Patrick Harvie: “Scotland as a society should have been readier for events like we’ve seen over recent days.”

I urge the First Minister to launch a public consultation on this as soon as possible.

The opportunities that independence offers Scotland are vast.

At a time when we must be maximising our efforts to decarbonise our heating and transport systems, this scale of increased demand for Scotland’s renewable electricity is incompatible with achieving Scotland’s net zero targets.

We must protect Scotland from a potential power-grab from Westminster.
