Joking apart, I suppose any focused use of RE is good.

(Disclaimer - haven’t read in detail to understand the real impact. )

Barrs have a few southern (milton keynes) massive production facilities too, & their range of product is bigger than many would first imagine beyond Bru n' Tizer (not being sniffy) ..it's good to know they are streamlining an energy heavy industry, wonder how much is based on shareholder expectations (type thing) versus backpedalling on damage done for the sake of humanity & no customers if we don't?

That original recipe irn bru took me back to the early 90's watching a scottish workmate use it as a hangover recovery fluid.

This is where ripple ought be targeting to mop up left over small investor percentages, large companies committing to a percentage of change per annum / project which could be sold in sizeable slots..

Barrs, I would raise a glass of D&B if I had any left :cry:

Wee tiny spiky fellas! Been trailcamming, I am agog that the grizzly bear hibernates as do hedgehogs. What's going on there? :D

Although no grizzlys were seen outside of my mind. :lol:

We’d love little hogs, but we have Badgers. I understand the two don’t mix - ie, Badgers no Hogs.

We’ve had some interesting experiences with Badgers, one of the less :shock: here.

Thats exactly what they are doing, how do you think the Coop is going to pay for the large loan for Kirk Hill. It was in April's KH Coop mtg minutes that they had received offers for the long term Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) to fund the borrowing.

What large companies don't want to do is actually own the wind farm asset, they just want the leccy from it without taking an equity risk and its becoming attractive for them to stick 2 fingers up at the traditional business leccy supply companies.

PS - The quoted South Kyle windfarm is only about 10 miles east of Kirk Hill on higher ground.

I mean proactively advertise set cost slots, rather than the not very advertised follow up filling by a pretty much unknown entity who scooped up the shortfall, ..who it is & what brands it covers, i'm none the wiser to this day.

An incentive for small co-operative members (of which some doubtless work for big names) to badger (with a ripple £ introductory thank you incentive scheme) ..our accountants were busy looking at their portfolios as well as the company in general, so, on the days I wasn't flicking a door open with my foot a chat with the accountants was always on the cards as to kit cost, does dept a really need this do you think, etc, they would have been open (as would marketing) to options on ripple from all angles.

If big names are coming on board with ripple that is an advertising & PR gem for both sides, a "powered by ripple" logo on a brand website, a commitment to keep on clocking up more, ..good marketing vehicle, no harder than getting fair trade product options on our free vend coffee machines & involving folk in the snack choices, employees are increasingly ones to nudge a firm, because they already have a foot in the door & talk the same language.

Under utilised & a feel good factor of enabling change.

Tesla referrals are back I see, didn't do them any harm 8-)

Forest trailblazing powder, is where you have to be aware in Canada, you never know if a immature bear has curled up & just got covered over in the lee of a tree cluster rather than scrape a proper winter hole.. a few are known to wake this way, & I thought my encounter with a cougar at dusk on the mountain was a brown pants inducer, clipped in & falling into a bear pit ..another level!
