Salmond/Sturgeon on renewable energy

Interesting press release, dated 20 August, on renewable energy entitled, "Salmond and Sturgeon announce renewable energy plan":

According to Nicola Sturgeon, "Scotland has 25% of Europe’s wind and tidal resources". An impressive statistic, although I do wonder where it comes from.

Perhaps in the future we will be able to buy electricity that is 100 percent from renewable energy without paying a steep premium for it? As far as I know, Good Energy is currently the only green electricity company (at least in Edinburgh) but their charges are about 20 percent higher than other companies.
