Well don't be so quick, I heard that the extension of the Tangy windfarm would be to the benefit of a local trust which would include CAMPBELTOWN. Maybe others will know more about this than me?

Anyway, rather than planning for meeting our energy demands from other sourses, a more potent measure might be to identify what each of us, as individuals, do to reduce our personal energy demands? - Lets take the responsability for climate change as individuals rather than asking politicians. Goodness knows they are challanged enough!


"Goodness they are challenged enough" that is a matter of opinion Sir. One that I will not share or agree with- unless of course, it has nothing to do with their public paid employees duties. We pay them to take positions of Public responsibility, and as such they are accountable to Public scrutiny. The problem has nothing whatsoever to do with reducing personal energy needs, the reality of the matter is the opposite- we have to find ways to increase energy demand and need. as through this medium we will advance our technological environment and improve living conditions. You ask People to take responsibility for climate change and pull in their belts- What about the oil companies? These MultiNational band of pirates, rape and plunder, ultimately polluting our environment in their naked greed for profit to rich shareholders. That is where the problems lie, chiefly our falsely accredited reliance on carbon based fuell, driven by a capital form of production.

You would think multi national capitalism was new. Shame on thos oil companies for providing the materials your computer is made of and the petrol in your car. You must beat yourself with a switch after each use, do you?
