Offshore wind farms have been favoured over inland ones by Westminster. Kaye asks whether Scotland should follow suit.
The Westminster Government is to make big changes to the way it subsidises renewable energy. Ministers will announce that they will cut support for onshore wind and solar energy, but give more backing to offshore wind power. The Scottish Government however are still committed to onshore wind farms as a part of their renewables policy.
Kaye asks: Off shore wind farms have been favoured over onshore by the Westminster Government- should Scotland follow suit?
