#Women were reportedly banned from #Iona in the 6th century by #StColumba who believed 'where there is a woman there is mischief'. Today women are leading the isle's efforts to thrive for hundreds more years #InternationalWomensDay The Iona Community Iona Village Hall #belongtoiona Iona Renewables

Keep missing #argyllenergyhour… the twit behind the tweets has Gàidhlig class at the same time! Great chat to catch up with retrospectively, though.

Little birds told us there may be a wee spot on our Renewables project on An Là on BBC Alba tonight… it’s on at 16.00 today because of the football. Look out for it!

High costs of delivering infrastructure/services on islands are a particular challenge for many funders; our location and surroundings make any project ‘ambitious’ but with fewer direct beneficiaries. Cost:Benefit *has* to be measured differently on islands!

"Avoiding climate breakdown will require cathedral thinking. We must lay the foundation while we may not know exactly how to build the ceiling.” The full speech given to MPs at the Houses of Parliament by Greta Thunberg. Interesting reading. theguardian.com/environment/20…

It doesn’t SPECIFICALLY say support small, community led, renewable heat initiatives… but we feel it’s in the subtext. ethicalconsumer.org/60-actions-hel…

We had Alex Shlicke from Scene present at our GeoAtlantic meeting last week to tell our partners about the project on the Isle of Iona. Iona Renewables have done an excellent job getting this far in the project and we’re excited to watch it develop on the ground.

"14% of UK greenhouse gases come from our homes, a similar level to emissions from cars.” One of many reasons we’re working hard to de-carbonise the heat supply here on Iona. bbc.co.uk/news/business-…

We've looked at tidal energy here and at the time the technology wasn't suited to the Sound. Great to see it being used elsewhere... and maybe someday we could too. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-…

An affirming piece about our planned heat network in @thetimesscot today. The network had been confirmed as the 'optimal solution' by Scottish Government, was fully funded and set to be delivered when COVID hit and put everything on hold. But we're not giving up. thetimes.co.uk/article/f78e3c…
