Alex Salmond, the First Minister of Scotland, says: …

… ‘We have just over 8 per cent of the UK’s population and 1 per cent of the EU’s population. But we have 90 per cent of the UK’s hydro capacity, 64 per cent of the EU’s oil reserves, 25 per cent of the EU’s offshore wind and tidal power potential, and 10 per cent of its wave power potential…. Our energy resources can power much of Europe – our energy innovation can power the world.’
