lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, last Monday the British Government announced feasibility studies into five tidal-power schemes in the Severn Estuary: three would be barrages and two would be lagoons. The EU has rightly set ambitious targets for renewable energy, but the idea that achieving these targets will be pain-free is a delusion. The Severn barrage could supply up to 5% of the UK’s energy needs, yet this would challenge interpretations of the Habitats Directive. The result of legal arguments – or public opinion – blocking the scheme would be to prove the truth of Nietzsche’s dictum that madness is rare in individuals, but common in parties, groups and organisations. The EU and the British Government should ponder Jeremy Bentham’s philosophy that we should look for the greatest good for the greatest number."@en1
