Nicola Sturgeon speech ahead of COP 26

The video discusses Scotland's renewable energy plans, including offshore and onshore wind power. It critiques the UK Government's decision not to prioritize the Scottish Cluster's carbon capture and storage (CCS) projects, highlighting the Acorn project's potential to reduce emissions and support jobs. The importance of CCS in meeting climate targets is emphasized, while cautioning against its misuse to justify fossil fuel extraction.

What is the current focus of the Scottish Government in terms of renewable energy expansion?

• Enhancing nuclear power plants

• Increasing solar power capacity

• Expanding offshore and onshore wind power

• Developing geothermal energy

Which project was considered the most advanced in the Scottish cluster for carbon capture and storage?

• The Grangemouth Project

• The Aberdeen Initiative

• The Acorn Project

• The Highland Scheme

How many jobs could the Scottish Cluster support over the next three decades?

• 20,000 jobs

• 10,000 jobs

• 15,000 jobs

• 5,000 jobs

What is a major concern regarding carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology?

• It requires too much land

• It is not effective in reducing emissions

• It is too expensive to implement

• It may lead to increased fossil fuel extraction

Why does the Scottish Government believe the decision on the Acorn project should be revisited?

• It is the most expensive project

• It is the least advanced project

• It has the potential to significantly reduce emissions

• It has no impact on job creation
