Draft National Policy Statement for Fossil Fuel Electricity Generating Infrastructure (EN-2)

My noble friend knows a great deal more about these things than I do and, like our noble friend Lady Thatcher, he comes armed with a piece of paper in his handbag. In response to my noble friend, that is the purpose of the demonstration projects. Is the figure put forward by the professor right or not? That is what it is all about. It is not to prove the technology as such, because that exists. Sequestration is perfectly clear. It is to prove whether it can be economic in European conditions.
