Proceeding contribution from David Drew (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 18 November 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Energy Bill.

Energy Bill

I thank the hon. Gentleman—my neighbour—for giving way. Does he agree that that point is a weakness, and that one way of responding to it would be to collectivise the operation of the feed-in tariffs? One weakness of the renewables industry is that we rely far too much on pepper-potting activity, depending on the willingness of individuals to participate. We need communities, neighbourhoods and streets to take up initiatives together, so that they can benefit from the efficiencies that arise from economies of scale.
