The Kintyre Forum

Has there ever been a micro-generation/renewables expo in the town? Perhaps hire the Vic for a Saturday in February, get representatives from companies who manufacture & sell equipment - solar panels, ground heat pumps, domestic wind-turbines, water wheels etc. - together with one or two from A&B planning dept. - together with government bodies who know about the grants/funding available to install these in your house - Energy Saving Trust etc. A chance just to find out what its all about, and whats available......

I think that's a brilliant idea - if you are thinking of organising it and need any help let me know. In my experience it's very hard to fine out what is worth doing and what is not and there are numerous sources of information, most of which are not co-ordinated. It would be very useful to get everything together under one roof and get them all to come along here with the Council and other possible sources of funding.
