SNP ministers have been urged to rethink their opposition to nuclear power and “exploit its potential” amid fears highly-skilled energy jobs are leaving Scotland for the rest of the UK.
The renewed fears have ramped up after Petroineos confirmed Scotland’s only oil refinery, at Grangemouth, will close next year, with the loss of 400 direct jobs and impacting almost 3,000 jobs in total.
SNP ministers have been warned by trade unions “the jobs promised through the just transition have not materialised”, amid concerns the Scottish Government’s tunnel vision on wind power is shutting the door on wider job opportunities in the energy sector. https://www.scotsman.com/news/politics/snp-nuclear-power-grangemouth-jobs-4782098?fbclid=IwY2xjawFSNNVleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHU95uriaSC6aNwm_nY_KL3MhXJ7ViGDgXz0eR9F7n4OUYTI47sVehoT_2w_aem_p8McIaj4f6-zcOkcc-oiGg
