Part of Question Time — Scottish Executive — General Questions – in the Scottish Parliament at 11:41 am on 13 September 2007.
I think that the people of Fife do an excellent job in the work that they do, whether that be in the production of renewable energy resources or in other sectors. We need to ensure that every sector in Scotland—whether it be renewable energy or oil and gas or any other area of manufacturing and production—is not just a leader in Scotland but a world leader. Such things should not be just a sop to the local area but should be because we are at the cutting edge of technology. Renewable energy is a priority for the Government. We will ensure that each area that is involved in that gets the chance to show what they can do.
