Energy efficiency is the low-hanging fruit in a low carbon future. Which makes it surprising that it has taken the Scottish Government so bloody long to do anything about it.
They've finally got around to announcing their plan to tackle energy waste, with an "ambition" to cut it by 12% over the next ten years.
Actually, their ambition should be to cut it by 100%. I'm fed up with the government aiming for the extremely low and achievable in their targets.
The problem the SNP have with it is that it's not sexy. No big positive headlines, no one to shake hands with for the photocall, no ribbons to cut.
Nothing, in fact, except lower power bills and less carbon.
So that's five million happy Scots, and one unhappy First Minister!
