Unabated Coal-Fired Electricity Generation

EDM number 1798 in 2007-08, proposed by Desmond Turner on 16/06/2008.
Categorised under the topics of Coal, Energy, Environmental protection and Renewable energy.

That this House considers that in the light of the current state of knowledge of climate change and of the Government's response in the form of the Climate Change Bill, which will set out a mandatory framework for the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions, it would not be proper to license any new coal-fired electricity generating plant that does not have provisions for abating carbon dioxide emissions.

This motion has been signed by a total of 23 MPs.
