Sign up for our new, free newsletter from Scottish Energy Experts
Three writers, who previously wrote the Three Engineers column, will focus in on Scotland's energy landscape for this new newsletter, which will be free to receive for both subscribers and casual readers of The National. The experts are: Simon Forrest, CEO of world-leading marine energy firm Nova Innovation Dick Winchester, oil industry veteran known for his regular writing at Energy Voice John Proctor, former global director of special projects at Intergen with 43 years of experience in energy generation. He is now convener of Energy Scotland, an association of Scottish-based energy professionals focused on responding to Scotland's energy challenges Scotland has some of the highest energy bills in Europe. Why is this, when we have an abundance of energy resources at our fingertips? That is the central premise of the Energy Experts newsletter. Our three industry leaders, whose expertise spans renewables, oil and gas, will examine the biggest problems in the energy sector and how Scotland can respond to them – with a particular focus on the difference that independence could make. The newsletter will explore issues like: How do Scots respond to rising energy costs and make sure that we truly benefit from the renewables revolution? What's the story with the increasing hostility towards renewable developments in the Highlands and Islands? Why are we paying to turn off wind farms? Why don't politicians want zonal pricing? What policies should we turn to if we want to make the most of our energy-rich nation? After Grangemouth's closure, how can we ensure a genuinely just transition? Readers can also pop their questions on all things energy in the comments. Forrest will be the first of the experts to write the newsletter next week, and you can expect to receive your updates from the team on the last Friday of each month. Sign up here for free. Subscribers can also read the edition online or in print each month.

Spirits industry getting hammered, reviving a river, ‘hell ants': Catch up on the day's stories
👋 Welcome to 5 Things PM! Ivermectin — the drug that ignited a firestorm of controversy during the coronavirus pandemic — is now available over the counter in some US states. A doctor explains what it can be used for. Here's what else you might have missed during your busy day: 1️⃣ Getting hammered: Exports of American-made spirits reached a record high of $2.4 billion last year. However, a leading industry group warned that a nasty hangover is about to hit as tariffs threaten to stunt growth. Whiskey in particular is in the crosshairs, after President Donald Trump launched a global trade war. 2️⃣ Rooted in ritual: With a history dating back to at least the 13th century, the Fisherman's Ring is among the most recognizable items of papal regalia. Pope Francis wore it throughout his 12-year reign, but tradition dictates that it be destroyed after his death. 3️⃣ A precious resource: The Marañón River, which runs 900 miles across Peru — from the snow-capped mountains of the Andes into the mighty Amazon River — has suffered decades of oil spills. Now that it's considered a legal person, things could change. 4️⃣ 'Hell ants': An almost overlooked 113 million-year-old fossil discovered in a Brazilian museum collection has revealed the oldest ant specimen known to science. The prehistoric insect lived among dinosaurs and had an unusual way to kill its prey. 5️⃣ Change of pace: Melissa Vargas grew tired of the 'work hard, play hard mentality' in New York City and wanted to try something different. She said stepping out of her comfort zone and moving to Germany was the best decision she's ever made.
