Bute Energy And Others, A Round-up

Jac — Wed, 01 Oct 2025 18:00:16 +0000

I haven’t devoted a full piece to Bute Energy and the rest since August last year. Which is somewhat remiss, seeing as the plans are ongoing and causing great concern to communities across the land. That said, maybe this offering is directed more at the general reader than those who follow Bute’s activities closely, or …

Parabola Bute Energy, Scottish Echoes

Jac — Mon, 05 Aug 2024 08:30:25 +0000

Corruption Is Such An Ugly Word . . . But I Can’t Think Of Anything Else To Call It!

Jac — Mon, 06 Dec 2021 11:00:57 +0000

My intention was to start winding down this blog, spend more time with my wife, grand-children, books, Malbec . . . but things keep cropping up.
