Trump Administration Will Pay Nearly $1 Billion to Block 2 Offshore Wind Farms – The USA Potato

Landmark #offshorewind farms come online in the #US
#RevolutionWind and #VineyardWind are two of several #windfarm projects that have come under fire from the Trump administration, putting pause on leases for them and three other wind farm projects being built off #EastCoast, citing national security concerns. Before then, wind energy advocates anticipated that some 5.8GW worth of new offshore wind energy would be constructed between 2025 and 2029.

Community Discussion on themes from Fires and Fascism: and how people are fighting back to create change.

The film shows communities responding to the threats of fires, big business, organised crime, and the far right, igniting hope and becoming more resilient.

Watch the film online via the link https://www.zeffy.com/en-GB/donation-form/watch-fires-and-fascism (if you can) before coming to the Library on Saturday to discuss local and global issues and anything you feel resonates from the film. If you can’t watch the film first then please come along anyway - the discussion is fuelled by local perspectives.

We know that fuel and community energy are on people’s minds especially in Scotland. The question of who benefits reveals why community power in every sense is most important.

What else is happening on Skye? The film shows action from #protest to #permaculture. What projects are going on in #Portree and what else is there space or need for?
