On the 1st of July "an talla" opened its doors for the first time, and community of Tiree gave a sigh of relief. We had been without a hall for 3 or 4 years. while we waited for the building of the new hall, the old one having been demolished to facilitate the whole process of obtaining the new one, especially any financial assistance.
We now have a beautiful,very up to date (state of the art)hall - the future looks bright! : ceilidhs, dances, concerts and meetings, you name it! An ailing community will be on the move again! The efforts of many are to be considered and appreciated.
And finally,and many are delighted, a wind turbine provides the electric power; granted not as formidible as those mentioned in the blogs, but completely effective - the second on the island.
But before closing, may I also mention the new mart;opened last year; so that between it and "an talla" our hopes have been raised considerably.
My thanks to Blog Blog for touching on this subject first.

Oban Times, 29/07/04 : " Beauty of Wind Farms " : "I think wind turbines are beautiful ... My heart lifts at the sight of beautiful windmills turning gracefully. I am a tourist ... ".
Tall slender with a big blade driven by the wind. They have really hit the headlines. Can they be taken lightly?
Wind farms are popping up all over the country while different protagonists dispute that they should be there in the first place. But whatever the rights and wrongs of wind power being in our presence it appears as if we are going to have to get used to it being there in spite of the numerous objections.
It appears that it is a matter of starting some where to address a definate requirement for an increased demand for electricity now and in the future. Yes, it would be nice if we could obtain this without the tall towers reaching for the clouds; and no doubt in the future we might do so. For the present we shall have to depend on what we've got.
Don't you think I have a point someone?

I suppose it would only be right that I should let all whom it may concern in Island blogging know that I'll be having a week, at least, off. On Saturday, I'll be leaving Tiree to commence the journey to the south of England to be with friends. My blogs on wind farms will therefore stop. Infact, I might give this suject a rest for a spell, at least,on returning. I am sure there are many other topics to interest the blogging fraternity.
On my travels, I look forward to seeing wind farms, and to have the opportunity, without doubt to decide on their impact on the countryside; as imigining this aspect is bound to be frought with error compared with reality.
Till we meet again, good luck to all you bloggers.

I have returned from the far south where I have enjoyed a first time visit.The weather was quite good in Devon,where I was, while the floods in nearby Cornwall were devestating.I visitated Cornwall one day to see the Eden Project:a massive up to date dome(s) covered botanical garden(s) situated in a huge disused clay quarry.
In my travels, in these parts, I hardly came across any wind farms except for what I saw at a distance which didn't give the appearance of marring the countryside.- I therefore feel that we could tolerate wind turbines to a certain extent at least.
I had one brief encounter,on my way down in the coach, with one small wind farm.These masts didn't seem to be excessively tall as per normal. In my estimation they did not give the appearance of being offensive to the outlook but gave a rather interisting aspect to it as a whole.

It has been announced recently that fuel costs are to increase. We will be paying more for our household electricity :
A 拢250 bill for electricity will go up by 拢17-50.
We are all wondering if this is justified.
At a time like this if there is any saving grace, the advent of renewable energy in the form of wind farms etc may well be the answer. After all the prime ingrident in the present day process for providing electrical power is the wind - free and without price. I believe wind turbines are less costly to produce now. In view of this with the inital cost saving factor such as this; the consumer should expect a better deal and stable charges, compared to those formerly detailed above.
Renewable energy from wind is indeed of immence importance as regards climate change. the boffins who are well clued up on these issues are well aware that process of change could prove in no time irreversible.
Governments are also concerned and support wind power as the hopeful future possibility.
Might our governments, who had their own way with North Sea oil have genuine concern about their electorate when wind power is being duly priced.
