Hello Cureboy,

I'm similar to yourself. Previously, I had to sell my ISA allocation in order to move home (which I wasn't happy about - the "joys" of marriage!?!).

However, that now means my entire holding is in my SIPP instead too. I don't have to wait 12 years like yourself but I'm still a few years away at least.

This share has been up and down all over the place over the years but in all that time the company appears to be moving in the right direction to me.

Fingers crossed the revenues can start appearing so to make the way ahead a little less choppy in terms of share price activity.

I would have thought that Trump not being President in the US coupled with a President who cares about climate change would have more of an effect with regard to the sentiment towards the sector as that would be totally different. As well as opening up the US for ITM too. But, I can forget about that possibility for at least another 2.5 years. And even then, there's no guarantee the next President will be any better in this regard.

Please explain. Why do you say that a Burnham blow out win will confirm govt carbon zero policy? Thanks.

Rightly or wrongly, there are many institutions and people who will have seen more money wiped off their portfolios than me.

In essence, I don't believe the actual situation has changed at all. Therefore, as a result, I'm prepared to play the waiting game for the time being.

If anything, I'd like to invest more at these lower levels, but I won't be doing so given my money is tied up in other things.

Perhaps James Bond finally collared him :)

@digitalis - thank you

Troublesome - that was rather glum for a Friday afternoon.

That said, I'm guessing the BMW i5 version will be rather pricey so I might need to go with another manufacturer instead :)

Digitalis - thank you for letting me know what glah was supposed to mean.

If there were enough fuelling stations around and close to me, I would definitely get the BMW i5 version given I really don't want to get an electric car as I simply don't trust electric batteries or want the hassle of continually having to charge my car overnight. So the news that hydrogen refuelling stations are starting to be thought about again is music to my ears.

Digitalis - tbh, the thought of hydrogen cars is what got me real sweet on ITM power in the first place given the upside would be enormous (and it would be a continual need as well), if that ever were to come to pass. I'm not convinced that will happen though unfortunately (it's more just a hope/wish at this time), but there's still more than enough on offer with everything else to keep me engaged and interested here.

Ijr1 - I'm rather ashamed to say but I had to look up what glah stood for and I must admit I'm still no wiser as there appears to be a number of different ones out there. So what does your glah stand for? Thanks :)

I've read what people are saying about what we need to break even in terms of how many Neptune's we need to sell.

However, I have a question that I doubt that anybody can answer mainly because it's a total unknown.

But, at what point are we not able to sell any more given everybody who needs one already has one?

I mean, it's not like everybody has £4m sitting in their back pocket.

Or is the point, if we ever reach that point that we'd already being laughing anyway given we would have sold plenty?

A very encouraging increase in the share price. More of the same please.

A most optimistic outlook.

A nice way to start the w/end.

A few more of these would be great and the odd one being 3 digits MW would be happily received too.

I should be ok as I'm old enough.

But there really is no care for younger and future generations.

Trump and other politicians simply don't care for the future as they won't be around to see it. They just care about themselves and getting voted into and kept in power. It's a very selfish attitude.

@Digitalis

I do hope so at last!

If I changed my previous message to just say government, my same point remains. As soon as any governments are involved things just take a long time to push through

The UK government is involved, what do you expect?

For that matter, it's of little consequence whether that government is blue or red.

The predicted revenue for next year is said to be around 20m.

Does that mean that even if a 500MW FID were to happen that it likely wouldn't affect the revenue for next year but for some future time instead?
