It is a story of damage done by the one child policy causing a demographic time bomb:

This paragraph stood out:

"The ongoing baby bust in China has already lowered its share of the world working age population from a peak of 24 per cent to 19 per cent, and it is expected to fall to 10 per cent over the next 35 years. With a shrinking share of the world’s workers, a smaller share of growth is almost certain."

Good YouTuber

"Well done to all holders ,a nice 250 pct rise in share price over last few weeks ."

I missed the share price going over 20p.

Maybe let ocelot know if you are one of the few he has not filtered

More like 5000 moderators [3500 contract workers and some of the actual 5000 Twitter staff fired].

Copper - bear in mind that the Chinese have been spending ridiculous amount on refinery capacity to corner the market in refining. They will be importing concentrate... this is important as closeness to a refiner will become less important unless countries put barriers / tariffs and / or other hurdles in place.

OBR - In 2023-24, we expect a deficit of £131.6 billion

GOV is expected to borrow £360m a day... How the fück can you cut taxes even if you shave a few billion of poor peoples benefits? And to fund a tax cut for dead people?

There have been terrible tales of terminal people having been assessed as able to work... And, the assessments are done by a For Profit Company who are incentivised to remove as many people as possible from their lists.

So you get kicked off sick benefits and denied the funds to appeal your case.

Proper #CONservatism.

ZYX098,

Upset?

No, just pointing out that salt caverns are not needed. They were dreamed up when the fossil fuel industry was trying to get GOV to put a mix of hydrogen into the gas network to extend the years that homes would use gas. Since then, Heat Pumps have been shown to be more efficient than the Tories client media portray [why would the Scandinavian countries use them if they were no good in the cold?] and the use of Hydrogen in the gas network has been demonstrated to be a bad idea because of the amount of hydrogen that would escape.

Adrian,

Tick, tock, how much time is left on the clock on this latest account?

When Hydrogen is used as a back-up power source, it will mainly be stored as Ammonia; there will be no need for salt cavern or any other gaseous storage. But feel free to keep buying 2nd hand shares in UKOG - someone has to keep The Dear Leader in the style and comfort that he has become used to on shareholders expense.

If this poll bore out, the Conservatives would be reduced to just 62 seats. Sunak himself would lose his seat.

More laughs... As Lord Cruddas posted recently: "The coup is complete, remain has won" so Scotland need not worry; the whole of the UK will be back sooner than you think / want.

A 5-year plan. Don't tell the Gammons that the CONservatives are copying the Soviet Union.

This research was highlighted by Hydrogen Twitter yesterday. This is a different approach to electrolysis and could find economic advantages when installed alongside any heat generating manufacturing process, such as steel. If adds a dimension to ITM and CWR that few will be aware of.

A bit heady reading, so I asked Claude to 'summarise this document for a non-scientific investor in the emerging hydrogen economy'

Here is a summary of the key points from this report on solid oxide electrolysis technology for a non-scientific investor:

- Solid oxide electrolysis enables high-efficiency hydrogen production by using high temperatures and tapping into external heat sources. This gives it a potential efficiency advantage over mainstream polymer electrolyte (PEM) and alkaline electrolyzers.

- The technology is not as immature as commonly perceived. Over 1 GW of very similar solid oxide fuel cells have already been commercially deployed worldwide. Some manufacturers now offer solid oxide electrolysis products at small commercial scale.

- Manufacturing capacity can be readily scaled up by experienced players. The leader, Bloom Energy, already has 2 GW stack manufacturing capability. Raw materials availability is not an issue.

- Key applications suited to solid oxide electrolysis include chemicals production, oil refining, and steelmaking where ample process heat is available. Coupling with nuclear power plants is challenging.

- Main technology hurdle is scaling up from current small modules to large, hundreds of MW systems preferred by industry. Success here would make solid oxide the preferred electrolyzer technology for sites with heat.

- For investors, technology immaturity perception hampers deployment today but positions solid oxide as a potential disruptor. Costs should fall sharply if manufacturing scales. But project development risks remain until large pilots demonstrate performance.

In summary, solid oxide electrolysis offers efficiency benefits that position it well to serve industrial markets once technology scaling challenges can be overcome. For investors this represents risk today but large potential upside if promised cost declines and efficiency gains are realized.

Adrian,

Was your last account snatched away by Admin? Are you going to wilt and get offended by people using the A-word?

It is about time we had a waste water convoy to excite dreamers and stimulate a Santa Rally. Maybe Adrian will take a break from spamming this board the next time it rains and snap some pictures of tankers with Hazard Plates?
