Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action

Renewable Energy - Wind, Solar and Biogas: Discussion

Mr. John Fitzgerald:

Potentially. That is what we want. The scale that exists in the UK, generating 5 GW, 10 GW or 15 GW, opens possibilities around new systems, innovation and doing things differently. If we wait for the technology and generate 3 GW or 4 GW using technology we import from the UK, we will not get any jobs out of it.
