Proceeding contribution from Baroness Miller of Chilthorne Domer (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 23 May 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Energy White Paper.

Energy White Paper

My Lords, does the Minister agree that there are many ways to harness the power of the river Severn that do not include the barrage? It is not a question of either/or; the generation of 5 per cent of our electricity could be achieved by accessing the tidal stream on the Severn in a variety of ways. Can he comment on power loss during transmission through the National Grid? Are the Government considering the development of more localised, regional grids?
