Letter: An ill-wind blows?
At the tactical level, we now know, from sources such as the Neta website (www.bm reports.com/bsp/bsp_home.htm) that current renewables - especially wind, pump storage and hydro - offer no viable alternative to fossil fuels and that an expansion of wind and tidal power will be a waste of time, financial resources and treasured marine and terrestrial environments.
The Climate Change Bill is a gross strategic failure in judgment and a potential death blow to the revival of the Scottish economy. With only one-fifth of 1 per cent of the world's carbon emissions originating in Scotland, it was a disgraceful indulgence by our political class and NGOs.
