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. Some politicians say leaving North Sea oil untouched is like shooting yourself in the foot, especially when energy bills are sky-high. Others argue it’s time to brew up more renewables and go green. 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

If you’re planning a Scotland trip, this is your must-stop spot for chill vibes and epic views. #TravelGoals #Scotland #HiddenGems #Travel221Share
