    What’s still holding back the EV revolution?(06/03/2023)

    In his 2022 Autumn Statement, Chancellor Jeremy Hunt announced that EV owners will have to pay road tax from 2025. Critics say the move will further hinder consumers from purchasing an EV sooner than they need to. But, even as EV adoption continues to climb, what are the other reasons holding people back from making the switch?

    Are floating wind turbines the answer to renewable power?(20/01/2023)

    Back in 2019, then-Prime Minister Boris Johnson promised 40GW of UK offshore wind power by 2030. In early 2022, the Government raised that target to 50GW, with an additional 5GW from floating wind turbines. But are floating wind farms the solution to existing offshore power problems? Here, Simone Bruckner, Managing Director of Cressall Resistors, explores the technology behind floating wind farms.
