NFLA Scotland member authorities such as Glasgow, Dundee and Shetland have shown great leadership in promoting energy efficiency projects. With the positive developments announced for offshore wind, wave and tidal energy, Scotland can show that it does not need new nuclear power. Should all the proposed energy moves and the positive energy efficiency projects come off, Scotland could be producing 178 per cent of its energy needs over the next 20 years.
