Green steel - shop local

Calton would like to congratulate Ross County on their well-deserved promotion to the SPL. It is a real shot in the arm to the Dingwall economy. It was also good to hear that Ardersier may be following Nigg's lead in being reborn as a hub for the green energy sector. Hopefully the emphasis will be on wave and tidal, not wind. Elsewhere, there was celebration on Teesside as the Redcar blast furnace was relit two years after being closed down. It is just a great pity that there is nothing left to relight at Ravenscraig. Looks like we are going to be importing steel from England to make the blades for all the wind turbines planned for our countryside. Maybe we should see if they can do the steel for the new Forth crossing too, instead of getting it from China, with all the transportation costs which that involves. How on earth can it be green to ship steel half-way round the world? Explain that one Alex!
