Nah, we don't need coal. We've got wind, and lot's of it. Must be true, there's been enough wind turbines popping up everywhere since the SNP came to power.

Salmond is still not entirely satisfied and reckons only full independance will suffice.

Not exactly major, increasing income tax has been on the cards for a while. They haven't done it as Scot's don't like paying tax anymore than the rest of the UK does. They'd probably lose votes. The bonds option will probably go over most people's heads, unless it's explained properly.
