Welsh Energy Consensus

EDM number 2106 in 2005-06, proposed by Jenny Willott on 04/05/2006.

That this House believes that building a consensus in Wales on renewable energy sources is crucial; notes that Wales has some of the best potential sources of renewable energy production in the world; recognises that the full exploitation in Wales of innovative technologies can help put the UK at the forefront of environmentally friendly technology development; further believes that without a consensus, Wales will not be able fully to realise its considerable renewable energy potential; and further believes that a renewable energy consensus in Wales should be built around a common goal of achieving a sustainable energy economy in Wales that is affordable and effectively tackles climate change by exploiting the full range of potential renewable energy sources in Wales including microgeneration, onshore and offshore wind, biomass, tidal power, hydroelectric, solar, wave and geothermal potential as well as developing a more efficient decentralised energy network and investing in energy efficient technologies.

This motion has been signed by a total of 27 MPs.
