Proceeding contribution from Malcolm Wicks (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 23 November 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Annual Energy Statement.
Annual Energy Statement
If the last Labour Government did nothing about energy policy, I cannot think why I was so busy all the time. To raise the tone of this discussion, I welcome what the Secretary of State said about long-term contracts, and I would like to hear more. On carbon capture and storage, the Secretary of State knows that despite all the excitement about feed-in tariffs, renewables and nuclear, the world, including the United Kingdom, will mainly be using fossil fuels for the next few decades. What is happening in respect of CCS? There have been some disappointments in recent months. When does the Secretary of State think the first CCS plant in the UK will be operating and helping to clean up our planet?
