A GROUP of academics whose views on green energy underpinned a central plank of the Better Together campaign has published a shock U-turn report arguing that independence now offers the best way to meet Scotland’s renewables targets.
In February Dr David Toke of Birmingham University, now Aberdeen, and a team from three other universities in England and Wales accused the Scottish Govermnent of letting Scottish emotions overcome hard-headed financial calculations. Their new report finds the UK Government’s nuclear deal and cuts to green subsidies have reversed the situation.
It has drawn a furious response from Better Together supporters, with Labour energy shadow Tom Greatrex accusing the team of being “highly misleading” and “twisting the facts”.
