Clean, renewable energy sources are now Scotland’s number one source of power, according to new figures from the UK’s Department of Energy and Climate Change and reported in Scotland’s daily paper The Scotsman. The figures, which include solar, wind, hydro and biomass, showed that renewable energy generated 32 percent more electricity than any other single source in the first half on 2014. Renewable energy sources produced a record 10.3 terawatt-hours of power, compared to 7.8TWh from nuclear, 5.6TWh from coal and 1.4TWh from gas-fired power stations during that same time.
