Look at energy efficiency when it comes to considering green targets

The report published by the Scottish Parliament's Economy, Energy and Tourism Committee into the achievability of the Government's energy targets is a disappointment ("New green energy dispute", The Herald, November 24).

Of course it concluded the targets were achievable. How could it do otherwise when two-thirds of its members are from the SNP and Green party?

More important is what it didn't look at. To consider only energy production and not efficient energy use is to look at only half the story.
