BBC Reporting Scotland this morning have been plugging Labour’s empty plans for GB Energy and, on their website, headlining a ‘green energy hub‘ idea for Grangemouth as a sop for the loss of Scotland’s only oil refinery.
Not being reported, this from yesterday:
The expansion of offshore wind energy in Scotland creates substantial opportunities for investors. Scottish Government analysis has estimated that the potential total global capital expenditure value of ScotWind, INTOG, port and supply chain projects, assuming the full deployment of the potential pipeline and development of the relevant projects, could be around £100 billion.
Is it reliably sourced?
Analysis by the Scottish Government has aggregated estimates for the following:
- ScotWind – based on submitted Supply Chain Development Statements (updated in April 2023)
- INTOG – based on available Supply Chain Development Statement and analysis
- Ports and Supply Chain – based on Strategic Investment Model and Scottish National Investment Bank and Enterprise Agency pipelines
What, no GMB ‘survey‘ saying 72% of a handful of members doubt it?’ No Jack McConnell thinktank to insist the SNP have got their sums wrong? BBC Scotland’s News Editor, James Cook, demands at least one of those.
Talking-up Scotland 'Albatraz' 
But, but, to quote Agent P – what happens when the wind doesn’t blow and the sun doesn’t shine?

The BritNats’ English and faux Scottish media hot air should suffice in place of the sun and wind in Scotland, definitely.

yes, always lots of column inches slavishly devoted to talking Scotland down. The real problem though, is the number of Scots who fall for it.

I see both those links have ‘Crown Estate Scotland’ and logo plonked at top of page. That needs looking at, the ‘Crown Estate’….
