MHK expected to debate the topic in the next parliamentary sitting
A Douglas North MHK believes the Isle of Man needs to be 'self-sustainable' when it comes to energy.
David Ashford is proposing all political members debate the need for the Island to be energy self-sufficient in the next sitting of Tynwald.
He's highlighted a reliance on importing from the UK - who themselves are large importers - and questions whether there's security given recent global events.
Mr Ashford told Manx Radio he worries the Isle of Man is falling behind:
Disruption at Ronaldsway airport following incident with light aircraft
Hopes for better working relationship between government and hospitality sector
'A lot of work to do' on low income housing
Public servants killed in the line of duty eligible for new award
Multi-million pound Villiers development recommended for approval
Rosalind Ranson row draws to a close
