Selling the Breeze

My cynical senses have been triggered by today's announcement of East coast subsea interconnectors from Fraserburgh to Drax and further cables. The parallel with Scotland's oil is startling - wind farm licences sold to the highest (usually non-Scottish) bidder, wind farms owned, manufactured and assembled by foreign companies, the "product" shipped away from Scotland (no cheap leccy here) with our domestic prices kept high by market forces.
Please can someone reassure me this is not another rape of Scotland's resources for the benefit of anyone other than the peoples who live here?
