It was a consultation that lasted for several weeks, if not months, was widely reported in the news and is, as with all consultations, published on the SG website (https://consult.scotland.gov.uk/) . People have little excuse for not knowing about this kind of stuff.

As mentioned by the Dons fan earlier in the thread one of the next big things will be developing some kind of electricity storage technique that allows excess power generated by wind turbines to be captured and held in reserve for times when they aren't generating as much power. I think Statoil are looking at this. Will be interesting to see how this area develops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well at least Statoil won't be blocked in their research by their government, and have plenty of money because of their oil fund. Could have been us.....

I think Elon Musk is investing a lot into research for this too, I may be wrong but I seem to remember a prototype plant in Nevada? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The SG website is not one of my bookmarks I'm afraid. Far too much flim flam! But surely something of this importance should surely have had a national drive in all media, not only the internet, I'm talking TV, newspapers and letterdrops.

If you were interested enough to make anything more than a fatuous point, I'm sure you could have taken the opportunity to contribute. As it is, i fear you're digging a hole for yourself.

glassnahalf Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Merely saying what I've stated before. I had no idea that the "SG" had a webpage about this. I don't go searching for internet pages about consultations etc unless I've been advised about them by aforesaid gvmt, hence my post... on a football-oriented forum!

glassnahalf Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 I didn't receive any such mailing, but do suppose there was a mention to the web address buried in a story about it, but I can't remember seeing any adverts in the press. I'll give you TV though as I very rarely watch it, so it must have been there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RiG Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Just now, glassnahalf said: as I said, not internet, printed newspapers The vast majority of those articles will have appeared in the printed editions as well. Things like letter drops, whilst a good idea on paper, would become prohibitively expensive given the number of consultations which take place every year. Unless you have been living under a rock *chuckle* for the last year and a bit there is no way you couldn't have known about this topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
