"Gas Armageddon": Energy/electricity prices in EU/UK (and how to deal with them)
Marco:
If Kawasaki was just a couple years further along with their hydrogen turbines, they could have had a lot of sales now. Suddenly 25% round trip efficiency and low utilisation of electrolyzers doesn't look so economically unfeasible any more.
The current green hydrogen producers will probably have paid off their investments after this year.
BravoV:
The so called "Operation Thermostat" >:D is happening in US, just curious if similar case will happen also in EU countries especially in winter ?
As fact that many EU leaders already warned few days ago to their citizens about energy crisis to come.

Pop the thermostat off the bracket and jumper a couple of wires together will solve that, at least on an individual level.
nctnico:
Just got a letter with new electricity tariffs... another 50% on top which makes the price almost double of what I paid last year. :'( I'm starting to feel more and more sorry I didn't manage to buy the (used) solar panels I had an eye on.
SiliconWizard:
I dunno how effective solar panels would be where you live, but yeah. I kind of suspect that solar panel prices may go through the roof due to a sudden increase in demand and suppliers taking advantage of it.
