SCOTLAND'S ambition to be a fully fossil free nation has moved closer after the government agreed to adopt a preferred position of offering no support for coal extraction, the Scottish Greens have announced.
Co-leader Lorna Slater, Minister for Green Skills, Circular Economy and Biodiversity, confirmed the move in a speech to her party’s conference in Dundee, with the Scottish Government adopting a preferred policy position of no support for coal extraction in Scotland, the same process that was followed for fracking.
Slater also shared with delegates her vision of how Scottish Greens can assist with the push to Yes.
