What's the overall view on the momentum growing to reduce our dependency on fossil fuels, I do appreciate it's a taboo subject here but don't bury your head in the sand it's mainline news climate emergency.

I still believe we are far better off producing onshore UK rather than importing from Russia but don't really see oil prices remaining above say $30 with the move towards EV's.

I will add DL is a little out of touch:

Overall, the consultancy Wood Mackenzie expects U.S. storage additions to double in 2019, triple in 2020 and increase 13-fold over the next five years, which would store enough electricity to power more than 5 million homes. The forecasters at Bloomberg New Energy Finance expect more than $600 billion in global investment in battery storage by 2040. The storage boom, like so many green trends in America, first took hold in California, but Ravi Manghani, the head of energy storage research at Wood Mackenzie, says it is spreading much faster than anyone expected, ending the era when power had to be distributed and used the instant it was generated.

So easy to forget storage!

I read it slightly differently,

Excellent Cadence Minerals news out today on Yangibana Rare Earth German deal. This was always going to be a globally significant project and it’s all coming together now. @CadenceMinerals $KDNC The more electric cars and the more mobile phones, the more significant this is.

Still, stick to you oil stocks if you feel comfortable there.

A cross-party group of politicians and campaigners have urged Theresa May to put the UK Government on a “war footing” to tackle climate change.

I would recommend a quick look over autonewschina and today's top stories.

(agree mr.james the facts are beyond doubt)

Back to disruption and it will certainly continue to happen and together with climate emergency actions at a faster pace.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-politics-48093720

"This includes scrapping the environmental disaster that is the M4 Relief Road, divesting from fossil fuels, and ensuring that sustainability and climate is a part of the new curriculum."

Unstoppable, IMVHO

'Climate emergency' declared by Welsh Government

teabiscuit,

I don't see much benefit for you holding Jersey Oil and Gas JOG, some believe the days for the North Sea O&G and offshore generally are numbered due to the disruption in transport.

JOG website:

Our objective is to build a diversified North Sea asset portfolio, driven by exploration success and a disciplined approach to acquisitions.

Sour grapes?

Offshore oil and gas will be one of the first fossil fuel sectors to be the victim of transport and energy disruption plus climate emergency actions,

from that article:

“Declaring a climate emergency is about more than posing for pictures with climate strikers, it’s about ditching policies that are destroying the planet and investing in the jobs and technologies of tomorrow, today.”

Job done Greta!

Personally, I don't mind who puts their name to it as long as it leads to action,

Hi Obs, concentrated solar looks a very promising application, I was looking back through some info on the HE3DA battery and noticed one of the advantages would be ideally suited to mchp and storage:

Another advantage is the possibility to use in potentiostatic mode . This means that for its operation does not require the control electronics, but will automatically switch from charging mode to download , depending on whether the electricity enters into it from a source (loading) or providing electricity (consumption). With this mode, the battery is usable also for photovoltaic and other renewable energy sources , allowing to store electricity even in homes.

Of course, there is nothing to suggest INSP have any relationship with HE3DA just my own thoughts that such technologies would compliment each other

Been following for a few years and this intrigues me,

https://oenergetice.cz/elektrina/akumulace-energie/he3da-startuje-na-karvinsku-projekt-na-vyrobu-baterii-za-55-miliardy-kc/

HE3DA batteries will be designed mainly for export. However, according to Prus, alternatives to using them are also in the Czech Republic, which are not among the countries with the best sun conditions.

Google translate so Flashlight seems to mean battery:

“For example, a conventional gas boiler will have a small turbine that will generate excess energy from the waste heat. You save that energy in a flashlight, the house goes from that flashlight, and you only draw what you need extra from a classic power grid, ” he said.

HE3DA is a very interesting Czech company with as they claim a breakthrough technology in lithium batteries but with lot's of interest within Europe and the US to build battery factories.

DYOR,

Youtube etc,

Who knows!

No idea,

FrankieH's history has been wiped, a real shame but I hope her investment reaps great rewards.

GL FrankieH if you still view.

I have a dabble on INSP also Barksy1, it's all part of energy disruption so fits my portfolio!

Get the binoculars out,
