Greens: Take over North Sea oil to break colonialism
THE Scottish Greens said yesterday that the North Sea oil industry should be nationalised to break Scotland’s dependence on “distant multinationals and neoliberal forces.”
A report commissioned by the Scottish Green Party calls for a move away from “energy colonialism to energy democracy.”
The strategy would abandon tax cuts for oil companies and introduce measures to empower local communities by having publicly owned renewable energy.
