OFFSHORE WIND FARMS WILL SECURE SCOTLAND'S ENERGY INDEPENDENCE
Commenting on the news that the Crown Estate has announced details of its offshore wind development partners SNP Highland & Islands MSP, Rob Gibson - a member of the Scottish Parliament's Climate Change Committee - said:
"This New Year 2010 has received the biggest sustainable economic development signals for Scotland in fifty years. The development of offshore wind is great news in both environmental and economic terms.
"The Moray Firth and Inchcape offshore wind farms will secure Scotland's electricity independence and the Beauly to Denny power line will help carry clean energy to markets in Scotland and beyond.
"New jobs and new prospects off the coats of Scotland will help transform our fortunes and energise the nation.
"All efforts to build infrastructure support including the liberation of the Nigg fabrication yard for renewable production is even more urgent."
