This is yet more proof that the only way to bring Scotland in line with our European neighbours is to put Scotland's energy in Scotland's hands with the full powers of independence.

While European countries are forging a path ahead creating skilled jobs in the industries of the future, Scotland is still waiting for the UK government to get this key project off the ground.
Scotland produces more energy than it uses – we simply do not need nuclear, and the UK government should focus on sorting out the UK's energy market, so the Scottish people can benefit from Scotland's immense energy wealth.
The contrast could not be clearer – across Europe, carbon capture is becoming a reality, but here it remains stuck in a permanent pattern of delay and betrayal.
It is hard not to believe if we were part of the EU, with the investment that brings, that our location and proximity to European offshore energy supply would be recognised and [carbon capture, utilisation and storage] delivered.
