Renewable energy GLASGOW, Scotland, April 24, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- In a letter addressed to the Secretary for Energy and Net Zero, Mairi McAllan, Prof. Pearson and 24 other signatories – representing various parts of the supply chain – underlined the Bill's central role in combating climate change and improving energy efficiency in homes.
Key Points:
- The Scottish Government's recent announcement that the 2030 climate target will be scrapped is a blow to the country's efforts towards a greener future.
- The letter also called for the UK Government to advance electricity price reform, making clean heat the more cost-effective solution.
- Heat offtake legislation without this will fail to see clean heat delivered and the employment opportunities that underpin a Just Transition will simply not arise."

Tourism GLASGOW, Scotland, March 18, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Stephen Forbes Pearson was the first child of Stephen H Pearson, an engineer from Northumberland, and Gladys Stewart, from Glasgow. Forbes was born in Pollokshields, Glasgow, on 25 June 1931 and attended school at Paisley Grammar and then Kelvinside Academy. He was a precocious child who loved learning and absorbed facts easily, particularly about the natural sciences. In infant school, he was reprimanded for arguing with a teacher who had told the class that the earth was a sphere. "No, it's an oblate spheroid" he said. Despite a bout of pleurisy as a teenager that required a lengthy recuperation, he enjoyed playing rugby as a front row forward, where he reckoned his short legs and stocky body gave him a particular mechanical advantage.
Key Points:
- Forbes was born in Pollokshields, Glasgow, on 25 June 1931 and attended school at Paisley Grammar and then Kelvinside Academy.
- He spent undergraduate summer vacations working in the Rolls Royce factory at Hillington and the Tecumseh compressor factory in Michigan.
- They also shared a love of language and a rather coarse sense of humour that sometimes took others by surprise.
- As Chief Engineer for Sterne his work was divided between design of products, such as industrial compressors and heat exchangers, and design of industrial refrigeration systems.
