dominant fuel

[hammers4spanner]

just wondering where you guys are looking to go into next few years

which fuel do you think will be king

gas ?

ground source?

biomass?

ashp?

solar?

where is the biggest earner gonna come from?

 

[Howsie]

A combination of all of the above. Electricity should be but the infrastructure doesn't suit it. DC rules.

 

[snowhead]

You missed out C.H.P

It'll be a different solution for different circumstances.
No single source will be king.

 

[Ray Stafford]

Gas will still be completely dominant in 10 years time. There will be money to be made in all of the technologies, but the volume will still be gas.

 

[lame plumber]

still carrying on with gas and oil myself, and specialising iN ranges for the rich

Off peak electric boilers. Would love to get into gas but no one round here to help me train!

 

[erpkid]

Still got my flag pinned to cold fusion :smile: would love to run a training course on that one

 

[hammers4spanner]

cold fusion ??

new one to me

The holy grail of nuclear physicists. Limitless, dirt cheap, clean, nuclear power from fusion. (Rather than the dangerous, dirty and sometimes explosive fission)

Renewables and cold fusion is pish. I have designed and built a perpetual motion atomic oscillator which works on the strong nuclear energy and generates 5mw/kg a transportation system of room temp superconductors made from refuse, sold it to EDF last week they along with Esso promised to bring it into use to drive down energy costs significantly........

do we have to be pas2030 as i want to be on this scheme?

Cold fusion may or may not be pish. Neither my physics nor my maths are up to even joining the debate.

Renewables aren't pish, but I do think that they are wildly overhyped in both the mainstream and the trade press.

No it's strictly for multi nationals and people who need to hide technology to make their products remain profitable. Interesting how GM motors own a lot of alternative energy patents along with Mitsubishi and Esso!! I worked on fuel cells about decade ago lots of big money trying to discover ideas, patent them and lock them away!

Money was awful £12k pa

In twelve years I have never had an enquiry for any form of renewable work.

had a few this year but nothing to make me want to defer away from the money sector that is gas

Gas is king, and will be for a while yet.
