Opening new North Sea oil fields will not provide a “practical” solution to the energy crisis caused by the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Nicola Sturgeon has said.
The First Minister rejected a call from Scottish Conservative leader Douglas Ross to “maximise” the output from the North Sea and bring nuclear power into the energy mix.
In Holyrood exchanges the First Minister said the immediate action that needed to be taken was for the UK chancellor to offset the soaring costs of heating homes.
