| NI 'must point the way on renewable energy' |
|
 Northern Ireland must lead the way in developing an alternative energy strategy, Peter Hain insisted today. In a wide-ranging speech at Stormont on the challenges facing the province, the Northern Ireland Secretary confirmed the British government was planning a £59 million renewable energy plan for the region.
He told members of the Fabian Society that global environmental challenges meant the Government would have to enhance and accelerate its sustainable energy strategy.
"We are facing two potentially catastrophic scenarios: a threat to our security of energy supply, and, even more dangerous, global warming which has seen the 10 warmest years on record since 1990 and threatens the very future of our planet," the minister warned.
