Suggested amendment
after `manner;' insert `regrets that the Government's obsession with land-based wind farms at the expense of other renewable technology is leading to the desecration of the landscape of Cumbria whilst making a tiny contribution to the United Kingdom's energy needs; believes that massive steel wind turbines over 300 feet high have no place in the landscape of the Lake District;'.
Original motion text
That this House notes that biomass heating could reduce household carbon emissions by around three million tonnes, equivalent to taking 3.25 million cars off the road; recognises the significant environmental and economic benefits of using farm and forestry waste as well as specific crops to produce energy and the opportunities that energy crops offer farmers, landowners and rural communities to diversify their activities and rebuild rural economies in a sustainable manner; regrets that biomass only accounts for one per cent. of total UK heat generation; and calls on the Government to rebalance the renewables obligation away from its bias towards land-based wind power to create the stimulus necessary for the development of a sustainable biomass industry.
