Part ownership of a Ripple Wind Turbine, fancy it?

[Joeboy]

Yeah it’s quite lively here but that’s typical weather and I think it is here just because I’m only half way through ballasting my latest panel mount so it’s a bit flexible in the 50 to 60 mph gusts oh well it calms down at 2 am so not too long - just watching the telegraph pole twitching in the wind too

Moxi

Was thinking about u t'other day Moxi. A bonny house we passed on a walk had some of that smashing thin (4 inch?) Gabion fencing. Steel structural vertical posts to strengthen the run of fence. Only seen it here in Germany but very effective. I'll dig out a photo I took.

I take it this means they did not sell enough shares for the project to go ahead and required outside investment?

Ergo timescales for completion will have slipped as well

Hmmm , bit of a sour taste -wouldn't let me invest more without proof of consumption. I guess the "found" investor uses a lot of electricity ........ one rule for one and all that............

Ripple are shit. Oh sorry, did I say that out loud? Quasi Disneyland, part time, half arsed "HI, we're all SUCH good friends here" type dicks.with a nice right wing control ethos when it doesn't go Ken&Barbies way.
Wanks.

I'd have literally done a million with them but they're rear view mirror now.

The thing is, if you play with other people's money, you better be bang on and pro about it and they're not.

Shell shit all over them and they're meant to be the bad competition(let's face it they are), Ripple are more like a wet fart in a blanket. Maybe they'll never be anything other than part time Butlins types, sad.

Open for debate though.

P.S. How are the books with Ripple doing, have they done them yet? Where's the expenses going? How many Billy & Johnny staff (we're all just SO loving our jobs. Sorry, a turbine, what's that?)" are we supporting? Who's actually cracking the whip there?

I've done 20G on them as a trial in the hope that they'd be marvelous. They've not, they've been shit, late, dissembled, amateur.

I've also done 700G on Shell knowing they'll keep the lights on for my family when I'm dead. See the difference, not a single bobbly hat in sight.

Co-ops don't work for the people that can afford to invest because of the tax system, even if Ripple were a perfect company it wouldn't make sense except as a charity. And it's all downhill from there.

Why should there be a difference? Honest question. How is the tax system.getting in the way of a company hitting stated goals? Interested.

It's a moot point to me as I had an epiphany on the road to Cologne and literally stopped my van at the side of the road, made tea and threw hundreds of thousands across the ether while the water warmed. I popped out the other side much happier and more streamlined.

Ripple are a wind up toy off to the side.

I did it all with this view. Apt I thought.

Co-investors don't need any proof of consumption but I believe they need to stump up a minimum of £100k+ and are non Coop shareholders in the SPV (special purpose vehicle) which is the financial entity which owns the asset. By being non Coop members they side step the 120% energy use rule which the FCA has agreed with Ripple Energy for their type of Coop structure.

There is info on co-investors in the share offer doc of Whitelaw Brae, section 9.

"they side step the 120% energy use rule which the FCA has agreed with Ripple Energy for their type of Coop structure"

and AIUI the 120% limit is necessary for the favourable tax treatment of 'our' ownership.
