DEPUTY First Minister John Swinney will today reject any proposals to build new nuclear power stations north of the Border, saying Scotland should not have to “make up for the failure of energy policy” in the UK.
In an address to the SNP conference, he is expected to outline how Scotland will instead focus on delivering renewable energy, rejecting criticism by the Prime Minister over the Scottish Government’s stance on the issue.
Last week, Liz Truss branded Nicola Sturgeon as being part of an “anti-growth coalition”, accusing her of failing to build new nuclear power stations to “solve the energy crisis in Scotland”.
