Hoping for more open information on Energy Supplies and Usage within Scotland as a REGION if not a NATION

Currently the Information is gathered for whole of UK

It must be collected at all the inputs and outlets within the National Boundaries

Would be nice to know

How much Oil and Gas comes ashore to Scotland from the SCOTTISH SECTOR

How much Electricity is produced in Scotland

HOW much is Used here and how much is Exported to England and Ireland etc

Why do the Scottish People/Government get REVENUE from this

The Oil Revenue goes to WESTMINSTER Government

Why cannot Scotland have an ENERGY FUND like Norway

Why does Scotland need to Install 70 Giga Watts of Wind Energy when our demand is only of the order of between 5 and 10 Giga Watts PEAK and we currently have some 15 Giga Watts in the Renawables

Could this be a panic measure from the ENGLISH Government

They have reserved powers over the Energy Policy in UK and they need to replace some 10 Nuclear Stations within a very short timescale

IS Wind Energy the SOLUTION

It is Costly to install and to Maintain and does not use Scottish Technology for the TURBINES (and there are rumours that the Gearboxes need regular expensive Repair

Is Nuclear the Solution for Scotland

Is Hydro Pumped Storage perhaps not a more economical Solution for Scotland in Conjuction with suitable ON Shore wind Turbines

Off-Shore Wind Turbines

Are they not prohibitively expensive and perhaps even unproven Technology

What are the Reasons for Beauly to Denny Transmission Line

Why is the Instaled capacity at Peterhead 800Mw greater than the Line Capacity
