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.

Opening nuclear power plants across Scotland would simply be a waste of time and money, and would see Scotland turn its back on our world-leading renewable resources.
Labour are quickly running out of excuses for why GB Energy will not deliver for workers, cut household bills and ensure that the wealth generated in Scotland stays in Scotland.
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.
What is left must not disappear into another short-term fix. It should be invested in Scotland’s future.
