The latest Investing Matters Podcast episode featuring financial educator and author Jared Dillian has been released. Listen here.
Except they know they work because Kier, Mace Dragos, Keltbray, Colas and Acciona etc, have told them they do, have put video evidence online to confirm this and LinkedIn to AFC Energy to support them. And all that was after Extreme E used the tech for two seasons with no issue.
Thanks for links Southerhay and Klunk. And of course the number of units that AFC will need to produce to meet that demand, as Speedy and AFC are both on this roadshow of events. It is likely that AFC have information from their test group already, Kier, Mace Dragos, Keltbray, Colas etc. So this is more likely to identify additional clients. Sound promising to me.
Well done AFC 10,000th follower up! Plenty of people taking notice now.

Actually Speedy, AFC and Green Power Hire are an amazing fit based on AFC's current offerings.

Thanks for post Jimmy. The battery needs charging by a generator for example in this solution https://greenpowerhire.co.uk/day-night-hybrid-power-solution/ . Synergy established.
Hi Klunk I don't see why not, Speedy Hire supported Glastonbury this year.
Michael Eavis and the festival goers at Glastonbury are keen to be green. So diesel will be gone before you know it.

What Is Poop and Scoop?
“Poop and scoop” occurs when a small group of informed people attempts to drive down a stock's price by spreading false information, rumours, and otherwise damaging information. They spread “poop” so they can then buy or "scoop" the stock at a lower price. They can purchase the stock at bargain prices if they're successful because the overall marketplace will have sold off the security and this causes the price to fall dramatically.
“Poop and scoop" is generally frowned upon by securities exchange regulators and it can be prosecuted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).1
Understanding Poop and Scoop
“Poop and scoop” is a deliberate strategy to try to move the market price of a security by releasing or promoting false, negative information about a company or an asset. Participants in a “poop and scoop” scheme intend to buy the targeted security at a discount, knowing that the temporarily depressed market price doesn't reflect the security’s true value. They can then later sell the security at a profit.
The SEC classifies this type of activity as a form of market manipulation and securities fraud under the 1934 Securities Exchange Act.2
“Poop and scoop” is the opposite of a "pump and dump," in which one or more individuals will spread false information on a security in the hope that it will artificially raise the price so they can sell their position at a much higher price.
“Poop and scoop” is somewhat less common than the "pump and dump" strategy. The potential gains that can be realized by pumping up and then selling a low-value stock tend to be greater than those possible by pooping on then selling a well-known, higher-priced stock. But both of these practices are illegal activities and punishable by the SEC in the United States.1
Poop and Scoop vs. Short and Distort
A similar illegal tactic employed by unethical traders is "short and distort." Investors short sell the security and then talk the value down by spreading misinformation for a profit instead of buying the stocks at a discount when false information causes the price to drop. A large investor could also parlay off the noise that genuine shorters are generating by recognizing a legitimate short position being built in a company.
An activist hedge fund could be publicly amassing a short position while making it known that they're launching a campaign against certain corporate actions and are shorting the stock accordingly. A “poop and scoop” or “distort and short” opportunist could help the activist hedge fund by exaggerating and adding to the negative news to capitalize on it. The negative news surrounding the stock would subject it to scrutiny while also accumulating a short position.
Thanks for the link Mucksy. Heading to 10,000 followers for AFC and 3,500 for Adam Bond on LinkedIn.
That's pretty impressive. There were less than 100 a couple of years ago in both cases. A good sign surely that that many stakeholders are following AFC, whether they be current or future clients, shareholders or interested parties.
Thank you MIKODX and to reiterate because this can only mean sales:
Rami Elayan, Chief Executive, TAMGO, said:
" ... with this agreement, we are confident that our combined efforts will establish a prominent presence in the Saudi Arabian and broader regional markets for hydrogen fuel cell generators. "
Slow and steady wins the race.
Using the Speedy website may make the most sense as it's built, tested and operational with all the clients already going there for their generator needs, The RNS says 'available for hire exclusively from the JV through Speedy'. The 'through' bit hopefully means the existing website. Seeing the first hydrogen option will be fantastic for us and the clients . The joint venture element side for AFC is 'coordinating the generator equipment, maintenance, technical support, site preparation and fuelling' etc. Either way can't wait to see this in appear and get taken up by those who have been testing the equipment thus far.
The moment the AFC generators appear on the Speedy Site, in less than 3 months according to the RNS, I'd be amazed if the price fell. It'll be curtains for the shorters then.
Thanks Sturmtrupper. That's the truth, it's the economics that are going to kill off fossil fuels. Renewables have been the cheapest form of power for a few years now. https://www.un.org/en/climatechange/renewables-cheapest-form-power
In fact before we know it, it will be the cheap excess power generated from them that will make ammonia, methanol and hydrogen so much cheaper to produce in the future. The end of fossil fuels is not that far away.
Nissan plan to mass produce all-solid-state-batteries by 2028, and go all electric on sales in Europe by 2030. Well done Nissan. The market will be there so hopefully we can help with the extended recharging infrastructure needed to support that. Can't see the national grid keeping up.

