Patrick Harvie: “We must come together as a Yes movement to discuss the next steps towards becoming a normal country.”

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.

It is imperative that the Scottish Government gets this right, and doesn’t leave communities behind while bending to the whim of well-funded developers who are seeking to make a profit from Scotland’s resources.

The opportunities that independence offers Scotland are vast.

We are one year on from Parliament’s historic vote, and the Scottish Government has failed to turn words into action.
