The Cost of Going Green in Scotland

I was given a complimentary Scotsman on the sleeper, although I might have preferred a Scotswoman.

The headline of Going Green will push Scots fuel bills up £100 caught my eye.

The reason is that Alex Salmond wants to go to 100% of renewables by 2025.  It may be a laudable aim, but to do it with just wind, wave and tidal is not in my view a good idea, as there is just so much back-up to provide.  Especially, as nuclear will not be used for much longer in Scotland.

Let’s hope when the policy all goes pear-shaped that we don’t have to bail them out!
