'Scotland energy to serve Scotland's people' Blackford pledges to cut off UK with IndyRef2
The SNP Westminster leader said energy-rich Scotland would no longer have to share with the UK, resulting in stronger energy security and smaller bills. The UK has been facing an ongoing rise in energy bills, with many voters faced with the prospect of having to choose whether to heat their homes or eat. Ian Blackford argued that independence would allow Scotland to minimise the growing costs and refocus the attention on greener policies.
Addressing the SNP Conference in Aberdeen, Mr Blackford said: "We know the scale of the opportunities that independence will offer.
"But we only have to look at the current context. Scotland is energy-rich - we simply shouldn't be facing an energy emergency.
"We shouldn't have cold homes and soaring bills. We produce six times more gas than we consume and nearly 100 percent of the equivalent of our electricity consumption already comes from renewables.
"This is Scotland's energy and it should serve Scotland's people."
