A total of 87% of people in Scotland who responded to an energy survey said the UK should meet its demand for oil and gas from domestic production.
The research was led by advisory firm True North, which said the findings also reveal that energy companies operating in the North Sea are seen to have a “positive impact on the UK economy by a factor of five to one”.
The firm’s managing partner, Fergus Mutch, said despite the north east of Scotland facing scrutiny over its oil and gas industry, the region has “nationwide backing”.
