Costly resolution
Will Kate Forbes MSP be making a New Year resolution to inform voters of the SNP plan to repay the four-fold increase of £130 billion on the debt to decarbonise Scottish homes?
If repaid over 20 years, that is an annual capital debt repayment of £6.5bn or a yearly tax increase of around £2,600 for every Scottish taxpayer.
Should the four-fold increase outlined by the Just Transition Committee also apply to the installation of the 45GW of additional wind power planned by the SNP, then that is a further £540bn of debt that must be repaid!
