Light relief

George Inglis (Letters, 1 April) is definitely on to something big; a means to increase our 
reserves of renewable energy by harvesting moonlight has gone completely untapped. How could this have happened?

It was a most enjoyable piece, but I must admit that the alarm bells started ringing when he suggested subsidies for companies who would develop the technology for chasing moonbeams.

This would not be the first ­“lunatic” notion entertained by our leaders and I can only pray that if the powers at Holyrood read Mr Inglis’s letter they are fully aware of the significance of the publication date.
