Minister provokes nuclear war over Scotland's energy future


THE UK government was accused last night of trying to frustrate Scotland's push for renewable energy by bullying the SNP into accepting new nuclear power stations.

Energy Secretary Ed Miliband will arrive on Scottish soil today to warn First Minister Alex Salmond he is missing out on jobs and investment, the day after announcing 11 possible sites for new nuclear plants in England and Wales.

A spokeswoman for the Department of Energy and Climate Change said Mr Miliband's visit to Hunterston B power station in Ayrshire was timed to show "how far we are moving and how far Scotland is being left behind".

The Miliband offensive comes as Jim Mather, Scotland's energy minister, visits the Isle of Lewis, where a controversial 53-turbine wind farm near the Callanish standing stones is expected to be given the go-ahead shortly.

A spokesman for Mr Salmond accused Mr Miliband of trying to "dictate" Scotland's energy policy and of "frustrating" its efforts towards renewables.
