COP targets
The Opinion article of December 30 by Stewart McDonald, MSP, indicates yet another in a long line of politicians who refuse to address the cost of implementing COP26 targets and the political implications of such policies.
The claim by the renewable sector that wind projects have doubled in cost led to Westminster taking such problems in an urgent manner by doubling the offshore wind strike price to £73 per MWhour which will have severe implications on household energy costs.
In addition, a Green Revolution will now come with a debt of £300 billion, the SNP plan to increase the capacity of wind output to 60GW means further capital costs of £270 billion whilst the uncosted hydrogen-fuelled back-up plan will result in increased debt of around £360 billion based on the experience of ferry contracts.
Why do SNP/Green Alliance politicians fail to provide the price of their net zero plans, especially when the UK per capita CO2 emissions are now below 1859 figures, ie we have already improved on the levels set almost 200 years ago!
