    Thank you, appreciate you showing specifically what your issue is. I agree the timeline for the battery costs hasn’t worked out exactly because of some anomalies over the last year or two but the trend is sharply down again. So it seems like we are on track to achieve a cost of around $90 by 2025 now rather than 2024 at least according to Goldman Sachs.

    If your issue is with the exact timeline, I say that’s fair enough, but being off by a year with battery costs isn’t too bad I don’t think. Of course as with all forecasting we’ll have to see exactly how it pans out in reality but it’s a pretty big risk if you want to start building a nuclear reactor now, factoring in construction time plus payback period.
