18.05.2017 – Pint of Science talk a sell-out

Ascog Farm’s renewables successes (solar) and failures (wind) were one of the subjects at a sell-out night in Portsmouth on 17/05/2017 as part of the international Pint of Science festival.

Speaking at the event, Adrian Tear, of Ascog Farm explained some of the trials and tribulations involved in trying to develop renewable energy on the family farm.

Slides from Adrian’s presentation are available online and below:

The event was well-attended and some interesting questions were posed. Hopefully everyone enjoyed the evening and learnt something of the difficulties of trying to move these sorts of renewables projects forwards!

Next stop, back to Bute to finish off (extensive) renovations to the farmhouse…
