Roundtable Discussion; The Future of Mineral Sands. Watch the video here.
Well worth checking your address with this website to see what air pollution levels are like.
If it's in the high end , I would try and move before a an estate agent has to legally include it's rating in sales particulars as they do with its energy efficiency.
I can see this possibly devaluing a home or even making it unsellable.
If you happen to live in a high polluting area I would seriously start lobbying your MP now to force the goverment to accelerate it's investment into clean energy, the technology as we all know here is there to eliminate the use of all fossil fuels now.

The hydrogen revolution is real and it will change the world
The Paris Agreement forced countries to get creative with their energy sources and methods

Hydrogen is the clean energy of the future, and always will be, or so runs the old joke. After three false starts in 50 years, one slips easily into cynicism about the EU’s pietistic green targets and voguish talk of the post-fossil hydrogen economy.
But cynics are not always right. The message from hard-headed industrialists at this year’s “energy Davos” surprised even those who keep up with this fast-moving technology. The switch to hydrogen is a fact on the ground; it is accelerating fast; it is heading for much lower costs than sceptics suppose; and future scale is vast.
Along the way, the oil “supermajors” are reinventing themselves for net-zero life, finding a green raison d’être by deploying their engineering and offshore know-how to lock carbon underground and unlock hydrogen above ground. They are no longer the perennial climate villains depicted by the green Taliban. Subtler moral judgment is required.
Saudi Arabia and the Gulf states are also reinventing themselves, aiming to become mass global exporters of zero-carbon fuels for ships, aircraft, or Asian power plants. Abu Dhabi is already developing desert solar power for $1.35 per megawatt hour, tantamount to free energy. This will be converted into hydrogen by Siemens through electrolysis to make clean synthetic jet fuel. Carbon-free air travel is in sight.
Seifi Ghasemi heads the US conglomerate Air Products, the world’s biggest commercial producer of hydrogen. He manufactures mostly dirty “grey hydrogen” from fossils for refineries, industrial uses, or to make ammonia for fertilizers.
Ghasemi is hardly a green romantic. Aged 76, he knows his hydrogen and has seen it all. His conclusion is that this cycle is different from past episodes. Net-zero targets and the Sino-Western hydrogen race have changed the political landscape, and with it the cost calculus. So have rising carbon prices. EU emissions contracts have doubled since October to nearly €42 a tonne. This really bites.
Air Products is going for broke on clean hydrogen, not just the “blue” variant made from natural gas with carbon capture, but also pure “green” hydrogen from renewables. “We are putting in $10bn of our own money,” he told the IHS CeraWeek forum.
First in line is a colossal venture at Saudi Arabia’s NEOM project harnessing wind and solar from the Gulf of Aqaba to generate four gigawatts of power. This will be turned into green ammonia, a form of liquid hydrogen that can be shipped in tankers. Saudi Arabia has already dispatched its first trial load of ammonia to Japan for use in a power plant.

Lol Siddo.......not a Manc. Was heavily influenced by my older brother who is a fan from back in the day of George Best, Bobby Charlton and Dennis Law.
A few years back my brother had two season tickets for him and his son so was lucky to go up to Old Trafford and watch some great matches.
No major volume today yet we see a 13% rise in SP.
As per my post yesterday , I didn't see with the minimal volume traded on a daily basis why the SP dropped.
Anyway, good to see it hit 500p again, obviously a lot of support at the moment.
Everyday is a good day with ITM as far as I am concerned.
We can either buy shares at a give away price thanks to those who haven't got the patience to see this through the next 5 years plus , or like today we just sit and watch the price rise now it looks like we have new buyers taking a position or long termers topping up.
It's a win win as the patient holders will see as the year progresses.
Looking at the trading volumes the last couple of weeks there is no major departure to warrant such a fall.
To me it seems a steady flow of profit takers is what is bringing the SP down.
Once they are flushed out and you are left with the long termers and major shareholders who are not going anywhere we will see the SP rise again.
Who knows when , not sure myself , but soon we will get some decent RNS's coming through which will help.
We are singing from the same hymn sheet Seaangler.
I see this as a minimum 5 year hold from this moment in time.
Of all the companies across the world in the green Hydrogen sector , ITM are up there with the best, which in my mind includes Ballard and Plug.
Have been invested in all three for just over 6 years and have no reason to be worried at the moment.
I can understand short termers taking the money and running , over 200% profit in a year where the FTSE is still well down and some will be facing job uncertainty, along with the other economic uncertainties of Brexit and still more to come from Covid.
Not sure where the floor is going to be , but today's SP looks good value for the future that lies ahead for ITM.
Good publicity . As part of the Hull Gigastack project consortium which won the Green Innovation award , ITM get mention in the article below ........

