Scottish wind farms will be taxed also
We need to reduce carbon dioxide emissions to help protect our environment,
but whilst Scotland is producing more and more power through wind farms,
hydro electric schemes and possibly under-sea current turbines, the
electricity they produce will be taxed as if it pollutes like electricity
from all of Englands coal, oil an gas fired plants.
Its a sad reflection on the WEAKNESS of Scotlands parliament that they
cannot tell Westminster to stuff their greenhouse gas tax as far as Scotland
is concerned.Most of Scotlands power is now 100% renewable or nuclear....
