We would love to hear your thoughts about our site and services, please take our survey here.
Agree.. until the first one is built and ppl can see it..
it’s just taken them an age to get to this stage and still it’s no where near. 2 years ago we were held up “for migratory birds”… stalking. If it really was “the answer” someone would surely have put a lot of mkney and effort in to getting it done.
Frustrating to say the least
Doesn’t look like there was a lot of research done but”the miner” if they’re having to switch off bc it’s hot and one of the windiest places in the US isn’t. **** happens but this isn’t good - particularly if , as stated on here by a few, Argo are leveraged / mortgaged up to their necks.
Should have gone to Iceland- joke!!
If Argo have to dilute again to keep the lights on they/ we are surely in some Deep trouble??
That is brilliant news. I sincerely hope that PHE et al can now push on (quickly).
Seems to have had little affect on the SP. Few more obstacles to overcome for this not fly??
Just ONE up and running would be a good start…
Tiresome (lack of) progress…
Apologies as this is the CUSN board.. but good to see the investment in E3 after recent weeks. Traded out/ in for £ and more shares. A nod to MO for pointing us in this direction last year!
I’ve read the latest info from the company.. looks like it’s going well. Why the sudden drop in SP??
Indeed… just putting the rubbish in a different bin.
HODL was the word 12-18 months ago from PW from his broom cupboard and many believed followed and agreed. Been a right ride— wish I’d just got off anywhere near £3. Greed. Oh Bugger!!
They always have their own interests at heart!!
Typical USA .. they’d rather capture it , than stop producing it!
Having being “here” for few years now , despite the potential, I have to ask myself “ is this for real”?
If this technology is as good as we think why has it been “killed” for so long?? There has literally been no progress to speak of. A bit of road at PROTOS, the former MP that did nothing….
It really has turned from potentially brilliant to a joke. New CEO has hardly hit the ground running has he?
Losing £ and extremely disappointed.
Bottom draw now :-(. As no point selling for 1/2 my money back.
Finally… never understood the fascination with wind… it isn’t windy every day, but the moon goes round and sea moves … ad finitum
Is he just doing his own (paid) subscription now???
Why are “we” happy with basically selling everything we mined? Big project on the go but 12-18 months ago it was all HODL bc the BTC price is / will increase
Now no mention and no homely videos from Pete’s cupboard!!!
Would also like to know what’s happening with our Pluto investment
The $5m that Epic have…
Especially as we seem to be struggling for cash!!!
Are NEL providing the electrolysers??
Does seem to bounce about a bit this share.
I am resigned now To waiting a couple of years and hopefully it will tick up in that time.
Not expecting any big moves, unfortunately
Similar average here also but I was in almost 2 years ago.. saw it hit £27+ but held on foolishly and last 2 “releases” have been bad for company and SP! Was hopeful of steady growth and a buy out like Team17 ..
Hoping F1 will be good.. last price prediction I saw recently- brenberg et al was c.£18. If it goes north of that I’ll be out.
GERMANY
SCHROEDER!!!!
if it had just been Slovakia, Estonia …
EU would have pulled plug on Russian Gas but… biggest economy in Europe. Got a lot to answer for.
Personally thought about it for years.
Tides always run..
don’t know why they binned the lagoon in Swansea but this idea is perhaps better
Can you imaging the electricity you could generate across the Humber, Bristol / Seven channel
If it’s near the bottom what does a storm matter!!
…. unlike schemes for large-scale nuclear plants. Reliable income streams would come from selling the electricity, using the water for cooling, and selling green hydrogen.
If we want both energy independence and levelling-up, then generating electricity in tidal river basins looks like the next big idea.
In the telegraph today…
Tidal electricity generation is among the ideas listed by Boris Johnson as a way of avoiding reliance on Putin’s Russia. It is an even stronger candidate than he might have realised, holding out the promise not only of increasing our energy independence but also levelling up. A group of scientists and engineers has shown how we could generate electricity using tidal energy that does not require the building of a costly lagoon, like the cancelled scheme for Swansea Bay.
Schemes based on using tidal river basins would increase energy security, reduce reliance on authoritarian dictatorships, increase "levelling up", and (unlike other renewables) require no government subsidy. Moreover, unlike wind and solar, there is no intermittency problem and electricity is generated round the clock every day of the year.
A considerable amount of electricity could be generated on derelict, brownfield sites that lie adjacent to the major industrial rivers in the UK. They are former shipyards, chemical works, salt pans, wharves and ironworks that have been abandoned.
In essence the plan involves taking over a derelict riverside site, near the sea (to use the full tidal range) but far enough inland to avoid sea storms. A simple concrete and steel construction, like a dry dock, is all that’s required. Turbines work between the river and the excavated basin, which is subdivided into chambers with turbines in the dividing walls. When the tide comes in, through the turbines, it makes electricity and when it goes out, it also passes through turbines to make electricity. Some water is held back in the chambers to keep generating while the tide is turning.
Housing could be built on the roof of the basin and sold to help recover capital costs. The sites could also be used as a base for frozen food factories. The frozen food industry is a very heavy user of electricity but siting a large operating plant over a tidal basin would enable the turnover of cold tidal water to act as the cooling reservoir and take a considerable load off the grid.
An even heavier user of electricity is the data storage industry. The amount of power used to cool enormous memory banks is huge. Google, Microsoft, Amazon, and Facebook, as well as the NHS, are all concerned about the cost of keeping vast computer facilities cool. This burden could be taken off the grid by transferring it to the cold water circulating in the tidal basin. Green hydrogen could also be manufactured by electrolysis using on-site electricity when not required by the national grid.
About 40 potential sites have been identified. The most promising are on the Tyne (former dry docks), at the Forth (former salt pans), the Tees (former ICI works), the Orwell (another former ICI site), and Swansea (a former BP chemical works and a former steelworks). Each would be capable of generating around 400MW.
The opportunity for inward investment is huge and no government subsidy is required, unli
