Nuclear power stations are needed for two main reasons. First as a by-product of the nuclear arms race, which has just resumed with the UK's participation.
Secondly to stabilise the power grid based on the renewables. Yes, Scotland produces more energy than it's needed locally and because of that became even more dependent on England as the energy receiver and the part of the common grid with the energy resources independent from the weather.
In the case of Scotland the only reasonable energy policy should be based on the natural gas we have more than enough for the Scottish purposes. Renewables and nuclear power are just two sides of the same coin, extremely unfavorable for Scotland and Scottish energy balance.
