Nick Clegg will outline his vision for a “green economic renaissance” in Scotland at the Liberal Democrat conference in Inverness today.
The deputy prime minister is expected to highlight the UK coalition government’s achievements to delegates – and ways it can help Scotland lead the world in renewables technology.
He is due to say: “Liberal Democrats in the coalition government don’t believe in simply throwing a few headline measures at Scotland and hoping that is enough.
“We have a real vision for Scotland’s future. I want nothing short of a green economic renaissance for Scotland.
“A Scotland where green jobs fuel a thriving economic future – dockyards reopened as windfarm factories, wind and wave power providing the green energy of the future.
“Scottish universities developing new green technologies for Scottish companies to export around the world – with Scotland’s young people trained in the skills they need to be at the heart of our green economy. It is early days, but we are seeing the start of this green energy revolution already.”
