The new age of Hydro

Interesting to see Alex Salmond on Newsnight Scotland last night praising the wartime Scottish Secretary Thomas Johnston as 'perhaps the only truly great Secretary of State' (or words to that effect), as he heralded a new era of hydro-electric power on opening Scottish and Southern's Glendoe project. David Ross in yesterday's Herald duly gave Johnston credit for the major hydro projects in the 1940s and '50s.
