Proceeding contribution from Caroline Lucas (Green Party) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 30 June 2010. It occurred during Debate on Energy Efficiency.
Energy Efficiency
I am in danger of repeating myself a lot, but given that it will take at least 10 or 15 years to get nuclear power up and running, if it is really the case—which I do not believe—that the lights will go off in 10 years, nuclear power simply will not help us. I find it ironic that this is supposed to be a debate about energy efficiency, yet the hon. Gentleman is spending his time talking about nuclear, wind and coal. Let us talk about energy efficiency. According to the previous Government's own figures, 40% of our existing energy could be saved using energy-efficiency measures alone.
