John Redwood@johnredwoodThe main reason our steel industry is struggling is the impact of extra high taxes on energy used by business. Time to suspend those taxes to keep the jobs and output here.7:18 am · 27 Jun 2022·Twitter Web App

Anyone who bought the market at any point in 2007 or 2008 and held would be way up today, even if they bought at the peak right before the crash. No magic ball required if your investing horizon is long enough.

AI for optimization is next for Shell

Now, Shell has commercialized its AI predictive maintenance applications built with C3 AI software. Going forward, Jeavons says the company is now laser-focused on optimization.


“This means we can identify ways of producing more efficiently, generating more output for the same cost and more importantly, we can also look at the CO2 footprint of these processes and start to optimize accordingly,” said Jeavons.

In the near future, he added, Shell is also exploring how AI can be leveraged to monitor carbon capture, storage installations and methane levels.

“These ventures involve making our existing business more effective and efficient, but also play a key role in our energy transition strategy,” he said.

Anthony BargainScience allows us to calculate the energy available from any light source (including the sun) when the light falls upon a surface. And guess what? At 100% efficiency with zero conversion losses there still isn't enough energy to power a car or any other sort of vehicle from panels mounted on the vehicle. But worse than that, we never get 100% efficiency. In fact Solar panels are usually able to process only 15% to 22% of solar energy into usable energy. This leads to a fact that the marketeers, gullible governments and gullible consumers tend to overlook - the unavoidable reality that solar and all other renewable energy technologies simply cannot generate enough energy to replace fossil fuels. It has been calculated that to provide 100% of the UK's electricity, even at maximum sun output (summer solstice at noon), solar panels 4x the area of the UK would be needed. It remains baffling why so many are fooled by the delusion of battery cars, solar panels, wind farms and heat pumps. It is as though the masses are being intentionally misguided to deliver massive profits to the few. Surely not... Daily Telegraph

Buying £25 for £20. Seems like a good deal to me.Plus dividends....

Shell can do with similar breaking up of businesses. Major shareholders should be less worried about green transition. What use is working on green energy of future when the present social fabric could collapse without oil and gas? The woke board of Shell is already realizing this that their bs powering progress strategy of green washing itself is not suitable anymore? CEO BvB already brought it up during the AGM, querying about investors questioning whether this strategy of 2021 needs changing. US commentators on Seeking Alpha think shell focuses too much on diversity at the expense of talent. This wokeness needs to be flushed out by more active investors, hopefully will see Elliott management types joining to get rid of these useless management layers. Europe needs more activist investors

I can see this jumping 20% at some point. Probably around strong results and/ or big cash return announcement

The price appears to be tracking the actual price of crude and not the forward profitability based on the crude price.

To be honest the greatest oil company of all time for me was Cairn energy. It was split into two halves; a risk free cash generative cash flow producer and a similarly risk based explorer. The risk half of the company managed to turn 7 million into 3 billion by exploring oil wells in India. It had top class management. They don’t come much better than that do they?

Would you rather be invested in Shell or BP?
