Debate
Environmental Targets (Public Authorities) Bill [HL]Contribution
Advances are being made, but the targets that we have set ourselves are damaging the economy of this country. Our chances of re-industrialising are absolutely minimal as long as we go on having the highest electricity prices in the G7. We have to look at all this and start taking a much more sensible approach to CO2 emissions. We need to continue to electrify wherever possible, but if we are paying the highest possible electricity prices in the developed world, we have a very serious problem ahead of us. I beg to move.
