Proceeding contribution from Paddy Tipping (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 24 February 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill on Energy Bill.

Energy Bill

I am delighted that we agree on something. Will my hon. Friend concede that we are not clear not only about the technology and about whether it can work—the hon. Member for Cheltenham (Martin Horwood) did not give us an example of a coal project that was working anywhere in the world—but, more importantly, about the economics of carbon capture and storage? Until we can develop and refine that, it is premature to introduce emissions performance standards. We need the learning from CCS before we introduce an EPS.
