GORDON Brown’s think tank has insisted Scotland should lead efforts to “rewire” the UK’s electricity grid as renewable energy expands.
Our Scottish Future, which was set up by the former prime minister, said Scotland is well placed to be at the heart of creating a “clean grid” for the UK.Pete Wood, an associate lecturer in environmental studies at the Open University, is the author of the report.
“Our practical suggestions suggest how to achieve those goals by building upon Scotland’s world-leading strengths, running investment north to rebalance the country., Government must not miss this chance to regenerate communities and rebuild job prospects in some of our most deprived areas. Our Scottish Future director Eddie Barnes added: “The next UK Government will undertake an immense task, essentially to rewire Britain.“We need to learn from the introduction of wind power over the last 20 years. Britain failed to take full advantage: jobs that could have been created here were instead created abroad.”We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories.
