the sale of Scotland’s renewable energy to private corporations is a serious impediment to independence.
the SNP leadership have two options. One is to cling to the status quo for cover, the other is to build an audacious and visionary independence programme and a plan of action to deliver it.
They are, it appears, already committed to the former. Along with the usual window dressing, of course. In doing so, they are set to fatally undermine the argument for independence.
Scottish wind power could have propelled the argument forwards, by painting a picture of a future based on clean, green and publicly owned energy made possible by the powers of independence.
Tragically, this has been passed up in favour of a quick buck, and a display of subservience to big business.