ReoninV, I don't believe this is green washing. There are noticeably more car's with green number plate stripes on the road, so things are visibly changing. From the Zapmap website, which references The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) data ...
How many plug-in cars are there in the UK?
As of the end of August 2023, there were more than 1,385,000 plug-in cars, with around 850,000 battery-electric vehicles and 530,000 PHEVs registered.
Last year, more than 365,000 plug-in hybrid and battery-electric cars were registered, showing a growth of 20% on 2021. There was also a significant shift away from plug-in hybrids towards battery-electric cars, with plug-in hybrid sales declining year on year, while battery-electric vehicle sales have increased.
https://www.zap-map.com/ev-stats/ev-market#:~:text=As%20of%20the%20end%20of%20August%202023%2C%20there%20were%20more,growth%20of%2020%25%20on%202021
So for example Rolls Royce will only produce electric cars from 2030 onwards. That's not going to change whatever political machinations are attempted. https://robbreport.com/motors/cars/rolls-royce-ceo-evs-only-1234808328/
These 10 brands (including Rolls Royce) are committed to the 2030 deadline, or sooner, and this article is from 2022! https://www.gearpatrol.com/cars/g38986745/car-brands-going-electric/?slide=9
I don't think it's going to make any difference as the car manufacturers have geared up to move to electric cars already by 2030. If anything this has just highly irritated them. This decision may get retracted.
As one of the car industry commentators said on radio 4 this morning, they're mandated to move to more electric cars from the 1st January 2024 anyway i.e.
"The ZEV mandate will set annual sales targets for manufacturers from 2024 to 2030, paving the way for all new car and van sales to be zero emission by 2035. In 2024, these targets will be 22% for cars and 10% for vans. These targets will be increased to 80% and 70% in 2030 respectively."

Surely a green BMW i4 would be more appropriate, if funds suffice, recharged using AFC's fuel cells through a BESS system in the near future?
If a large number of shares were to be made available this week, at competitive prices, then no doubt they would be soon snapped up by private and institutional investors such as these - https://www.afcenergy.com/investors/aim-rule-26/shareholders.
As future cash flow may change significantly in the coming months do not rely solely on intrinsic value as a basis for valuing the stock. Rear view mirror pricing would not be sensible to value this for the future, quelle surprise. In fact many large tech companies would have failed that test before revenue flows began.
Individual choice of course, but based on potential income from joint ventures, govt grants, extended trials etc. worth considering alternative outcomes to intrinsic value. This method suits the shorter's position of course, so no surprise that this is being put forward.
From Klunk's earlier post from the government website relating to "Brett Aggregates, a quarry operator and cement supplier" and the AFC equipment to be used ...
... "the H-Power S+ Series is a liquid-cooled fuel cell generator to be operated with a BESS with a minimum usable capacity of 184kWh."
I think that will power a lot more than a kettle, perhaps even some electric vehicles.
Although a hot cup of tea is always welcome.
