Comment posted Morphing Scotland: Saudi Arabia to Silicone Valley by Jnr Tick.

Green, renewables, harnessing the elements and what nature provides with the aim to have less or eventually no reliance on polluting dirty fossil fuels, hope I am still around in the decades to come to see this come to fuition Globally. Regarding Japan, they are backing off their commitments on climate change such is the sudden rise in consumption of fossil fuels since their nuclear lower station problems. They may have turned a couple of nuclear power stations back on rather than risk blackout but this country are far from happy about continuation of the reliance on this power. A vote put to the Italians last year threw up a 90% vote against going down the nuclear power station route, a result many other European countries I am sure would echo. Last I read on Germany they plan to phase out their nuclear power stations within the next 8-10 years.

• “Nothing like putting all your eggs in one basket”
  The not so infinite and polluting fossil fuels accompanied by Nuclear power are old eggs in one basket, very short sighted indeed. Shame on Scotland for striving towards non reliance on these polluting fuels, for striving towards lowering our carbon footprint and aiming to sustain our lifestyles with 100% green energy. Whether we manage this within the timescale we are looking to achieve to me is not as important as leading the way and by example, influencing others, showing there is another way. The fact that we have this ‘out of sight out of mind’ way of dealing with spent uranium, burying it in tonnes of concrete until we know what to do with it, is just not good enough. Countries like Japan and Germany are now turning their backs on nuclear energy with the latest contamination in Japan making these and other countries think again. Providing energy from green sources is definately the way ahead but will take time to develop as many are still in their infancy yet to be harnessed to their full potential.

  Like your tedious disingenuious Americanisms after each post haven’t we seen these very same observations in your posts?
  How many times now have you typed up this list before, did you just copy and paste?
  Now, we can all if immature enough to, highlight others grammar and punctuation but as you say lets leave that behind, a wee bit boring eh?
  Finally, where in my posts have I accused you of “lying”?
  The issue I had with your views are clear, nothing to do with lies, nothing to do with competency in what they deliver to date, just your suggestion that these deficiencies, call them what you will, are endemic therefor don’t vote for an independent Scotland as this is what you’ll get.
  “I’m waiting (yawn yawn)” There you are, 30 mins, is this quick enough a response for you?
  Hope, if content isn’t, my grammar is at least up to your standard in this one.

  So this is where your at Simon

  “Have the SNP shown, by example, that they are no longer a party of protest but a party that is unified and capable of governing Argyll and well as they would govern Scotland?”

  Don’t vote ‘Yes’, an independent Scotland will be run just like the SNP run Argyll.

  FFS, what kind of arguement is that?
  What have you got to say about the SNP’s performance first and second term in Holyrood? Noticed you only cited a small elected group in one region of this country to suggest this is how an independent Scotland would be. I don’t mind for the squillionth time reminding you lot that a proper Scottish Labour party, Scotland focused Tory pary etc etc will as well as the SNP have Scotland’s interests at heart if ‘Yes’ is successful in 2014.
  ” imagine if you had voted for them – what an embarrassment.”
  Well I and many like me did in two successive Scottish elections, not in the slightest embarrassed.

  We get the same garbbage here in Dunoon, “If they cannae run a ferry service how can they run a country” You know, good, level, well thought out, rational comparisons!

  If this new, partially inexperienced administration in Kilmory were ticking over like a well oiled machine delivering good steady local governance, which they are not for the time being, not for one single second would I expect you, Newsroom and those with other political leanings to endorse anything the SNP delivered locally or let alone nationally but we’re well used to this.

  “Two SNP councillors, not the sharpest”

  On what grounds do they merit this description?

  The SNP councillors have been condemned from pillar to post for not doing what is best for the electorate in this fiasco instead accused of prioritising self interest, yet the decisions of two to co-operate for the greater good is viewed as a decision made by “not the sharpest” of individuals.

• First Minister’s choice not to condemn mob behaviour proves Farage point
  If come independence our Welfare/Social security is to be exploited by as you predict “the creep north” we would no longer rely on another country reforming it to discourage.

  As things stand being on benefits and work is a close call for some and will continue to be until as fairer system is brought in.

  Voting ‘Yes’ gives the people who live here in Scotland that choice.

• First Minister’s choice not to condemn mob behaviour proves Farage point
  No idea where you can find UKIP’s policies Malcolm.

  Farages recent success down south prompted me to attempt to peruse their manifesto. It was nigh on impossible bar political commentors and journalists views which as we are well aware cannot be relied upon.

  One thing is sure, Scotland will get it’s erse felt if the unimaginable ever happened and UKIP gained control here. Some of the bileous anti-Scottish quotes in tweets etc. from colleagues in his party leave us in no doubt the contempt they have for us in Scotland.

  It is also no secret that they wish to do away with 128 or so MSP’s replacing with Scottish MP’s effectively ensuring a return to complete Westminster control. This to be done one week a month on “devolved business” at Holyrood, a thoughtful gesture.

  Some on here on here must be drooling at the very thought, none more so than our Newsroom who has stated in her articles the almost entire Scottish politicians deficiences, inadequacies and inability to govern this country.
  Of course these claims carry little weight, at least in recent times as Scotland’s unemployemnt figures, growth etc. out-performs the UK’s as has been well reported in a pro-union media. How that is managed with what some believe to be second rate politicians and limited powers is beyond me.
  What it says about the ‘superior’ politicians in Westminster is self evident.
