A new nuclear power station may be necessary to prevent the "lights going out" in Scotland in the not-too-distant future, according to MPs.
A report by Westminster's Scottish Affairs Committee demands an audit of energy resources and suggests a renewed role for nuclear power and coal.
Two nuclear power plants generate much of Scotland's energy but they are reaching the end of their lives.
MPs have concluded that renewable energy and imports cannot plug the gap.
