What does the future hold for energy generation in Scotland? In recent
weeks, we have seen differing political agendas of the Scottish and UK
governments as to how electricity supplies of the future will be generated. !
Among the questions are: how do you balance society’s desire to keep
electricity prices down and the electricity supply secure with the need to
replace existing fossil fuel-powered generation plants coming to the end of
their life? Or with the climate change agenda making the use of fossil
fuels no longer politically acceptable even if the human race were not
exploiting these at an unsustainable rate? Or with the drive towards
reducing harmful emissions?
