Initial

In recent years, I go to Scotland for the summer holiday.

In Helmsdale, there is a place called Timespan which ran an exhibition https://timespan.org.uk/programme/exhibitions/beatrice-transition-under-petrocapitalism/ in https://timespan.org.uk/art-programme/coastal-commons-beyond-north-sea-extractivism/

Which was quite informative - the establishment gets funding from the oil industry and was quite critical of fossil fuels. Beatrice itself is visible from the Caithness coast and is an oilfield being transformed into a windfarm, one of many in the area both on and offshore.

In amongst the literature I bought were some essays by Jeff Diamanti who wrote in a very inaccessible way, so obviously i bought his book.

That starts me on a new journey…
