Scottish government admits key wind power statistic is wrong

Offshore wind projects have formed a key part of the Scottish government's renewable energy plans

Ms Slater, a Scottish Green MSP, insisted that ministers had "understood that the statistic was accurate at the time that they cited it".She added: "Now that it has come to our attention that it is not, we are working to update statistics on how our offshore wind potential compares to other countries.

They added: "Since then it has become an SNP mantra: frequently cited in debates at Holyrood and the House of Commons, and a key message in campaigning material from the SNP, Yes Scotland, and Believe in Scotland. The incorrect statistic had been repeated by seven different government ministers over the years, he added.

No shit Sherlock!

Ya think

Meanwhile, there is news on other channels.

It it any wonder why we get skeptical? Plus nobody seems to want to allay my concerns about the impact of wind farms on bird life. Could the BBC address this?

From the party that brought you a manifesto to leave the UK economy with no numbers. Quelle Surprise.

Proving once again that the corrupt SNP are flat out liars and are simply taking their voters for fools.

Wrong? Wrong? Kind of like the costings for the ferries? SNP are a joke.

So they lied.

There's a lot of wind coming from Sturgeons arse can't they use that

✊🏼✊🏼✊🏼✊🏼✊🏼

This article and argument is so unhelpful. There is enormous potential offshore and the urgency is deafening. Stop bickering, nit picking and pull together.

A sincericide?

Pissing contest. The takeaway is 40GW of offshore wind generation and the country running on wind exclusively, even if briefly reaching that milestone.
