I'm more worried about what happens when the oil runs out. Apparently it's the only thing of any value in Scotland and in 30 years, we're supposed to be net-ze

  Without independence, same as now. Given that even including north sea revenue Scotland is still subsidised by London There's tons of future stuff that could be invested in Scotland -- offshore wind and tidal and pumped hydro for example. That investment isn't there because the UK (and the EU for that matter) is market led and the market wants short term results over long term investment.

    > Without independence, same as now. Given that even including north sea revenue Scotland is still subsidised by London Forgive me if I've misinterpreted, but you seem to think that's an argument for staying in the UK but I see it as an argument for getting out. It's a crutch, and Scotland needs to figure out how to stand on it's own power. Why should rUK subsidise indefinitely? What if suddenly it decides to stop? And why shoudn't it?
