Comment on Wind Turbine proposal for West Tarbert by Kavan Hayward

Thanks for the great article. It seems that people are finally starting to get it and are doing what needs to be done to lower their carbon footprint. Now if they would just lower the price of things like LED light bulbs and give more insenstives to purchasing and installing wind turbines or solar panels. Then maybe everyone would get involved.

Comment on Home Energy Packs – energy conservation by Christine Mackenzie

Many thanks for your quick response.

Have set up the Energy Monitor and have already found it useful as it makes you more aware of your energy usage when you see it in on the digital display. There was a lot of turning off of electrical items that were on standby mode over the weekend. The most interesting usage spike that we have noted so far was when we were taking items out of the freezer and had the door open for a while. When we closed the door the usage shot up as the freezer tried to reach the set temperature. Would never have thought of the energy that was being used up on carrying out this task before now.

We are waiting for the final batch of Home Energy Packs to be made up. We’ve covered 99% of North Harris – but you’ve highlighted that 1%! I’ve dropped in one of the last couple we had – hopefully you’ll find it useful.

Unfortunately 14 Scott Road Tarbert did not receive this pack – is it still possible to obtain one?

Geoff, thanks for yor comments. The guy who built the waterwheel is still fit and well and we will keep in touch with him if we develop the scheme. I think he’d be very pleased to see a turbine up an running in his village.

Sadly, biodiesel does not reduce your carbon footprint one little bit. It just saves stuff going to landfill, and reduces your fuel costs. If you factor in the cost of equipment as well as consumables, you will be lucky to have saved enough to purchase the equipment in ten years.
