Half of Scotland's electricity consumption came from renewables last year

Based on reading this: http://www.hi-energy.org.uk/Renewables/Renewables.htm

and this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_power_in_Scotland

...it appears most of that is wind energy, with a little bit of hydro.

"renewable" energy is a misleading term. It includes renewable (non fossil-fuel) sources such as Corn Ethanol. It is debatable whether such sources have any long-term environmental benefit[1]. Carbon neutral or zero-carbon energy is a much clearer term with much more direct environmental benefits. It's also a higher standard which means less impressive numbers to report which is probably why they did not use it in this article.

One of the commenters, Alexander Fleming, says the headline is misleading and points out: "There's more "energy" consumed than just electricity energy - there's heating energy and transport energy and most of that is not electric, yet."
