Jennifer Reyes+FollowShould Scotland Tap Its Own Oil?Imagine paying top dollar for imported coffee when you’ve got beans growing in your backyard—that’s the oil debate in Scotland right now.

Either way, what’s at stake is how much you’ll pay to keep the lights on—and who gets to call the shots. #EnergyDebate #Scotland #MoneyTalks #Business #Industry261Share
