• Resumen

  • Scotland is arguably one of the greenest countries in Europe. It produces 40% of Scottish electricity demand from renewable sources, and models suggest this could rise to 67% by 2018. That's closing in on the government's goal of producing enough green power to supply the equivalent of all of Scottish demand by 2020. Some fear that independence means this goal will be too expensive for Scotland because offshore wind is expensive. Here, Brahic examines how wind will power Scotland's green ambitions.
