Kristopher Leask: “What is left must not disappear into another short-term fix. It should be invested in Scotland’s future.”

Scotland has an enormous renewable energy potential, but too often our communities are seeing the disruption without sharing in the rewards.

People across Scotland are seeing their energy bills rise year after year, while our energy supply chain is stuck in limbo.

Labour encouraged people to expect 1000 new jobs, but ministers are now talking about only 300 direct employees, whilst households are still waiting for the lower energy bills they were promised.

Scotland has enormous energy wealth, but for decades the profits and economic benefits have flowed elsewhere.
