In this episode of the Holyrood Sources podcast, the hosts assess the latest developments in Scottish politics, focusing on Nicola Sturgeon's recent legal relief amidst ongoing investigations into SNP finances. They discuss the public's reaction to Sturgeon's situation, her legacy, and the trust issues facing the SNP. The conversation also touches on Anas Sarwar's surprising new stance on energy policy, Douglas Ross's departure from Holyrood, and the dynamics within the Tory party regarding net zero policies. We also consider the future of the Grangemouth complex in Scotland, particularly in light of its potential closure and the impact on jobs. The conversation highlights the Acorn carbon capture and storage project as a critical component for decarbonising Scotland's industrial sector. The guests discuss the political support for the project, the maturity of carbon capture technology, and the significant economic and job creation potential associated with the Acorn project. We're joined by Nic Braley who leads the Acorn project.
