Ahead of Scottish Greens conference, the Holyrood minister said the country remained 'a long way off' meeting targets to install eco-friendly boiler alternatives like heat pumps.
Patrick Harvie has warned Scots that he thinks “we’re not going fast enough” on replacing boilers with greener heating.
Harvie was speaking on a visit to an orchard run by Eats Rosyth community group in Fife - ahead of his party’s conference in Dunfermline starting today . He said the Scottish Greens conference would enable members to look at policies the party could push in the next few years through its 2021 Bute House power-sharing deal with the SNP.
“But we need to make real rapid progress… to make sure people are liberated from being over-dependent on fossil fuels and the price volatility that comes with that.” Experts warn these figures need to be climbing into the tens of thousands annually for Scotland to meet its climate targets.
