WWF hails energy target

GREEN campaigners have welcomed a new target of generating 80 per cent of Scotland's electricity from renewable sources by 2020.

Dr Richard Dixon, director of WWF Scotland, said Scotland was already a "world leader" on developing wave power.

He added: "Scotland could provide not only for our own domestic needs but also become a major exporter of clean, green energy. We will be playing to our natural advantages in wind, wave and tidal power."
