Clued - beggers belief doesn't it. All the nay sayers (politicians, TUC, Greenpeace, A.N.Other) take the spoils of modern life and more wealth than the average joe but complain about the likes of Shell making such big profits. Even if all the profit was taken in tax very little of it would go the way of the consumer. It would all end up in some black hole of debt created by government or in their back pockets. Stop them drilling and see what happens in a decade or so when all of a sudden it's sorry folks we never invested and we haven't got enough wind turbines or hydrogen or rare earths for batteries that don't work yet and economies grind to a halt. There's a place for all the new technologies alongside fossil fuels. Not instead of. We are a long way from that one.
Mr Math - you are quite right. I worked at AZ until voluntary redundancy in June 2012. The SP was around £37 then. So everyone just chill. £85 is way better isn't it. Just keep them for the divs. Patent cliff gone now remember.
Neversellshell - looks interesting making ethanol from hydrogen and carbon dioxide. Combustion of any hydrocarbon (ethanol) generates water vapour and carbon dioxide. Unless it produces less CO2 (I don't know) than kerosene not too certain how this is that green. Granted it won't have come from oil but will it be as clean as we think. Just being devils advocate. An interesting dilemma.
NorthScot- oops sorry pal. I'll keep my thoughts to myself. I fly with EZJ and I'm invested but a bit of sympathy towards an unhappy punter does no harm does it? Remember this is a chat board too not just an investment board. Nothing any of us say here has any influence on a share price. No more from me now mate otherwise it goes down the path of A.Smithy!
Cluelesshareboy - we all need/want electricity, no escaping that. No way can it come from just wind farms and hydro schemes. But we are told coal, oil and gas are not green/clean enough. That leaves no choice other than nuclear. Small modular reactors is a way forward as Cookie says. Give it a decade and the politicians/green lobby will have to accept we can't do without fossil fuels. Will have to look at cleaner ways of using them too. At a price of course but we will just have to pay or go without which no one will accept.
Fugazi - if 2% of CO2 emissions come from air travel that presumably means 98% is from other sources. Can't help wonder why air travel is often singled out. Never seem to here much about other contributors except from cars.
Phyl - I follow this forum. I am an ex employee of AstraZeneca having retired in 2012 from a career in oncology discovery chemistry and agree with you when you say AZ is a BBC. They really do look after their employees current and past very well. Their handling of the vaccine supply is second to none and all the EU rhetoric earlier this year is just that and nothing else. They are indeed an excellent set up.
pedrolancaster - had mine yesterday. I'm still here at the moment. Some good muscle aches this morning but it's not going to stop me doing anything. Like I've been carrying a heavy rucksack. I'm not worried about blood clots.
