Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Jim Devine (Labour). It was answered on Thursday, 8 April 2010 on behalf of the Department of Energy and Climate Change.
Fuel Poverty
- Question
- As my hon. Friend knows, there are over 100 years of coal underground. Should we not look at a strategy for extracting that coal? That would make a major contribution to the eradication of fuel poverty.
- Answer
-
I am sure it is right that a diverse energy supply will help us to keep control of energy prices, and clean fossil fuels such as coal will assist in that. That is why we are world leaders with our levy for supporting four commercial demonstration models of carbon capture and storage.
