Part Two: the City ofĀ OilĀ āĀ In part two, we look at Aberdeen, the fluctuating value of oil and the problems and opportunities in shifting to renewableĀ energyĀ
Part Three: Centuries of ShaleĀ āĀ In part three, we look at the totemic Grangemouth refinery, and what the plant means for the communities that depend onĀ it.
Part Four: the Hylands of HydroĀ ā in part four, we take a retrospective look at the successes of the Hydro board in the mid-20th century; a scheme which sets a precedent of a just transition in ScotlandĀ today.
