Yup, Scotland has an embarrassment of power. HVDC lines springing up all over the sea will see it transported to the UK population centers. And the King through the crown estate has already reaped millions, with a recurring revenue of millions more projected. We're going to see hydrogen in a growing way in the coming decade. We're going to see salt batteries installed, and they'll be huge. We're going to see nuclear likely repowering existing sites in Scotland (the SNP left a loop whole - no NEW nuclear power in Scotland). We're going to see more pumped storage finally built. And decarbonise, not because we must (although we must!), but because these techs all stand to make a lot of money. Oil and coal can't stand up to the no running costs of these techs and the installation costs are dropping like stones for them all. What does this mean for the union? The Guardian won't tell you, but Scotland is the biggest cash cow for investors again. Forget the Mccrone report, that will look chump change by 2060. These assets are cash printers - and are you going to benefit? Will the SG?

Will we buggery.

I love making the streets of London glisten gold. It really perks me up when Aberdeen's granite shines silver in the sun as it helps me imagine what those poor struggling toffs in London have got via our labour and I'm glad I could do my bit to help. /s
