The short on-line 'accessible without subscription' web page of the Press and Journal informs us:
Donald Trump will today tell MSPs he would not have spent a single penny in Scotland had he known the government wanted to “decimate” the country with windfarms.
The US billionaire believes the Scottish Government is heading towards economic ruin with its green energy proposals.
The SNP wants 100% of Scotland’s electricity supply to come from renewable energy by 2020 – and hundreds of wind turbine projects are planned across the north and north-east.
So just how many wind farms will that mean and how much of the Scottish landscape will have to accommodate this? To get an idea why not try the freely available short synopsis of the book, 'Sustainable Energy - without the hot air' (page giving links to both book and synopsis).
According to a former Chief Scientific Adviser, 'This remarkable book sets out, with enormous clarity and objectivity, the various alternative low-carbon pathways that are open to us.'
Page 5 of the synopsis shows 'Five energy plans for Britain.' Where, 'All these supply-side plans assume that demand has been substantially reduced by efficiency savings in heating and transport.'
'To convey the scale of energy plans that add up', figure 9 on page 7, shows a map of Britain bearing a sixth plan. This sixth plan features every possible low carbon energy source, and lies roughly in the middle of the first five, it is called plan M.
Surely something here to spark a good debate?
And attract lots of comments
