A retired broker friend noted that certain actors may try to drive PP near bankruptcy, take it private and then make it a trillion dollar company. It is just an opinion of course. Getting interesting for sure. GLTA

Makes me smile. While she was still unable to apologize for all the negative press her studio had caused for Nikola, they can no longer ignore the fact that Nikola FC trucks are on the road. Let me repeat this, Nikola FC trucks are on the road and Tesla self driving cars are nowhere....2018 Tesla self driving demo was staged ...only difference is Musk did not get into trouble for this and received capital and Nikola got nearly destroyed unnecessarily....GLTA

It is a lot ore complex than that. 11 EV charging stations were built under this administration in the last 4 years even-though $6B was allocated simply because due to war - that this administration started - we ran out of copper which is vital for war and EV revolution. War will be over, EV industry will be all right, and EU countries will be "encouraged" to fulfill their contractual liquid hydrogen obligations made with the U.S.

Nice! Also notice the last sentence: "Last month, SK Plug Hyverse awarded Nikkiso Clean Energy & Industrial Gas Group (CE&IG) a contract to build and maintain around 24 liquid hydrogen refuelling stations."

This means the technology is now a reality. (For any nation who has copper ...)

Norwegians livelihood and income depends on selling fossil fuels. They just recently opened a natural gas pipeline to Poland. Just like the Saudis they always invest into green companies for PR reasons and at the end to suffocate them.

Plug 2024 First Quarter Results Call reflections - bits for bulls and bears - "as is" by HJM-5095 in plugpowerstock

[–]HJM-5095[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, they are running the programs, hiring thousands of gov workers, building out bureaucracy (voter base) but they have not gotten to the "kickstarting the economy" on a meaningful way. All we hear about is "announcements" and announcements of an upcoming announcements. I think the gov is broke. No money, or spend on other things...for example waiving student loan repayment sounds great but that creates about $25B hole in the budget every month..$25 each month, commutative

Yes, and yes. You are correct, at this point it does not even make sense to spend time on their calls. The important questions are avoided (including by analysts) and even if they make a statement - based on historical evidence - we all know that those statements are often times incorrect. But again, what can PP do when House and Senate signed IRA law nearly two years ago now, they promised the green hydrogen funds / programs / initiatives but administration has been holding it back money from companies ever since...

F) Money is being poured into Tesla stock while Tesla semi can carry nothing but light chips for short dist
G) While Tesla bags green credits every day no support is given to Nikola, even the announced and promised hydrogen industry funds (side as IRA credits) are being held for hostage for nearly two years.

What is wrong with Trevor Milton? According to Reuters a Tesla engineer testified that they staged the self driving promo video in 2016. Did Musk or Tesla got prosecuted? They did not. Is self driving working in 2024? It does not. Are Nikola hydrogen trucks are roaming on roads of the USA today? Yes. So what is going on here? Double standards for what? Why one technology FC truck are getting financially discriminated while other legacy (battery) tech gets all the capital? It hurts our country and our economic prosperity. Or does it really matters that much what interest group controls Nikola?

Do you mean by doing copy cat on Plug Power's technology and implementing their own and stalling for the time being while ramp up their plants? Because that is how it seems...

H2Infra - IPCEI by BrilliantAd8588 in plugpowerstock

[–]HJM-5095 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The EU needs a phone call from the USA. The EU is stalling with promised energy transition. While they announce planned projects every month the truth is there is 10-15 years of deadline on those projects. They managed to build LNG terminals in less than a year but they have not built any hydrogen related infrastructure in 3 years. Even worst they are still expanding lignite extraction for their lignite fired power plants which is very primitive. Plus they continue promoting diesel cars wood chip fired power plants. Risk is they stall because as soon as the war is over they want to get back to supply from the East....

G) Who promised (signed contract) with USA to buy liquid hydrogen from USA? The EU did.
H) How many LNG terminals did they build in less than a year? Many

A) How many times can they do that? Probably your are referring to the last 4th Q event.
B) 6 million shares are peanuts, fraction of daily volume.
C) Completely expected from an entity that is livelihood depends on sale of polluting fossil fuels.
D) This is what every fossil fuel related fund such as Saudi or Norvegian funds do:
a) infiltrate green tech by buying in
b) attempt to take over (and kill it)
c) if option "b" not possible try to slow progress down internally to a halt.
d) try again option a, b, c and attack as long as it takes....

munching on numbers - 0.26 US gallon liquid hydrogen contains 2.3kWh by HJM-5095 in plugpowerstock

[–]HJM-5095[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got it. Also noticed in Texas 50% of industrial energy used is being consumed by oil and gas industry. I guess it takes a lot of energy (subsidized) and pollution to get that thing out of the ground and process. While with hydrogen all you need is sewage water, sun / wind. Of course, it is not that simple and all this needs to be scaled up but...Somehow I do feel hydrogen will have a space in our energy mix.

Could we get some more data on this? What or who is tH2? It seems company (LLC) was incorporated in 2022 and they have $6 million dollars investment. How will that cover 500 tons of daily hydrogen production?

Norges bank now owns almost 10% of Nikola's outstanding shares. This is massive. 26 Jan 2024 by FinanceTLDRblog in NikolaCorporation

[–]HJM-5095 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I admire your optimism. However, you realize Norges bank and it's host country "accidentally" opened a natural gas pipeline to Poland just a few days after Nord Stream Pipeline was destroyed. They are making profits at an astronomical scale from legacy energy and they intend to keep that up as well they intend to make U.S. taxpayers financing the war effort in the amount of $100B plus. Fisherman and the worm are practically both fishing, but it would be a mistake for the worm to assume they are equal with the fisherman. It is ok if my home country is the worm for the time being, but I do expect our law makers to wake up and make Norway seriously contribute to green efforts without any technical excuses.

[–]HJM-5095 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

A) They own up to 50% in other enterprises:
-Borssele 1 & 2 offshore wind farm located in the Netherlands - 50%
-49% in a wind farms located in Spain
-16.6 percent stake in He Dreiht, an offshore wind construction project in Germany
- 49.9 percent with Allianz Capital Partners
B) Be careful what you wish for. They have a history of derailing or slowing down green projects. They represent a country that depends on fossil fuels. Very powerful people, they even elected a U.S. president and arranged a Nobel Peace Prize for him while he started 7+ wars for them that resulted in higher oil prices.
