Fergus Ewing, the Scottish energy minister, has discovered that this involves the “most serious job situation Scotland has faced in living memory”. Can this be the same Fergus Ewing with whom I took part in an energy debate in Aberdeen before the referendum when he insisted that planning Scotland’s economic future on the basis of oil at $113 was not only prudent but – as the White Paper said – “cautious”?
I looked back in the light of Mr Ewing’s apocalyptic change of tune to the immediate aftermath of that encounter. “As you might expect in Aberdeen,” I wrote, “it was a knowledgeable audience and an authoritative voice from the floor told him that the entire oil industry is working on a forward curve of $90 a barrel. ‘Your numbers are not taken seriously. Your numbers are simply wrong.’ Nobody demurred.”
