It was an honour and a pleasure to be interviewed by Radio Wester Ross and it was great to share some of the impact of this week’s Earth Mind Geotour that I have loved working on with @NWHGeopark and #RuthAllen
If you enjoyed our recent book event at @UllapoolB with @geotherapist, @johnmac201 they both recorded a Community Focus interview with @RadioWesterRoss which was broadcast today. These are also both available online here 👇👇: radiowesterross.scot/our-art… radiowesterross.scot/our-art…

We will continue to need huge amounts of oil and gas for years. It’s a delusion to believe otherwise! Why import it when we have our own geological reserves? We need to protect UK oil & gas industry and stop and reverse its decline. 🤔
“It adds over £100bn to the UK economy… we should prioritise homegrown production, our own jobs, and value in our economy. That means producing oil & gas from the North Sea responsibly, alongside world-class renewables.” – David Whitehouse on @BBCNews 🎥 Watch: #EnergySecurity #NetZero #NorthSea #OEU
