lpv:spoken text	". I will be supporting this resolution, along with my colleagues in the Socialist Group and the Labour delegation, but nevertheless I must point out a key omission in the section on energy policy, namely tidal power. Global warming pushes us away from conventional power, while safety and security concerns threaten nuclear power. The gap can be filled with renewables only with great difficulty, whether solar, wind or biofuels. The one opportunity that is being neglected is tidal power. The French built the power station across La Ranche estuary demonstrating the technology; in the UK both the Mersey, on a small scale, and the Severn, on a massive scale, are suitable sites. The Severn scheme alone could supply nearly 10% of Britain's energy needs. Why are we neglecting 'big' renewables in favour of covering our hillsides with windmills and our roofs with solar panels?"@en1
