But who will invest cash in the SNIB with the SGs record in business intervention? The risk rating on those bonds will not be AA..

scottish government doesn't have the powers to borrow the billions required to fund a publicly owned venture like the article suggests, though. The SNP had plans to set up a publicly owned retail energy company in the past, but even if they'd done that, such a retail company would have nothing to do with energy generation/infrastructure.
Or were you actually posting this because you're in favour in scottish independence and this is a great example of how a lack of powers has hamstrung scottish economic development?
