I believe in three key things – supporting Scottish jobs, strengthening our country’s energy security and building the renewables industry that we are going to need in the future.
Instead, I think we should be increasing use of our own domestic resources right here in the North Sea.
Frankly, I think that’s one of our duties to our northern European allies.
The reality though is that Energy-rich Scotland is paying the price of repeated Westminster failure. With the fresh start of independence we will bring down people’s bills.
