Whitlee 40MW - Case update - Report submitted to Scottish Ministers - Target date for decision 07/12/24 - We are 2 years in! |
Maybe ! Given the generated renewable electrons , timing and usage , Hydrogen through electrolysis will play a key role, for shipping, air fuel, cement , steel and heavy transport. The smart folk will extend the life of the plant probably doubling it and keep refreshing the stacks. The smart school of Linde, Schulz will survive to prosper. Others will go down the Plug |
You've escaped nothing.
You don't even see the trap. |
Today, the UK has reached an incredible 30GW of combined offshore and onshore wind energy capacity! 🌍💨 Wind has now overtaken gas to become the #1 source of electricity in the UK, providing 28% of the nation’s energy needs.
As the largest source of clean power, wind contributed over 60% of all renewable electricity in 2023. 🌱💡
At RWE, we’re proud to play our part, with 42 wind farms across the UK with over 2.6GW of installed capacity. And we’re just getting started! 🚀 With 1.5GW+ under construction, we're powering the future. ⚡ |
They've already started.. Labour ditching the ridiculous fuel payment for `rich` pensioners...Is a good start.

skinny - it hadn't escaped my attention that no-one was offering feasible solutions :¬) |
Edited - A re-hash of post 32958. |
Supernumerary - no one mentioned solving the problems, but they are there writ large - its just that no one in power of whatever hue, will acknowledge them. |
I remember at junior school (7-10) we had very good cooking lessons - but only for the girls!
It worked though, as most women of my generation are pretty decent cooks :-) |
Just you, Super. (Big smiley face) |
Is there any problem you guys couldn't solve? |
I doubt Labour will do much about benefits. The Robin Hood mantra rules.
Everyone knows that the obese cannot help it when people are always ramming food down their throats.
You only have to look at the success of large carryout/delivery food chains to realise how many people do not cook for themselves. That is despite the high cost.
When I was at secondary school, a long time ago (sad face), we did a cookery class in the first year. I learnt absolutely nothing there. Schools should have serious cookery teaching, for all years, so that young people can learn to make healthy meals and eat sensibly when they become independent. I guess one problem is constant snacking between meals.
All the fancy cookery competitions on TV are more likely to put people off just making simple wholesome meals. |
Sadly, we also need to look closer to home - like the benefits system.
Multi generational indigenous families, who have never worked, milk the system and add an ever increasing burden.
Covid has obviously added and extra layer, with people now unwilling to go to work AND do the hours they are paid to do - try calling any helpline during school run time.
And don't get me started about "not my fault I'm obese".
Today's mantra seems to be "everyone has rights, no one has responsibilities". |
Well we weren't in a good place before Labour came to power. At least they are being candid about what these Tory vandals have been doing for the last c8 years and more, or not been doing more like.
They need to tax the oil cos and the tech co`s properly Reverse the self inflicted wounds of Brexit- They are starting to do that IMO. Stop blaming migrants for the country's problems and Gov failure....Labour are stating to do this too.. Be honest with where we are. They are doing this. Sugar coating, hiding the problems, and repeating `we`ll be fine` ad nauseam, Johnsons` inane boosterism for instance, just doesn't cut it. |
The UK is bankrupt and we are not creating the wealth needed to change that fact.
One of the main causes of this disastrous situation is that we import far too many products that we are perfectly capable of making ourselves. For example, we import far too many Mercs, Beemers, Audis and all the rest, due in no small part to brand snobbery of people who 'must' make the right impression in their local clubs or social groups.
It seems to me that it is far more important to suck up to the EU so that we can give them even more free, unhindered access to our markets while the EU makes it as difficult as they can for us to export to them, e.g. the Windsor Framework. For the past several years, I have not seen English tomatoes in my local Tesco in Belfast.
It is great that we can all buy goods that are made more cheaply abroad. That is a fallacy. The true costs should have a large premium for the social costs of lost jobs and reduced Income and Corporation Tax-take from manufacturing.
Now, the chickens are coming home to roost with Labour threatening growth by increasing taxes substantially. They talk about the huge mess left by the Tories while ignoring the fact that the Tories spent their first term from 2010-2015 introducing austerity in a failed attempt to clean up the mess left to them by Labour.
Now Labour is cancelling oil production in the UK so we will have to import more oil from abroad until renewables can make up the shortfall. They say, 'The oil goes to Rotterdam!' Really? Do they not understand that if we sell the oil which we do not need, we can then use the proceeds to buy the oil we do need? Of course, they do understand but dogma rules. All part of the Leftie agenda to provoke a revolution with the aim of forming a Socialist dictatorship with someone like Putin at the top.
As for ITM, they are caught in a Catch 22 of insufficient demand for H2, partly because of lack of demand which in turn is caused by lack of National infrastructure. |
We seem to continue getting diluted while we were stuffed and spending money on RNS releases too often to declare giving shares away. Enough already! Cooley and Bone should cough up the freebies they grafted |
A lot of Plug's problems are due to its involvement in liquid hydrogen. |
As already stated Plug are on borrowed time in more ways than one. They have a loan that will never be paid back and a competitor waiting in the wings to take over their existing customers. Nope not ITM but Bosch. |
Well plug has hit a new all time low overnight. Itm is a different besst but not yet in the eyes of the market. Hydrogen as a fuel won't disappear like betamax. More to it than that l. That's just lose all your self respect - supporting a short talk. The shorters got more balls or info than I at this level |
I think this outfit is doomed
Hydrogen just isn’t catching on as a renewable |
