Energy Policy

As an amendment to motion S2M-02320 in the name of Alex Johnstone (Energy Policy), leave out from “is concerned” to end and insert “welcomes the Scottish Executive’s study into present and future energy supply and demand in Scotland; supports the Executive’s position of not supporting the further development of nuclear power stations while waste management issues remain unresolved; supports the Executive’s continuing commitment to the development of renewable energy in Scotland, including wind, wave, tidal, solar and biomass power, as a key element of a balanced energy supply portfolio; supports the Executive’s commitment to achieving 40% renewable electricity generation by 2020, and welcomes the Executive’s proposal in the Review of the Climate Change Programme to create an Energy Efficiency Strategy for Scotland.”
