Hairyloon Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 This is also symbolised by pro-EU demonstrations all over the continent in recent months, completely unreported in British press, one wonders why? The British press does not pretend to be impartial on this issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I1L2T3 Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 But there is also a plentiful supply of untapped oil fields in other parts of the world, meaning that the price of oil is likely to remain low for the foreseeable future. Without substantial oil revenues, economic case for Scottish independence will remain weak. As for renewables, a major problem is in transporting wind and wave energy to the main population centres. Moreover, the problem of how to store this energy remains. If the subsidies for these forms of energy were removed, the case for them becomes even weaker. Scotland has the oil and gas fields. It has already virtually achieved energy security through renewables with masses of untapped renewables to bring on stream. Alone, it would develop an economy similar to Norway.

Puggie Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 The British press does not pretend to be impartial on this issue. Nor does [Her Maj]. I think she once complained the EU was eclipsing her Commonwealth project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
