Remainder of your post is meaningless drivel Agreed, it was not a majority of the vote, but more than double the nearest opposition, in fact more than the two largest opposition parties (Conservative and Labour) combined.

England cant self-sustain though, I agree. It's there for luck that they've got friendly neighbours who'll sell them leccy They've a brand new shiny cable from Norway that cost £2 billion to do that, they don't need us. 1 Link to comment

To be honest, even harnessing the wind energy at 25% is questionable. I did see a partial wind map for Europe that shows the wind strength in Scotland is greater. Not sure why they've missed out Norwar, Sweden and other European nations Link to comment

A former of resident of Cove Bay (the posh part of Cove) I'm led to believe. How the fuck he ended up on the Stand Free video is beyond me. Surely, there were better and more noteworthy moments in our club's history to be put on the video rather his goal against Hearts. Link to comment

Not sure why they've missed out Norwar, Sweden and other European nations I'll look for a link when I get time over the weekend. Can't mind where I read it. For the past 2 years Scotland has already generated around 100% of the power we need. There's no reason we shouldn't be building upon that and exporting it to Europe. The technology to enable this to be done more efficiently will come but we as a country should be investing in this as heavily as possible IMO. Link to comment

We'd be running at a huge deficit, we'd struggle to pay our old people pensions and benefits to the scroungers and disabled. Have we a huge sofa with dosh down the cushion?? If England closed the border you'd have Scots in Dinghies trying to reach Norway, I'm not even joking about that, we'd have no currency of our own and no one would lend us money. Even food banks would close as people wouldn't be able to afford to donate. Fucking mountains of rubbish and power cuts, the place would be apocalyptic. Link to comment

The wind must be very intelligent, it drops at the English border according to that map. People need only look at their power bills, surely everyone has had constant letters about price increases? Renewable's cost a fortune and are not reliable, the less we use conventional means the more power will cost. In the rush to go green we'll see old people dying in their homes as they won't be able to afford heating. That's this year, the future will only see worse. 1 Link to comment

Scotland produces expensive electricity, that's fact. This new line will actually save every household in Britain money as it's cheap, that's fact as well. Where will England go shopping for more?

Utterly clueless, the increase in your electricity bills is down to the wholesale price of electricity. "Unfortunately, against this backdrop I am today alerting customers that global prices for fossil fuels, especially gas, are increasing at an unprecedented rate. Ultimately this will feed into all customer energy bills in the UK." https://www.ofgem.gov.uk/news-and-views/blog/energy-bills-are-rising-and-what-you-can-do-about-it "Renewables cost a fortune" ... more bollockshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cost_of_electricity_by_source 1 Link to comment
