If the blue bar is a measure of the interest shown compared to its nearest competitors, Lloyds, BP etc, it has smashed them out of the ballpark. Is this a new phenomenon? And if so what does it mean?
Professor Sir David Melville, wrote about Cleeve Hill too. Here is an interview with him. I can't seem to get the thing to work on my ancient iPad, but here it is anyway.
The guy who made the original case was very well informed about the fires that Li batteries had caused in the USA. He cited actual reports and sent his stuff to someone in Govt. to appeal any decisions that had been taken to go ahead with the Cleeve Hill project. He made a very good case about the toxic gases that were released in such fires and the danger that this would put people in in surrounding residential areas. I can't remember his name now but I recall that he was a GP with a lot of scientific knowledge. He had certainly done his homework.
I got an email from the Faversham Society today concerning its efforts to stop Lithium batteries being used for the BESS project at Cleeve Hill.
According to their website, "so far as they can determine Cleeve Hill proposals have not been approved by the Health & Safety Executive or Kent Fire and Rescue Service"
For those of you who haven't been following this some local hero who is a distinguished scientist, has written a series of articles drawing attention to the thermal runaway and ensuing fires, and asked for them to be replaced with VRFBs. He has also insisted that the proposal be checked by the HSE and local fire services.
Does anyone know what caused the spike in the price of Vanadium in both 2005 and 2008?
2018 was an odd affair because common sense says that a 30% increase in demand to meet Chinese rebar standards shouldn't cause a 500% increase in price. So what's driving them and when can we expect the next spike?
And while it may be true that the edge has been blunted off the takeup of VRFBs by the pandemic, I doubt there is enough Vanadium available in the world to accommodate more than a moderate increase in takeup. BMN only need enough orders for electrolyte that it can currently manage to supply.

MEM, I was feeling relieved that the title of your post had disappeared for good, but it's back again! Can't you change the title to something less alarming, please?
Couldn't agree more Linden. I never thought that SPA was much of an asset to BMN. Apart from not demonstrating that it understands the progress of the company properly in its presentations, I agree that SPA should do a lot more the advise on things like PR, particularly frequency of RNSs. Isn't that what the ad in Nomad stands for?
OK, let me put it this way. Yellow Dragon, Acacia Resources, Orange Trust and Golden Summit have held onto or increased their collective holdings over the past 12 months. Presumably these people aren't fools and know a good investment when they see one.
SDS, I think we can be confident that most if not all of HLs holding is made up of PIs like ourselves. The point I was making in my original,post is that we have seen little movement in the number of shares held by the top ten largest over the past year. What changes there have been are increases. To me that means the shares are consolidating and hardening in these top ten accounts.