Maybe Cebons has a load of Oil shares.
Wasted wind or solar is worthless , the green hydrogen it could be producing is priceless in the benefits of getting us to " net zero carbon " is my simplistic view.
It's a win win , unless you are heavily invested in oil and have no vision.
Mercmark, I base my 1500p on what the market cap of Plug Power in the the USA is standing at.
As far as revenues go, Plug is a little ahead of the game , bit over the next 5 years ITM has the potential to not only catch up but overtake Plug.
That may sound simplistic, but you have to start somewhere in having a stab at the future . One thing is for certain in my mind , ITM as a future growth company in the production of green hydrogen will not be going backwards from its current point , just as I thought it wouldn't be 6 years ago when I first invested after doing a bit of research on Hydrogen generally when it was well under the radar.
1500p in my mind is quite conservative for the 5 year period.
Anything is possible in the short term JediJD , but inside the next 5 years today's SP will look very cheap.
I will stick my neck out and way 1500p has to be possible inside the next 5 years at some time with the way green hydrogen is going and the tie ups ITM have with Linde, SNAM and Shell to name but a few.
National Grid are seriously upping the anti to get Hydrogen in the network across the UK, initially 20% , leading to 100% when possible.
That's going to need a lot of Electrolyzers and already ITM are involved with gas to grid projects.
I am not worried about what is happening now , my next review of my long term holding will be in 5 years when I expect to take some more profit out , at at 1500p whatever is the sooner.
In 34 years of being together Seaangler I can count on one hand how many times Mrs Smith had been let loose in the kitchen , like you I am the head chef hence our two children escaped alive to leave the nest.
It's looking like something simple like " Macaroni Cheese " tonight.
Still heading in the right direction today and 600p not out of the question by the time the bell goes on Friday.
I did see your post Seaangler, it caused a slight " chuckle "
Now to decide what gourmet meal to knock up for Mrs Smith this evening.
Thanks to past hydrogen successes I have more time to cook. Looking forward to when I will be cooking on Hydrogen though , produced from an ITM Electrolyzer.
Looks like the sellers have been flushed out now, maybe back to 600p by the end of the week.
Meanwhile ......I'm going to make a " Pork Masala "
Have never been worried about a re-trace when I feel I have done my research correctly.
At some stage in the future when the SP is hanging around 2000p, weeks like this will have been forgotten about.
I'm am already getting excited about ordering a Hydrogen car in five years which strangely Hydrogen shares will be paying for , of that I am 100% certain.
Yes Atko123, people are taking profits in still uncertain timee.
We haven't seen the worst of the effect on the world economy down to Covid-19 as it still unfolds.
In the UK we haven't seen the worst of how Brexit is going to affect our economy.
As of last week some were sitting on 2600% profit here after two years , you would be crazy not to secure some profit in these uncertain times, I did exactly the same back in June last year when I was sitting on 2600% here.
Since then I have been rebuilding a position here out of my profits, but I am certainly not going all in.
I have just taken a tranche at 485p, this is now a 5 year hold in my eyes now, in 2026 today's price will look incredibly cheap is my view.
Nothing has changed in the advancement of Hydrogen since ITM sat at 700p, so take some comfort from that.
Good luck, the future for green hydrogen gets stronger by the week.
