Offshore wind industry unveils Industrial Growth Plan to create jobs, triple supply chain manufacturing and boost UK economy by £25 billion

The plan aims to provide a shared vision which enables industry, Governments across the UK and other funders to better align their investments to boost green jobs and manufacturing in the UK. The plan envisages mobilising nearly £3 billion of funding nationwide, with private finance doing the heavy lifting. This will bring a return to our economy of just under £9 for every £1 invested.

Gold is sniffing out monetary and geopolitical dystopia

ForrestGump - Interesting article in Daily Telegraph

Apowerful force is stalking the world’s gold market. It is operating in the shadows.

None of the normal footprints are visible on the London bullion market or the Chicago Mercantile. Retail goldbugs have not been buyers: ETF gold funds have been shrinking since December. The crowd is piling into the Bitcoin scam instead.

Yet gold has smashed through a four-year barrier around $2,000 an ounce, rising in parabolic fashion since mid-February, and hitting an all-time high of $2,431 on April 11. Is somebody preparing for an escalation of the shadow Third World War?

The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero also asked Baringa to recommend potential industry or policy-based interventions that could address those constraints for the period up to 2035.

Through interviews with over 80 renewables developers, network operators, suppliers, and trade associations, as well as modelling of many aspects of supply and demand, we assessed the four supply chains that support UK renewables deployment.

The study identified a range of constraints, causes, and opportunities across renewable energy and network supply chains.

For offshore wind, floating foundations, export cables, balance of plant (HVDC and HVAC stations), turbine and foundation vessels, cable vessels, and ports were at the highest risk of delay.
