Proceeding contribution from Lord Palmer (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 22 October 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Energy Bill.


Energy Bill

My Lords, I strongly support this amendment and echo everything that has been said. I agree with the noble Lord, Lord Campbell-Savours: I see no reason why the Government cannot accept this amendment. Recently, I was extremely tempted to install a geothermal system at home, but it was prohibitively expensive. Along with this amendment, the Government must channel a little more money into research and development, because this is an exciting and important long-term aspect of renewable energy. It is my pleasure thoroughly to support this amendment.
