Chris Clarifies If Climate Change Report Will Increase Dependency On China
Christopher Chope Conservative, Christchurch
Does my right hon. Friend accept that one consequence of the Climate Change Committee report is to increase our country’s reliance on Chinese technology and raw materials?
Graham Stuart Minister of State (Department for Energy Security and Net Zero)
China has even greater offshore wind capacity than ourselves—it has the largest wind and largest solar capacity in the world—and it has a significant level of production. We recognise that we will need technology from all over the world, including China, if we are to meet our net zero aspirations.
