Looks like YES has the momentum. The BS the fear-mongers are peddling
isn't working. But still too close to call.
_How is Scotland going to pay for it:_
Oil & Gas £1,500 BILLION (also the North Sea bonus, which London is
most scared about losing.)
10% of Europe's Wave Energy
25% of Europe's wind and tidal potential
Tourism £10 BILLION
Construction £17 BILLION
Scotch export £4.3 BILLION
Creative industries £5 BILLION
Rural & Island £32 BILLION
Manufacturing export £15 BILLION
Life Sciences £1.9 BILLION
Food & Drink £13 BILLION
According to the Financial Times analysis an independent Scotland would
be in the top 20 richest countries in the world. Scotland ranks 14th
out of the 34 member countries of the Organisation for Economic
Co-operation and Development (OECD), higher than the UK at 18th. Our
economy per head produces more per head of population than Japan,
France and the UK.
