Proceeding contribution from Malcolm Wicks (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 30 June 2008. It occurred during Opposition day on Energy Security.


Energy Security

Let us be clear: when there are good environmental or other reasons for saying no to a project—a power station or a wind farm—the answer should be no. That is right and proper. However, we must say yes if we want energy security and if we wish to tackle global warming. That is why the not-in-my-backyard people need to be faced down.
