SCOTTISH Greens co-leader Lorna Slater has demanded that the SNP government ensure that workers benefit from the green employment potential north of the border. 

She called on ministers in Edinburgh to take advantage of the country’s huge renewable energy potential to deliver thousands of good-quality, well-paid, unionised jobs in the sector.

Ms Slater, an engineer who is currently project-managing the construction of a tidal turbine in Dundee, said that Scotland “already has the skills to be a world leader.”
