Saving energy – Scotsman letters

Published by SAS Volunteer on

 
Nicola Sturgeon and her colleagues took to the airwaves this weekend to suggest an independent Scotland would have a nationalised energy industry, seemingly forgetting that in October 2017 she said that “by the end of this Parliament in 2021 we will set up a publicly owned, not for profit energy company”. Needless to say, it never happened and never would have. It’s also a bit ironic that while Germany is opening up 19 mothballed coal-fired power stations, Ms Sturgeon was one of the VIPs at the demolition of Longannet last year.
Scotland’s energy policy is well behind the curve – but at least the SNP can supply plenty of hot air.
