Lord Callanan (Con)
I have not seen the article to which the noble Baroness refers. It will probably come as a shock to her that I am not responsible for New Mexico; that is part of the United States’ commitment. All we can be responsible for are our own emissions and our own policies. We are striving to reduce our fossil fuel production and use in the UK, but it is a gradual phase-out. Rather than using imported LNG from the likes of the areas she mentioned, it makes more sense to use our own domestic production during that transition period.
Lord Pearson of Rannoch (Non-Afl)
My Lords, do the Government consult with any of the many serious scientists who say that net zero is a colossal mistake?
