companies are reinvesting in renewables makes sense.
ABB/Shell is the main one that concerns us.
So let’s say yes, the goalposts have shifted and AFC have had to move heaven and earth to get the S Seres up and running faster than originally planned and most focus is on this now.
If this is the case, it would explain why it seems development has been slow with regards to Power Tower and news, so we may be six months behind where we thought we would be now but we may well also be six months ahead with the S seres?
Just my thoughts
