This "The fact that wind energy covered 98% of the Scotland’s needs in 2014 does not seem to be a convincing argument for him." is a flat out lie

from http://thinkprogress.org/climate/2014/11/05/3589525/bumper-month-for-wind-in-scotland/

As of September, the country got 29.8 percent of its electricity from renewables, 34.4 percent from nuclear, and only 34.4 percent from fossil fuels. Scotland hopes to generate the equivalent of 100 percent of its electricity from renewables by 2020 and to export non-renewable production from conventional power plants to countries like England.

Even the 29.8% renewables is not entirely wind. Renewables are many things besides wind; solar, tidal, alcohol, etc.
