🔌 Who Should Own Scotland's Renewable Energy? | Our Power Campaign
Scotland's renewable energy boom is generating billions—but who's actually benefiting? In this episode, Fiona and Marlene chat with Rowan Aitchison from the brand-new campaign group Our Power, a coalition pushing to shift the unequal ownership of Scotland's renewable resources from private corporations to public hands.
If you believe Scotland's natural resources should benefit Scots, not just shareholders, this conversation is for you. From wind farms to community energy, discover what a publicly-owned renewable future could look like.
