gdog, as far as I understand it it all depends on what you mean by none work against omicron. None seem to protect people from catching it very well, but they do still protect from becoming seriously ill. The intensive care beds in the hospitals here in the UK are largely filled by the unvaccinated, regardless of which variant, yet they make up only around 10% of the population.
Alfa, you do not appear to take into account the progress that is being made in conversion of hydrogen to and from ammonia. Ammonia is a very dense way of storing and transporting hydrogen. There are also steps being made in generating ammonia directly from air and water. I am sure it will be part of the transport future, it already is being adopted for testing in marine shipping purposes.
Not sure the source of sulphur is of any consequence. Some oil refiners would virtually pay you to take it away. In Kazakhstan for instance it is 20 percent of the gas they produce.
I would not entirely agree that the graphs show a 'continued slide', there are positives. Regardless of the 10 year graph (available on google finance etc) showing it down to penny mark in the distant past, in the last year the slide has also been arrested and reversed several times at around the 9p mark. Back in 2018 the same price showed a lot of resistance to rising through it, so it is a psychological barrier that will encourage buying when it is approached, and the last few days have shown that. If however we drop to below 8.5p and hold that overnight (as opposed to just momentarily touching it), it does not look so promising. We are unfortunately in a waiting game, for redox batteries to become a more widely recognised option worldwide, and the SA govt's less than transparent workings are not helping.
I suspect if it is in their small print, that qualifies as express permission to loan shares out.
Has anyone else asked their broker if they loan the shares out for shorting purposes. I did, mine doesn't thank god (iDealing) but I was planning to tell them to either not lend mine or prepare for me to move to another broker.
Tagware... Tesla batteries last as well as they do because they are actually rated at 90% of the actual capacity, and only charge to that rating. You can do the same with your mobile if you only charge it to 90%. It's not clever design by Tesla.
Main criticism and concern I have about lithium batteries is that is if they get short circuited, e.g. in a car accident, they go into thermal overload and self ignite. So in an accident there is always the possibility this can happen however well you protect the battery. Once in this loop it is extremely difficult to extinguish, and even once extinguished it can reignite many times. The only safe and Teslas's recommended way of dealing with a battery fire is to let it burn out. So you can see the motorways being closed for longer periods in the event of EV fires.... Fuel cells do not have this issue. H2 once escaped from it's container very very quickly disperses, there is only a very short window when it is at a flammable mixture.
Personally I would MUCH rather be in a fuel cell vehicle than a lithium battery powered one.
I see it is still goundhog day here. Same old rubbish being spouted. How many months have we been stuck in this meaningless drivel.
Mine too
I only look in here every few weeks, in the forlorn hope that it is no longer stuck in Groundhog day, but every time I am disappointed, STT & Qwertii still repeating the same half dozen (I am being generous) statements..... I will go into hibernation again now.
You did one trade at 844 (allegedly) and keep crowing about it. If you were so good, why haven't you traded the many ups and downs between 7.3 and 8 since then?
Instead all you ever do is repeat the same old rubbish constantly.

How do you feel about just repeating things now?
Projects screw up on timescales and budgets all the time. Look at HS2.... That's all that has happened here. PHE relied on Peel to do better than they have done. Nothing dodgy. The tiny bit of dilution is neither here nor there, just has scared people who are already twitchy. The only dodgy stuff is the blatant ramping and deramping.
I may be being thick, but surely the point is that by PHE having a large stake in Engsolve it means that if there is diverse work ongoing in Engserve, then PHE can dictate their work as priority. It's not about retaining the employees, it's about the ability to prioritise.
Actually I could have posted that under any heading by STT, it's the same few paragraphs on repeat.
One of these days you might say something new... but I doubt it. I cannot recall how many times I have read those same words from you... Personally i make it a habit NOT to repeat myself. If someone isn't clued up enough to get it the first time, I reckon there is no point.
Considering the company is, despite appearances, a lot further forward than it was 18 months ago, and the apparent timescale to proof of functionality is the same, it is surely worth what it was then, so could we be due a real rise as opposed to a dead cat bounce.?
As a retired professional engineer in the oil industry I would advise anyone who is a doubter to apply simple risk analysis tools to assess the risk of global warming. In risk analysis we assess the 'probability' of an event and the 'consequence' and put these into a matrix. If something is low probability and low consequence we can ignore it, if something is high probability low consequence we should at least do something, if something is high probability high consequence we need to do something right now, if something is very low probability but extreme consequence we can't just ignore it, we have to do something, etc etc.
Now for global warming the consequence would be extreme if it does actually happen, so to get the perceived risk to you personally you apply your own personal opinion of the probability that global warming is happening. Since the consequence is extreme, even if you think the probability is negligible you still need to do something, not just ignore it, because the risk is not nil. So if you have any logic left in your minds you really cannot ignore it.
Tesla's own recommendation is to let it burn out if you can, but if you can't then use lots of water. Problem either way is pollution. Air pollution from burning is probably less of a problem is it is not in an urban setting, water pollution containment from lots of contaminated firewater is more of a problem anywhere near to a river or where runoff can't be contained.
To quote your initial statement from Sunday "Friday's US close of $17.90 is eq to UK 649p, which is lower than Friday close of 660p.
Therefore, expect the UK to open lower. If the UK sp drops substantially the US will follow.
Vicious circle until the gap narrows closer to par"
In case you hadn't noticed the gap has 'narrowed to par' already.... and has actually been at par since Friday..
I think you actually meant a vicious spiral not a circle.. and I think you expected it to continue spiraling down for a long period, it must gall that it was at par already by the time you quoted that.
That 'vicious circle' we were promised... shouldn't we still be spiralling down out of control? Or was it an empty promise as ever.
