Yes Leah, 'No' voters and several daeless SNP elected majorities have a lot to answer for. They have given away Scotland's renewable energy industry which will soon be worth £100 billion+ a year, every year. They have ensured Scots suffer from the highest energy prices in western Europe, four times higher than in Norway. And they have consigned Scotland to being commercially un-competitive, an industrial backwater when access to our own cheap energy should have boosted our economy. 'No' voters and a deceitfu SNP have facilitated the colonial plunder and poverty of Scotland.

You can see here, it is still part owned by a US company. Investment seems to be concentrated in England mostly in midlands and south.

Thanks Leah. When it comes to energy, Scotland's vast resources being thieved from right underneath the noses of the people and government (administration) I cringe, cower, hands over eyes, and my BP goes sky high. It's enough to make you weep.

I checked out the 'national grid' in the 'UK' a few years ago the EngGov had it being run bya US company, investment in infrastructure especially with regard to renewables capacity, was only taking place in England. The deliberate lack of investment in infrastructure in Scotland is just criminal, but I guess they have waited until they can somehow justify some money being spent in order to take more of Scotalnd's energy to England. What an absolute CON, and a scam, Scotland is so scammed but i repeat myself too much.

Have a good day enjoy the sunshine, counter to the EngMet office it's not all gloomy today in Edinburgh anyway. Christ they even dictate our weather forecasts!
