Scotland must double green energy... at least
Scotland and the wider UK need to" at least" double the amount of energy that comes from renewables to meet climate change targets, Holyrood's energy minister has said.
Paul Wheelhouse said the move-which would see more power come from onshore wind farms - would be necessary for Scotland to meet the legally binding targets.
He spoke out on the issue as MSPS from Holy rood' s five political parties united to show their support for renewable energy, with politicians holding aloft models of onshore wind turbines outside the Scottish Parliament Mr Wheelhouse said: "To achieve Scotland' s legally binding climate targets we will need to also de carbonise our transport and heat sectors, this will require Scotland and the UK at least doubling the amount of renewable energy we generate across all technologies, including onshore wind.
