SNP and Greens must think again

Sir, – The Ukraine/russia confrontation has taught us one thing – Nicola Sturgeon and her Green comrades need to ditch their opposition to North Sea oil and gas production during transition.

The United Kingdom cannot be dependent on importing fuel, which will happen if these ultra socialists get their wish.

It is good news the UK Government intends to encourage oil companies to keep drilling. Our Snp/green anti-business, anti-economy coalition has turned its back on “Scotland’s oil”, businesses and families dependent on it.

Being reliant on other countries for our oil and gas is not cost-effective and will leave the UK vulnerable and increase emissions elsewhere. Douglas Cowe. Alexander Avenue, Kingseat.
