Environment Minister Phil Gawne says he’s disappointed the Island is failing in its carbon footprint ambitions – but says action on renewable energy will still be taken.
A report by the Council of Ministers on producing 15 per cent of the Island power through renewable sources by 2015 will be laid before Tynwald this month.
It says wind, biomass, anaerobic digestion, tidal, wave, hydro, solar and micro-generation are all failing to help meet the target.
Mr Gawne says despite the failure, it’s still better to aim high:
Oral health of five-year-olds to be assessed this spring
Garff Commissioners hosting offshore windfarm drop in session today
No harbour basin work planned in Laxey this summer
Public invited to suggest new brownfield site for potential re-development
