Meanwhile in Scotland... 39% of Scottish electricity generation is renewable- the single biggest generation method.

Really? In Dec 2013 the Scottish Govt thought it was 29% renewables and the biggest was nuclear at 34%. Unlike renewables nuclear is baseload which doesn't need the wind to be blowing or the sun to be shining.

Wind currently supplying 1.3% of UK demand

The unspoken problem for Scottish renewables is that it depends on UK wide subsidy. If there is a yes vote will rUK consumers still be happy doing this?
