Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Frank Doran (Labour). It was answered on Wednesday, 9 November 2011 on behalf of the Scotland Office.
Carbon Capture and Storage
- Question
- The Government in the 1980s refused to invest in wind power and threw away our world lead in renewables. Are this Government making the same mistake by refusing to invest in the most advanced industrial-scale carbon capture and storage project in the world at Longannet?
- Answer
-
I do not agree with the hon. Gentleman on that, but I do agree that we are determined to see Britain take a leading role in this important technology. That is why the £1 billion of investment is still available and why Peterhead and other parts of the UK will be able to bid for it.
