Scottish energy consenting regime did not do rigorous GHG analysis on the highly polluting Peterhead scheme👉x.com/Andrew9Boswell…
Its EIA now needs to be redone. Hope any "reform" will address issues like these.

Clean power requires faster planning, but we don’t have a single planning system across GB. We’ve worked with colleagues in @scotgov (notable in itself) on reforms to the Scottish energy consenting regime. These are critical to Clean Power 2030. gov.uk/government/new… 🏴

Today: £500m cuts to Scottish public services, with sustainable & active travel a major loser.
Two months ago: £185m contract let to an English company for new road-building: transport.gov.scot/news/next-mile…
Yes, there's choices to be made in public spending priorities. But @scotgov keeps on making the wrong ones.
Scottish Government@scotgov
We are taking urgent action to balance the 2024-2025 Scottish Budget after high inflation put unprecedented pressure on the public finances. Finance Secretary @ShonaRobison has announced measures to deliver a balanced budget. For more information visit: gov.scot/news/urgent-ac…

@OctopusEnergy Due to serious greyness today the solar panels haven’t filled the battery yet, so battery charging and oven on to get dinner organised!

We don't like wasting green power. So, while the summer sun lasts, we're giving Octoplus customers #FreeElectricity 🤑 The first session is today, 1-2pm.
Every Octoplus customer is in for this one: so if that's you, fill your boots - any extra power above normal is free!

@WorldBollard - how long until you catch your first BMW here? Well done to @blairanderson35 for pushing this through 💚

The Byres Road bike lane is getting bollards! 🚲 I’ve been working with officers for almost a year now to get these added, stopping inconsiderate parking from blocking the bike lane 🅿️ Not long to go now until all of the Phase 1 (Partick Cross to Uni Ave) work is complete!

The @scotgov has refused to meet groups who have concerns about new fossil fuel power station in Aberdeenshire.
Put they have met the developers @sse & @equinor 61 times at least.
This is deeply unjust.

@Andrew9Boswell @TransportActio2 @UKSupremeCourt Missed the "educational" word, which is important. I'd taken the "you can only care about what you know about" to apply to planning-type decision making and the deliberate refusing to look for env impact that one sometimes sees (cf the bats in your link road case)

@rupe_nash @TransportActio2 Hi Rupert (good to hear from you etc)
The judgment also refered to the "important educational function" of public partcipation👉caselaw.nationalarchives.gov.uk/uksc/2024/20#:….
Hugely encouraging to hear this from @UKSupremeCourt
English
Historic judgment &win at UKSC makes important points (1) public participation in environmental decsion making 👉cornerstonebarristers.com/finch-vs-surre… (2) national policy 👉 cornerstonebarristers.com/finch-vs-surre…
"policy .. is irrelevant to the proper interpretation of the EIA ..."

@DrMaudBailey @ScottishLabour Candidates get a full copy of the electoral register. They also have a right to send an election address to everyone who is registered to vote in their constituency. Bit annoying if you don’t like the candidate but nothing untoward

@D_G_Alexander Serious question: what do you say to this Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis report? It’s v unhappy reading for SMR boosters ieefa.org/articles/small…

Torness continues to provide essential base load capacity to complement offshore and onshore wind. Nuclear power remains an essential part of the clean energy mix yet the SNP’s continued opposition now risks denying Scotland new opportunities such as SMRs. heraldscotland.com/news/24389325.…

My policy to ban loud snacks from theatres and cinemas has secured the backing of @campbellclaret. He has asked if I will also join the campaign to #binthevoxpop. I say the problem isn’t the people being asked. It’s what you ask them. Exhibit A:

We've written to STV to urge them to rethink their plans to invite every major party to a general election debate except the Scottish Greens.
With our environment breaking down around us it's never been more important for Green voices to be are heard. 👇
