Let’s assume oil remains over 100 for a while.
The negatives are strong for many companies. Transport, food, energy etc etc all spiral.
The high cost of electricity = un economical sense to create green hydrogen. And rare earth minerals become very very expensive to purchase increasing costs etc.
But does hydropulse create a window here.. Essentially a free system initially to generate usable gas, if hydro dams, wind and solar power systems paired with a hydropulse model creates a cost effective energy solution?
Or will all renewable energy be directed at the national grid to compensate for loss of energy from oil / gas plants.
I’m just wondering people’s thoughts on a sustained oil price / higher electricity costs in UK and Europe and what it means for ITM.
Hopefully this conflict is resolved sooner than later as oil price at 105 or more for prolonged periods will put significant pressure on many things, transport, goods, food, fuel etc etc
Luckily we have a decent buffer to weather short term pressures. But trying to see if there could be any positives here, one positive is that competitors are in much weaker positions to remain in business who have high debt ( big problem as rates and repayments will rise ) If ITM can keep things going. They might just end up one of the only providers, and have the best facility and product.
Has anyone been thinking about any of this. In a balanced way?
