Like i said some pages ago, the idea is to use the oil for good and we begin to look at what the future really can be in terms of selling oil at the right price to fund our own energy infrastructure to fuel the whole of the UK.
The currency fear factor is more psychological and political than anything that is based on economics.
No currency union slows down our development of such massive energy systems and job creation, at the same time, it single handedly wrecks the rest of the UK economy more than Scotland going independent. The people you trust versus the people you're told not to trust. The news you see versus the news you don't see.
Food is another huge one, i know someone who sells agricultural lighting setups from Phillips and yeah, generally people up here are starting to think, right, this is what we can do when we're forced to be responsibly competitive with creative thinking thrown in as well.
Could you imagine Alisdair Darling, Miliband or Cameron coming up to Scotland and having a debate about renewable energy?
Haha, never gonna happen. But if it happened today and neither side was allwoed to prepare a script, who would talk openly about it, and who would be humming and hawing?
