That&rsquo;s the prediction made in a new report published by member organisation Scottish Renewables, which suggests renewable energy is providing signficant benefits to almost every aspect of the nation&rsquo;s economy and is supporting major growth in terms of innovation, jobs, communities, climate progress and the rural economy.</p></em><br /><br /><p>The United Kingdom's green energy revolution is continuing apace following record-setting sustainable energy generation initiatives that have nearly eliminated the use of coal-fired energy in the country.&nbsp;</p> <p>According to&nbsp;the Scottish government<em>,&nbsp;</em><a href="https://archinect.com/news/article/150157422/all-new-public-buildings-in-scotland-to-be-net-zero" target="_blank">Scotland's</a> recent move to double-down on wind generation has produced enough electricity to <a href="https://www.gov.scot/publications/annual-energy-statement-2019/pages/3/" target="_blank">power over 1.8 million&nbsp;homes</a>.&nbsp;</p> https://archinect.com/news/article/56739183/more-is-rich Jaakko van 't Spijker 2012-09-06T05:19:00-04:00 >2012-09-11T09:48:07-04:00 <img src="https://archinect.gumlet.io/uploads/yx/yxt04jjcsro90chp.jpg?fit=crop&auto=compress%2Cformat&enlarge=true&w=1200" border="0" /><p> MORE IS RICH proposes a radical congestion of a selected landscape strip in the Fresh Kills Park.
