Could we continue in hope, though???

I return to blogging after a spell out of the habit. My contribute access provider failed, And as at the same time, my e- mail system proved to be out of order, difficulty prevailed. However, in good time, the problem cleared without any further effort from me.
Christmas is almost upon us again; then the New Year will be issued in. At this time of the year many will cast their thoughts back in an attempt to guage the events of past days. It would be interisting to know what all those who look back think. As for myself I feel that we have experienced a few years not congenial to a spirit of wellbeing: terrorisim, wars, starvation. Yes, a world in turmoil.
Today, my thoughts have been directed to the matter of Climate Change, which seems not to be any less controversial as the immense dispute goes on here and world wide. When Climate Change got into the headlines I'm not sure, but a definate lack of understanding seems to prevail. One wonders if a "couldn't care less"attitude has crept in.
It is strange that Wind Farms hold a dominant part in the renewable energy set up. Wave Power, Solar Power etc, don't still seem to have been developed sufficently to make the same impact. Wind turbines are still being erected in substantial numbers in spite of the cries of "wolf".
Well, I started my blog on a rather pessimistic note and to be this way inclined as regards Global Warming and the state of our planet,any future hope of a plesant situation here does not any longer inspire me.

Yours is a rather cryptic comment Donald. Elaboration? # Did you - perhaps jokingly- mention the potential of solar power in Tiree, I.W.? Sadly enough, wars/pestilence/starvation - nothing new, though it all does sound rather prevalent these days. If I were you, I.W., I would not let the troubles of the world interfere with the swallow of a generous dram and the digestion of the fruit cake.

There's a valid point in there IW. I am, as people have probably noticed, rather in favour of renewable energy resources, but I am conscious of the limitations of wind by itself. Tidal and wave power from the sea and small scale hydro inland seem to me to have been neglected by a lot of commentators. I am firmly of the opinion that diversity in this field' as in so many others, is a good thing.
