Scotland’s Renewables Power Us Ahead
The windy weather of the last month, April 2017 have proven a boon to the good folk providing energy via wind - the ultimate renewable power sources. In April wind power alone was sufficient to give energy enough to power 95 per cent of Scotland’s domestic electricity needs. This extraordinary feat was a huge 20 per cent more than the same period last year, what with more turbines coming on stream and the favourable weather, although this definitely depends on how you look at it. As I look out of the wind in the far distance I can see some of these bad boy wind turbines and they are none too pretty, but they don’t make any of the kids or grandkids cough and I suppose we can all live with a few eyesores. Although I did watch a BBC Scotland film about an Asperger’s syndrome young man who was followed through his driving test and his first solo driving trip to see his favourite thing, wind turbines.
The Future Is with Us
This follows on the day earlier in the year when all forms of non carbon burning power generation meant that for the first time no electricity was needed to be generated from fossil fuel and no damage to the atmosphere from the production of carbon dioxide. The double whammy was also that with oil and gas priced in dollars the exchequer saved a few bob too.
Lower your Carbon Footprint
And if you want to save a few bob in an environmentally sound way by leaving the car in the garage and bus in the bus station, then shop for a few choice bargains on the improved James Pirie website. We work hard to keep it fresh and chock full of fine product at keen prices and suggest that this week you take a look at the Flower of Scotland the Thistle and the lovely designs that we have on it for you. All of them seem to be on offer too. Can’t go wrong can you?
