That's a building in Glasgow and the article is discussing planning permission by the Glasgow Council.

Scotland’s net exports of electricity to other UK nations in 2023 amounted to 15.9 TWh (Terrawatt-hour is a unit of energy which represents one trillion watts of power used for one hour.) and worth Β£1.5billion.

All we need to do is fit a meter after independence.

Scotland voted 62% to remain in the EU.

Westminster dragged us out against our will.

Our voice was ignored. Our wishes dismissed.

The Union’s shown it doesn’t work for us.

Now’s the time to end the United Kingdom and let Scotland take its own path. 🏴󠁧󠁒󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 #IndyRef2

You can't just put a Β£ sign and a value, on every aspect of Society and expect to make a few quid from it.

Housing, Comms, Water, Power.

As Margaret Thatcher showed, decades later, it comes back to haunt you.

Like what we're seeing in the UK, now.

Somewhat unbelievably, the UK's Chief Brexit Negotiator, Lord David Frost, he used to be the Chief Executive of... The Scotch Whisky Association.

It tells you all you need to know, about BOTH entities!

Incredible but true!

Scotland DIDN'T vote for it! Awkward!

Time for Scottish Independence!

For years, Unionists warned that independence would bring economic collapse, isolation, and political instability.

They painted a grim picture of Scotland struggling to survive.

Yet ironically, their lies have come true - not because of independence, but because Scotland remains in the UK.

@BBCScotlandNews never knowingly truthful or unbiased but always anti Scotland and anti Scottish.

The Media won't acknowledge this video of the farmers blocking an ambulance with its blue lights on so could you could RT it so people see it?

"Grow up" . . now there is a truly Twitter quality reply. Sad to see here. But more to the point, you do indy no favours with such easy to demonstrate FUD. We need to be taken seriously on questions such as currency and debt. This BBC/WoS type of framing an issue does NOT help the cause.

But even if I did not use Octopus at 7.5p per kWh . . if I had the average UK home unit price of 22.36p per kWh . . it would STILL only be Β£17.23 to fill my tank for 311 miles of range. Unless you drive a moped, I suggest home charging with ANY unit price will save money.

I drive an ID4. I know *EXACTLY* how long it takes. Hint: many fewer hours than I sleep each night. And as for cost . . . "filling" my tank (if empty) at night, at home, costs Β£5.78 for 311 miles of range. Care to compare that to filling your ICE tank?

And by ignoring "slow home chargers" . . . that *IS* the cheery picking. Most EV owners today charge their cars 90%+ at home. This post frames the question of ICE vs. EV by ignoring the both the cheapest AND most frequent way EV drivers charge. Calling your post disingenuous is being polite.

I understand the desire to bash Labour. But this level of cheery-picking statistics and framing the narrative is worth of BBC Scotland when covering the SNP. You say 8 kWh is too slow for home charging? Tell us, how fast is your home petrol pump - to be a fair comparison???

Why the #SNP are the only party left in Scotland that puts Social Justice first.
