The pains of plugging budget holes with renewables windfall – BBC

First Minister John Swinney says he hopes to avoid the £460m raid on a long-term investment fund announced by Finance Secretary Shona Robison to balance the books this year.

He said so as he officially opened the onshore maintenance base in Buckie for one of Scotland’s biggest offshore windfarms – Moray West.
