Renewable Energy Technologies

EDM number 78 in 1998-99, proposed by Andrew Stunell on 03/12/1998.

That this House is deeply concerned about the fall in Government investment in research and development, dissemination and demonstration of renewable energy technologies from ú26 million in 1993-94 to ú14 million in 1997-98; notes that the UK has huge, unexploited resources which can meet the country's energy needs and create thousands of new jobs and industries; calls on Her Majesty's Government to promote the development of renewable sources of energy and publish its Renewables Review without further delay; and urges the government to set a target for energy generation from renewables beyond 2010 to ensure that the development of renewables makes a substantial contribution to the UK Government's greenhouse gas reduction targets and to longer-term amelioration of climate change.

This motion has been signed by a total of 28 MPs.
