Us Scots have a reputation for frugality, which I won’t deny. Maybe it’s that, more than other issues, in me that makes me a fan of renewable energy. Here in Scotland we’re already producing more green electricity than we consume, with the same again in planning or construction, in our case mostly from onshore and offshore wind. While this energy isn’t “free”, (turbines aren’t cheap) the energy source is and always will be. It’s also safe and we don’t have to ask anyone to supply it to us, or risk getting it turned off or price increases. Of course getting the energy to us, whether for domestic heating or for transport, will be in the hands of private companies, who will of course extract from us as much as they can get, but that’s a lot more manageable and safe than relying on external forces.
Surely a technology crusade toward the goal of free source energy makes sense?
