We would love to hear your thoughts about our site and services, please take our survey here.
Nice one, however I suspect the youngsters I work with won't be feeling a thing and will be comfortably numb for the duration. I will be there come what may with vest and duffle coat
Despite what this commy riden market does today it will definitely be snowing in Manchester on Friday as I am there on an all dayer with a bunch of youthful work colleagues. Might have a dance myself and revisit my own personal misspent youth of the late 80s early 90s
ME: What are the chances of tidal turbines take over land turbines.
CHATGPT: The likelihood of tidal turbines overtaking land-based wind turbines in terms of energy generation depends on various factors, including technological advancements, geographic location, and economic considerations. Here are some key points to consider:
1. **Resource Availability:** Tidal turbines generate power from the kinetic energy of tides, which are highly predictable and consistent. However, not all regions have suitable tidal energy resources. Areas with strong and predictable tidal flows are more likely to benefit from tidal turbines.
2. **Technological Advancements:** Tidal turbine technology is still evolving and improving. Advancements in turbine design, materials, and maintenance can enhance their efficiency and reliability. If significant breakthroughs occur in tidal turbine technology, it could increase their competitiveness.
3. **Costs:** The initial installation and maintenance costs of tidal turbines can be higher than land-based wind turbines. The cost-effectiveness of tidal turbines depends on factors like installation depth, turbine size, and local conditions. If costs decrease over time, tidal turbines could become more attractive.
4. **Environmental Impact:** Tidal turbines have fewer visual and environmental impacts compared to land-based wind turbines. They don't disrupt landscapes or bird habitats. Concerns about environmental impact may influence their adoption.
5. **Energy Demand:** The demand for renewable energy is growing globally. Depending on regional energy needs and policies, there may be room for both tidal and wind energy in the energy mix.
6. **Government Policies:** Government incentives and policies can significantly impact the adoption of renewable energy technologies. Supportive policies can encourage the development of tidal energy projects.
7. **Infrastructure:** The availability of suitable infrastructure for tidal energy projects, such as grid connections and maintenance facilities, can affect their feasibility.
In summary, while tidal turbines have advantages in terms of predictability and environmental impact, they face challenges related to cost, technological development, and resource availability. It's challenging to predict whether they will overtake land-based wind turbines entirely, but they may complement other renewable energy sources in regions with favorable tidal conditions. The future of energy generation is likely to involve a mix of renewable technologies to meet growing energy demands and reduce carbon emissions.
Wedding = won't
I've got my divis in cash. Wedding be buying more until 38-39ish or hopefully less. M.O.
Energy = when
If we're going to get a new chairman, make sure he's got one of those HMG type contracts where you get naff all except a wage until the share price reaches 63p... Just like the good ol' days when the share price actually did something even with billions of more shares in the market, ppi etc. etc. Does anybody know including the BOD the target amount of the share buyback programme? Surely someone must of had a target number to reduce energy selling the idea?
@Alas
A really good thing I saw with Ukraine drone use was the other day a group of Ukrainian soldiers had been cut off and we're running low on supplies. Little by little and after very many runs they are delivered enough ammunition and water to hold the fort until they were backed up with other troops. Drones are the future for the air force, army, and navy. The company needs to be looking into the very many uses and possibilities and I am sure they are.
Storage for hydrogen is not an issue for USK.
It was also the most environmentally friendly coal power station in early 2k. Well before SAE bought in.
It's quite possible they may switch it back.
The gas infrastructure is still there. Plenty of options still exist for this site. Quite possibly there is no 1 plan and the business will be moved forward on quick decision making at the time that suits the business.
Is turbine 4 the longest serving turbine? I hope not as this would then suggest that they may be using it as a test for longevity without maintenance.
Getting the thread back on track:
If the IMF report anything just like the BOE and HMG you can guarantee it's a false prediction. I can't remember the last time any of these forecasts we anywhere near correct. Where is an investor to go to get a better picture of what's happening. It almost seems to be a trait required for the role to be able to manipulate data to follow a selected narrative rather than give a true reflection. My opinion we are heading for a very longer and deeper recession than what they are saying. They might smooth over the cracks for a while but they have already been doing that for some years now. Reality is on its way and we have no QE options left to us this time. People who probably put everything they have into paying the mortgage, but that's only applicable if they have the means to do so. I think Lloyds has gone into the property ownership and rental market because they already know that a lot of properties are coming thier way weather they want it or not. Is not line Lloyds to bail out HMG at the expense of shareholders is it.
Well if the central banks are in charge then everything's going to be alright. 🤣 When I said cheap stock I didn't necessary mean Lloyds I was talking in general. I am making my investment choices on the longer the BOE keep raising interest rates the deeper the recession we will have. Europe, Asia and the US sentiment says that our central bank will be going further than theres. I too personally believe this. If we have a few years in recession then it makes it a whole lot easier to sell the EU dream back to the British plebs. Even though it's now looking like Ms Le Pen in France and the AFD in Germany are looking to fold the whole failed project. It wouldn't surprise me if the UK rejoin only to foot the bill at the end of it all knowing the clowns we have in charge and in opposition, who seem to enjoy wrecking the country in favour of their own gravy train.
I've watched lots of TV this past coming fortnight due to ill health. I've watched lots and lots of business reports on Bloomberg, sky, BBC, CNBC etc. etc. One thing they have all said is that it's a certainty that we are going into recession. Why in earth would a long-term Investor plus their money into an investment now when you will obviously be able to pick up these stocks on the cheap in a couple of months? It seems to me that the day traders will be playing a very, very dangerous game. Driving the market even further down. Is a crash also imminent. IMHO yes.
What I'm taking out of this "special operation" is the need for BAE to develop a cheap disposable drone that can fly in swarms and explode on impact. Distance, speed and weight carrying ability at the forefront of design with possibly a anti jammer drone leading the way and a camera spotting drone at the back. Something along them lines. I wonder if this is part of the remit for an aerospace defense company or is it better to focus on planes leaving these to a third party to produce in the hundreds and thousands?
Probably took the best turbine out to sell it on the Hush Hush before the asset count. All actions need to be logged from here on in sharesoc may be the future path for this company I really do hope not but once bitten from ssx twice shy here at sae. Deja vu it feels like.
So nothing to worry about then on the temporary hold on trading until the accounts are released on FRIDAY the 7th of June. I'm in here and want to hope for the best but my head is trying me "FRIDAY why FRIDAY" ffs. Hopefully it's because there's going to be a huge rise in the SP but somehow I fear not.
I believe he is in consultation about naming the bank. If he names this one then my shares are getting sold no matter what the price and my account will be getting closer that's for sure. Nutter may have been a harsh word.
What's the general consensus on politically motivated denial of bank accounts? I know quite a lot on here hate the brexit result and will not rest until it's reversed but, do you think to achieve this banks can work together to deny any political figure or person the right to access banking services of which we can not live without in this day and age?
Do you think it's about time this country had a law enforcing banks to provide the basics to all citizens or are you generally happy because it's only Nigel Farage and the right wing nutters that are getting punished and that it can never happen to a left wing politiciaN.
JUST BORED AND CURIOUS
