Wind Turbine Regulation Bill 2016: Second Stage [Private Members] (21 Sep 2017)

Brian Stanley: ...in the meantime. The Green Party put forward a case against the Bill, and I accept it is genuine in what it believes. It left out many other sources of energy, such as anaerobic digestion and hydropower. I know hydropower has its limitations. Deputy Ryan did not mention other sources of energy. We agree that, based on our information from the industry, offshore energy is getting...

Bríd Smith: ...reserves of carbon and fossil fuel. Our problem is the more of it we burn, the more we threaten the environment and the planet. Like others in this House, I take great interest in renewable energy and the role which solar and wind energy can play. I find it difficult to understand why we are failing to unveil or roll out projects that would be popular in this country to deliver carbon...

On balance, we have decided to support Deputy Brian Stanley's Bill....

Brian Stanley: ...for such a setback. If the wind turbine is 100 m in height, then a setback of 1 km would suffice. In that context, we would have multiples of the 2,108 sq. km available, which would provide wind turbines to power half of Europe. That is the fact of the matter. This would provide a huge level of protection and would allow wind farms to be developed in a sensible, sane and balanced way,...
