A NEW report has revealed how independence could unleash Scotland’s energy potential and be the “equivalent of a new oil boom for Scotland”, according to the SNP.
The report by Dr David Skilling, director of Landfall Strategy Group, showed that the sector could create up to 385,000 jobs and boost the Scottish economy by £34 billion a year by 2050.
The SNP’s leader at Westminster, Ian Blackford, said the report shows "independence is the key to unleashing Scotland's potential as the European renewable energy powerhouse of the 21st century".
