Energy Bill

Proceeding contribution from Caroline Lucas (Green Party) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 4 December 2013. It occurred during Debate on bills on Energy Bill.

Is the hon. Gentleman aware of the Carbon Tracker report that shows we need to leave four-fifths of known proven fossil fuel reserves in the ground if we are to have any chance of avoiding 2° warming? That being the case, Carbon Tracker analysis found that, even with CCS, fossil fuel carbon budgets would be extended by only a very small amount. If we are serious about staying below 2°, CCS still does not help us—we need to get off coal with or without CCS.
