Scotland generates huge amounts of clean, renewable electricity – but bills here are among the highest in Europe.
Successive UK governments – Tory and Labour alike – have refused to reform this failed system. Instead of cutting bills, Westminster protects energy giants while families struggle. And as prices rise again, the UK political debate continues to peddle the false idea that renewables are driving up costs – when in reality they are the cheapest energy source we have.
The truth is simple: Scotland has the energy, but Westminster holds the power.
Independence changes that. With independence, Scotland can design an energy system that reflects our resources and our needs – keeping bills down, tackling fuel poverty, and making sure Scotland’s energy wealth works for the people of Scotland, not for Westminster’s Treasury.
The longer we stay in the UK, the longer we pay the price for Westminster’s failure. Independence is the only way to bring Scotland’s energy home – and bring our bills down.
