Kristopher Leask: “Scotland has an enormous renewable energy potential, but too often our communities are seeing the disruption without…”

Opening new plants across Scotland would be a huge waste of time and money. It would swallow billions of pounds and take decades to deliver, while doing nothing to tackle energy bills or the climate crisis.

Labour’s obsession with forcing a new generation of nuclear power on Scotland rides roughshod over devolution and ignores the will of the Scottish Parliament,

Instead of pouring billions into nuclear plants that would take decades to build, Labour should be backing the practical climate action Scotland needs now: warmer homes, better flood defences, stronger public transport, nature restoration…

Our priority should be creating clean, green, secure jobs that support nuclear workers into new industries while revitalising communities across Scotland.
