Energy bills are soaring, and Scotland's future hangs in the balance. In this episode, we tackle the complexity of Scotland's energy market with Dr Craig Dalzell from Commonweal, exploring whether First Minister John Swinney's bold claim that independence could cut Scottish bills by a third holds water.

We unpack the intricate dynamics of energy pricing, the potential economic benefits of Scottish energy independence, and the critical difference between community benefit agreements and true community ownership.  And what would real change look like for Scottish households struggling with rising costs?
