Energy And Climate Change

EDM number 789 in 2007-08, proposed by Peter Ainsworth on 25/01/2008.
Categorised under the topics of Climate change, Energy, Energy conservation, Environmental protection and Pollution.

That this House recognises the global imperative of tackling climate change; notes the importance of decarbonising the UK's energy production in order to meet this imperative; is concerned therefore by current plans to develop over 10GW of new coal power stations in Britain, which will result in 50 million extra tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions from the UK economy per annum; and asks the Secretary of State for Business, Employment and Regulatory Reform to call in the application to build a new coal-fired power station at Kingsnorth in Kent, in order that full consideration is given to the implications of the proposed development for the UK's climate change and energy policies.

This motion has been signed by a total of 55 MPs.
