interesting read Shaun ... electrolysis would look to be the best and most efficient, if ultra cheap leccy can be used .... but gaseous H2 is massively risky for handling and storage
Any one that can crack water in fuel out cells will make some ££££. Combine that with produce it as you need it means you won’t need to handle or store. I really should get off the internet and start playing with some hydrogen cells!! 😂😂😂😂

the oil companies have a back catalogue of peoples' inventions that have been bought up/acquired , over the years and will eventually magically produce them for commercial use ... when they'm no longer able/allowed to make money from oil :rolleyes: ..... 'til then ... :cry:

Like the motor industry you have tesla producing electric cars but main manufacturers bringing hybridsc in then plug in hybrids etc. At the end of the day they don't want to sell you the final product they want to sell three or four in between first.

Not a fan then Rory?
There is a saying i've known for some time, Want Quality, use WM. Want Cheap use........ They undercut to f**k back when I was working for Tim to push firms out of the gravel pits, they have done similar elsewhere and tried to sink Mr Gray not long ago by moaning on Linked In about OEM/CE marking...

I'm a great fan as you know of practising what you preach.... so to be slagging on the OEM thing whilst still running non OEM equipment but pretending it is is a little disappointing :(

LOL Ollie ...... I started working for myself 40 years ago .... seems like yesterday ... dunno WTF it went :unsure: ....
can recall handing my notice to the guy I was working for, back then - he was a hard but fair man and I did all sorts for him - could drop onto all sorts if someone was missing for the day ... had about 40 guys on fabricating and machining, amongst lots of other things
he took it a lot better than I'd expected .. can see his face now - long gone though ... retired and died of a brain tumour a few weeks later ... I liked him (y)

Well that’s probably because he’d of known way before you did, that you’d end up going by yourself one day🙂. Heard similar thing recently about a lad I’m working with at the moment, they know they’ve only got another year or so with him before he’s going to have a go by himself and more often or not, that’s how a lot of companies start up.
I always remember speaking to my old boss about wanting to have a go by myself, and, as you know, I was going to get a blade, but, after a good talk with him, he put me on the path for a duck. And his parting words to me where, “I wish you the best of luck, and, if it doesn’t work out, don’t worry, there always a place back here for you.”

It really is good been able to read and see what you’ve managed to achieve over your years doing what you done, with hopefully many more years to come.🙂.

All joking aside,allowing Trump to say it's only 'short term' n price for June to d $25 barrel,this is such a shock on top of everything else.......what next?
Gonna be a lot of people who were expecting a re bound n caught out,on leverage,unlimited loss till it stops?
Future supply n price?
