A huge chunk of the SNP's plan for energy investment is based of UK wide initiatives run by Westminster.

The Labour (and SNP) supporters that said it was the Tory's fault were kind of correct as this is largely down under-investment. But to blame Labour for not fixing the national info structure in 6 months is insane.

Transmission fees are managed by Ofsted ,SSE and the National grid.
Transmission is subsidised in Scotland as well (partly by taxpayers of rUK) to act like there is conspiracy against Scotland from private companies is odd.

I am moaning about you asking for both tax cuts and spending increases.

I am not denying spending was used for mitigation, but that was voluntary action (which I don't particularly oppose).
Also you are still complaining about both taxes rises and low spending. You can't have both.

I feel like the SNP have kind of done this with the UK budget.
