Is new coal in Scotland now dead?
Rob Edwards reported in yesterday's Sunday Herald that the Scottish Government now think that new coal-fired power stations will not be needed to cover our electricity needs.
The change in thinking comes about because the government are now projecting more renewables than they were previously. In fact, it looks like they've been caught on the hop by the number of companies which want to use Scotland's natural resources.
With them previously ruling out new nuclear power stations, and now new coal stations, it looks like Scotland will be on the right track to produce most of it's energy from CO2-free sources.
It should certainly sound the death-knell for the proposed Hunterston plant.
