Scotland renewable energy could power UK

Scotland could producing ten times as much electricity from renewables as the country needs allowing to also power the rest of the UK, so claimed Scotland’s own Alex Salmond last week as he described the huge potential for the sector in his country. To emphasise his point, he announced that the Scottish Government would put up £10 million to fund the world’s biggest single prize for innovation in marine energy.

If a similar country like Norway can produce the majority of its energy from renewables, I don’t see why Scotland can’t also, so if the political will is there … It will be interesting to see what happens in the future
