RENEWABLE ENERGY

Motion Text

That this House supports the concept and development of renewable energy technology; recognises the importance of this technology in enhancing Britain's energy security and in tackling climate change; is concerned that the Government is considering backing out of its 20 per cent. by 2020 EU renewable energy commitment; and urges the Government to develop a comprehensive renewable energy strategy which facilitates the development of less developed technologies such as offshore wind, tidal, wave and solar power in order to meet its renewable energy target.
