An Open Letter to the Scottish Green Party

Hi

I'm David, I'm 42, Scottish by birth and by nature, I have supported the SNP since I was 11 years old by being vocal about the SNP and independence.

I have often voted Scottish Green with my second vote in Scotland.

I want to talk about green energy and the economics of green energy, and what it could mean to everyday Scots.

As Scottish Greens your agenda should be:

1. Aim towards green initiatives with a goal of impacting not just the environment positively, but positively impacting everyday lives of Scots.

2. Making electricity from green energy as close to free as possible.

That's it.

How do you do that?

I have *some* thoughts on this, like selling our fossil fuels to *only* countries that over-meet the requirements of the French Accords, but I understand that might not be popular with yourselves.. so please hear me out with this second idea..

If we as country set up enough green energy to supply every private household with free electricity and that we are in surplus, enough to make a sizeable profit to replace the amount gained by fossil fuels .. who would pay for gas when they are getting electricity for free?

This removes gas as a source by reliance on free electricity means removing a fossil fuel to harm our environment, albeit that natural gas is a 'clean gas', I have seen Patrick Harvie be annoyed by the proposal of selling gas to other countries.. Free electricity for electric cars means a free charge stations on every street, no concern of stealing electricity.

A one-off payment from each household a year of no more then say £120 around the start of the fiscal year. Why? because while the electricity is free, the machines need maintained and those who maintain the green machinery, need to be paid. My yearly bill for electricity is around £1000, saving me £880 per year. All electricity companies would end, by installation of a national electrical authority.

And as Scottish Greens.. wouldn't it feel good to shut down companies that had contributed to harming the environment? Showing your principals by acting positively in everyday lives.

Scottish oil is valuable. fact. Not just for fuel but for everything from plastics to stuff that makes roads. Scottish Greens should investigate 'clean methods' of using oil, because the cost of setting up free national green energy to surplus is going to be near unfathomable.

Incentivize the imagination by responsible beneficent action, not chastise with rebuke and shame.

The Future

In the future, I would like to see us attain our resources from inter-solar bodies, it is the right and sensible way forward. Why stay on this rock fighting over the resources of this rock just to die on this rock?

Tactical Voting
SNP members should by and large use their second vote for Scottish Greens give the SNP a more potent ally in the cause for independence, I was surprised when this was not suggested by the Scottish Greens last Scottish election.. just come out and say it 'vote Scottish Greens to help the SNP fight for Scottish Independence.'

With Unionist Labour tactically voting with Unionist Conservative and vice versa *just* to keep the SNP out.. it would be smart once the SNP hit the seat limit to have such a great ally in the Scottish Greens.

Kind regards

David
