― The Scenarios presented overestimate the number of electric cars likely to be in use in Scotland by 2050 due to underestimating the rise of home working, car sharing, internet shopping and public transport.

― Electric vehicles should be as discouraged from city centres as internal combustion vehicles will be. Instead, the focus should be on public transport and active travel.

Fuel poverty is not only worse in rural Scotland than in urban Scotland, it also has different characteristics. For example, in urban areas 92% of those classified as income-poor are not classified as fuel-poor while in rural areas only 8% of those classified as income poor are not also fuel poor – fuel poverty plays a much larger role in rural poverty than in urban poverty.

Scotland heats the majority of its homes and buildings in inefficient and deleterious efforts to become a net zero-carbon nation. Much more effective than individual boilers would be a system of District Heating Systems (DHS). These DHS networks could be supplied with a variety of sources such as biomass, solar thermal or industrial waste heat.
