Green dream
Port of Cromarty Firth has sealed an “historic” deal to import green hydrogen from Norway into the UK energy market.
Shouldn't we be producing our own ? Investment in Scotland would be better for the economy / employment. Scotland should be looking to be self sufficient in these areas,surely thepandemic taught us that.
Pauline Downie You become a great hydrogen nation by producing your own hydrogen, NOT by dependency on other nations.
Denys Mcnair
Scottish administration in charge of Hydrogen, what could possibly go wrong?
Wes Boorman
Green hydrogen. Doesn’t that mean electrolysis, which means power to make distilled water? W indmills won’t supply that... 99.9% comes from fossil fuels anyway. D oes that mean we will burn the fossil fuel products and use even more energy to create hydrogen? Seems a waste to me.
Jon Priest I'm no expert, but has this pandemic not taught us that relying heavily on imported goods (whatever they may be) from other countr ies is a bad idea?
Alan Lawson It's down to economies of scale, really. But yes, I agree about not heavily relying on imports.
Andrew Falconer
In terms of economics, it’s cheaper for Scotland to import from the g lobal market. Unfortunately Scotland doesn't generate sufficient tax revenues to subsidise the cost of investment in Scotland.
Del Rashid
The whole of the UK is aggressively pursuing H ydrogen and plans to be a major hydrogen producer eventually... this is just
the first step.
Simon Turner Wood
So what's the point of the wind-powered Leven hydrogen g enerating station? We are just going to invest in another countries ability instead? Thought this was supposed to be a nationalist government?
Murray Macdonald
Distributed by road, rail and sea... So basically another 'green' vanity project.
Kyle Danko
Scotland with copious amounts of wind, rain & sea to make green power.
Iain Mceachran
Another own goal for Nicola et al.

Should the compulsory TV licence fee which pays for the BBC be scrapped?
Yes, an absurd anachronism.
Callum Macleod
Yes, they should do they same as all the other stations, why should we the public be taken to court to keep the over- paid presenters if we don't pay the licence. This is basically owned by the general public.
Eleanor Jardine
No – it’s good to have a public broadcasting service and it’s pretty good value for money. That said, it’s accountability to the public needs to be improved and it’s far too focu sed on and around London.
Bryan Poole Yes the BBC are not fit for purpose.
Pauline Clark
Constant repeats ain't worth a licence fee – apart from River City, of course.
William O’donnell
Yes, with out a doubt.
The price of a licence is disgusting, too many repeats I feel for the pensioners who have to scrimp and save to pay their licence when TV may be th e only enjoyment. Yes they should abolish television licences.
Heather Kyles
Not if it means losing the BBC as is.
Robert Stewart I think we should just repeat the one we have cos the BBC play the same programmes all the time.
Allison Stewart Yes. Let the advertisers in. We cope with advertising on other TV channels.
Belinda Wilson
Of course, goes without saying. TV licenc e fee is archaic and completely out of date. Not only that, but can anyone honestly say we get value for money?!
Christopher M Mcphee
If paying for a licence allows them to continue making the great dramas they are capable of making... then no, let their good work continue.
Elizabeth Macarthur
Yes it should be scrapped. I don't watch live TV and have not watched it for a year now.
Frankie Duffy
The BBC should just be a channel you subscribe to just like any other, then you have a choice to watch it if you want in a pay- as-you- go kind of deal.
Frank Brown
Yes – as punishment for the awful One Show and Strictly C ome D ancing
Trevor Weddell
Yes. I can’t remember the last time I watched anything on the BBC.
