Minister responds to Green Party call
The environment minister says he hopes government can buy into a 'large scale renewables scheme' to address a mix of climate change challenges on the Island.
Geoffrey Boot was speaking after the Isle of Man Green Party called for his department to invest in solar technology for public housing and government buildings.
The Climate Change Bill went through its third reading in the House of Keys last week and will now be scrutinised by the Legislative Council.
Mr Boot says while solar panels are effective government needs to be addressing the issues to a bigger extent:
Vote on Castle Rushen High School funding 'very unlikely' before election
Ramsey Commissioners to host public meeting about cottage hospital
DfE provided more than £250,000 to MT to assist with below ground fibre installations
Man given suspended sentence after importing 2kg of cannabis to Island
