💨💷Scotland — land of whisky, kilts, and apparently, discounted sovereignty over its own breeze. The nation famous for harnessing the wind to dry washing on the line is now watching billions in renewable energy profits fly straight into foreign bank accounts. Of the 29 companies in the shiny new ScotWind project, only four are actually based in the UK. That’s right — Scotland’s winds are putting more cash into overseas coffers than tartan sells in tourist shops.
🌀 When “Green Energy” Means Everyone Else Gets the Green
Imagine building a beautiful wind farm off your coast, only to realize you’re basically renting the wind to multinational corporations. Scotland provides the landscape, the infrastructure, the gale-force gusts — and in return, gets a polite pat on the back and maybe a community garden grant.
It’s the renewable energy version of a yard sale gone wrong: “Here, take the turbines, take the profits — just leave us the breeze, aye?” The same politicians who beam about “sustainability” seem less interested in sustaining Scotland’s own wealth. Meanwhile, energy bills stay sky-high, and the wind doesn’t even whisper “thank you.” 🌬️💸
Once again, it’s the same story — public resource, private profit. The only thing truly renewable here? The cycle of being robbed with a smile.
