The costs of Alex Salmond’s green energy revolution are “going through the roof” and threaten to bankrupt companies by doubling energy bills, business leaders have warned the First Minister.
To say nothing about losing 3.7 jobs per ‘green’ job. Or Spain’s 2.2 jobs.
The report’s key finding is that for every job created in the UK in renewable energy, 3.7 jobs are lost. In Scotland there is no net benefit from government support for the sector, and probably a small net loss of jobs.

Peak Government interference.
That's a thread winning phrase!
Thanks for sharing.
