Humbug indeed!
Could I suggest that you your tireless correspondent from Arrochar might take a small break from his endless SNP bashing (Unadulterated humbug; SN, 14/12/14) to actually acquaint himself with the list of powers that are ‘devolved’ to Holyrood and ‘reserved’ to Westminster at present.
Specifically Schedule 5, Head D, Energy policy is ‘reserved’ to Westminster: http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1998/46/schedule/5
The evil green taxes and renewable subsidies that so exercise the Sage of Arrochare are entirely controlled by our ‘Imperial Masters’ via the Department of Energy and Climate Change in London.
And have precisely zero to do with the SNP.
Sorry, John, one out of ten for effort; must do better!
