Proceeding contribution from Lord Vinson (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 11 March 2010. It occurred during Debate on Draft National Policy Statement for Fossil Fuel Electricity Generating Infrastructure (EN-2).

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

I have only been a listener, but I take a great interest in this subject. What does all this do to our energy costs in the international context? If, as previous speakers have suggested, at this rate our energy costs are likely to be twice those of other countries, that is going to be a huge handicap on our industry. Have we looked at these projects in relation to the totality of cost and its effect on industry?
