The typical household gas bill has gone up by 33% since April. Clean renewable energy generation is Scotland's best path to energy security and lower bills.
Carbon Brief. Wind and solar save UK from gas imports worth £5.9bn during Hormuz crisis. Wind and solar have generated a record 41% share of the UK’s electricity needs in 2026 to date, compared with 25% from gas.

With bills constantly on the rise it's time to demand better. Greens have already secured a £2 bus fare cap for the Highlands and Islands, and in Strathclyde. We need the £2 bus fare cap to be rolled out across the rest of Scotland now!

This year we secured a £2 bus fare cap in the Highlands and Islands. That's now been extended to Strathclyde region. But the Government says it could take up to 5 years to get to the rest of Scotland. England will reduce their cap to £2 in January. Scotland shouldn't have to wait.

When operated at full capacity this data centre would use the energy equivalent to over two million homes. Its emissions would exceed the legal limit in Dumfries and Galloway by almost double. This application must be rejected.
STV News. Plans submitted for 'world's largest' data centre at former nuclear power station. The Scottish Greens have warned that the proposal would put a massive straight on Scotland's energy grid.

Scotland shouldn't be providing resources to support and facilitate marches that cause fear and division in communities. The Scottish Government and Police Scotland must ensure officers are never deployed to events like this again.

The Scottish Parliament backed our motion to boycott, divest from, and sanction Israel. Yet, there are still companies with links to Israeli war crimes in Palestine getting taxpayer contracts in Scotland. It's time to fully implement the boycott and cancel these contracts.

The climate crisis is here. New fossil fuel drilling won't cut household bills, it won't make our country more energy secure, and it will only worsen the climate emergency. Scotland needs to invest in clean, green renewables to secure our future.

New oil and gas drilling won't lower bills. And climate change is already bringing devastating wildfires, droughts and extreme heat. The Scottish Government must stand by our commitments and oppose new drilling at Jackdaw and Rosebank.
