Proceeding contribution from Lord O'Neill of Clackmannan (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 22 October 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Energy Bill.
Energy Bill
My Lords, on the question of time, does the noble Lord also agree that the most optimistic estimate of commercially viable equipment being available on the market, which has been made by Doosan Babcock, one of the leading British players in this, is that at the very earliest it will be 2020 before any kit of any size can be bolted on to a power station anywhere in the world? The German scheme of which he spoke I think produces something of the order of 30 megawatts. That is a very small output; it has a long way to go.
