Hooper to question Minister Boot in Keys
Can a renewable energy project in Manx waters qualify for UK subsidies?
That's the question Ramsey MHK Lawrie Hooper will ask to Environment Minister Geoffrey Boot in the House of Keys tomorrow.
Mr Hooper says it's a timely query, as the Island is now actively exploring greener ways of generating electricity:
Reopening of Martin Ward delayed following further safety checks
Further environmental concerns identified during checks, extending temporary closure beyond initial four-week estimate
Major reservoir projects completed on time and on budget
Manx Utilities gives update on Cringle and Clypse projects
Law Society responds to 'anecdotal' reports of conveyancing log-jam
Reported increase in local demand and rise in people off-Island seeking properties
Repair scheme an 'antidote to throwaway culture'
ECAS launches initiative to upcycle unwanted items
