Proposing of Motion 2 on Renewable Energy

Speech by Councillor Alan Lawther delivered to 2006 Party Conference on Sat 4th Mar 2006

Conference notes that the failure to tackle the environmental and long-term costs of dependence upon non-renewable energy sources is damaging and unsustainable.

Conference reiterates its call for the realisation of an all-islands energy market, diversity of supply and the assertive promotion of renewable, sustainable energy.

Conference calls for a subsidised premium to be paid to those who can supply renewable-sourced energy, in order to encourage its further development.

Proposer: Councillor Alan Lawther

Seconder: Elena Aceves-Cully
