Expect new wave of jobs, says Ed Miliband
ENERGY Secretary Ed Miliband has said thousands of Scottish engineering jobs can be created by investing in "clean energy".
The MP was speaking ahead of a visit to the Pelamis Wave Power unit in Leith, where he met the company's chief technical officer Richard Yemm.
Mr Miliband said: "The global economy is being transformed as we begin to use clean energy to power our vehicles, heat our homes and produce our electricity.
"Thanks to its skilled workforce and access to the North Sea, Scotland can be a big winner from this shift."
