From today's featured article
The production of renewable energy in Scotland came to the fore in technical, economic and political terms in the 21st century. In 2020, Scotland had 12 gigawatts of renewable electricity capacity which produced about a quarter of UK renewable generation. In decreasing order of capacity, Scotland's renewable generation comes from onshore wind (turbines pictured), water, offshore wind, solar photovoltaics and biomass. Fears regarding fuel poverty and climate change increased its prevalence on the political agenda. Renewables met a quarter of total energy consumption in 2020; the Scottish government target is having renewables meet half of total energy consumption by 2030. Although there is significant support from the public, private and community-led sectors, concerns about the effect of the technologies on the natural environment have been expressed. There is also a political debate about the relationship between the siting, and the ownership and control of these widely distributed resources. (Full article...)

Armenian genocide denial is the claim that the Ottoman Empire did not commit genocide against its Armenian citizens during World War I—a crime widely documented and affirmed by the vast majority of scholars. The perpetrators denied the genocide as they carried it out; incriminating documents were later systematically destroyed. Denial has been the policy of every government of the Republic of Turkey, and rests on the assumption that the "relocation" of Armenians was a legitimate state action, not deliberate extermination. Deniers claim the death toll is exaggerated or attribute the deaths to other factors. Ronald Grigor Suny states that the main argument is "there was no genocide, and the Armenians were to blame for it". An important reason for this denial is that the genocide enabled the establishment of a Turkish nation-state; recognition would contradict Turkey's founding myths. The Turkish state's century-long denial of the genocide sets it apart from other cases of genocide. (Full article...)
