And it also shows the generation potential to come ! :mrgreen:

You can find it from this link, I just did a screenshot and cropped it a little.

The manager at Tesla Aberdeen phoned this morning to say sorry for no V2G/H/L which was nice but not needed. Had a chat about RE and I switched him on to Ripple. Hopefully one more through the door for WT2! :)

He really liked the idea, hopefully he will pass it along to clients.

In addition as its oil company dividend season (boo hiss) and I continue to divest my holdings I am in a position where both BP & Shell are paying for my investment in Wind Turbine 2. That is hugely satisfying if morally slightly sketchy. :twisted:

Tesla publicly supporting ripple would be spot on! (you know the power of an elon related tweet, fan boys or otherwise)

Or Warren Buffet ..y'get the idea. :mrgreen:
