How would you generate electricity, if you lived there, full time?
If I didn't have a stream for hydro power, obviously I'd have a
wood-burning steam engine driving a generator.
And where does thewood come from?

Did you not see "Lord of the Rings" or "Top if the Lake"? If there's one
resource New Zealand has, it's trees.

New Zealand? It's on Mull!

Yebbut Matty is in NZ.

Yebbut "there" refers the the lighthouse keepers cottage on Mull.

And when Matty says he'd have a wood fired steam engine he's thinking in
terms of the resources available to him. As he made clear later with his
bemusement that Mull has no trees to speak of.
