Ilovesushi, do you know what the loss is per battery?
Or perhaps what the (break-even) cost per battery is - and what the market is willing to pay?
Or perhaps point me in the right direction - I am genuinely interested to know or work it out. Seems rather critical!
TheOldTrader highlights all the opportunities - but at the end of the day sales are required and at a profit - so do we run out of money before enough (profitable) sales come through? The million pounds question.
Wannabe-Despot Don is already trying to shift the (his) narrative to this being short-term pain for long-term gain... so that's what the Cult of the Orange Man Baby will now believe. I think they are going to put up with a lot more crap before they come to the realisation he's maybe as good as he says he is. The psychological barrier to admit being duped is very high.
Hardly “darkly apocalyptic”. I’d say living through the likes of Aleppo, Gaza or Maruipol were (is) apocalyptic. For most it was inconvenient (and not where hospitals back up generators failed).
Anyway, lessons learned as always.
Solar and wind intermittency isn’t an unknown. Their efficiency is. Electrification is happening. Problems will be solved.
One of the issues is vested interests and their lobby groups; we all know when making money no one wants to make less.
5 mins in to the video: she may have a physics background but her memory is a little suspect: the August 2019 blackout affected over 1 million people, about 5% of the population and not 40% as she suggested. £10m in fines were paid out by those that found to have made errors during the response. I hope she’s is more exacting in her analysis in the rest of the video which I shall persevere with.
Regional pricing of electricity is perhaps one part of the solution to high electricity prices.
Seems to have been shaking since the last high - I’m not a chartist but I can see the trend line downward over the past couple of months, quite a straight line down.
Hopefully this is just the winter storms and Spring hopes eternal.
So the return depends on how much you paid for your share - though don’t forget to factor in how long you’ve held your shares to get a equivalent annual percentage - eg 6% over 4 years is about equivalent to 1.5% p.a.
Or you could just take the sp now and work out a return (which is the usual calculation).
Either way, it’s 6p per share - a little ‘bonus’ on top of the share price rise over the past year(s).
